Using Geddy without the CLI

Matthew Eernisse edited this page Sep 30, 2013 · 10 revisions

A Geddy app can be created without using the CLI startup-script.

Geddy needs to be installed locally in your apps node_modules directory for this to work.

If you want to run Geddy with its built-in clustering (which uses Node's built-in "cluster" module), start your application up like this:

var geddy = require('geddy');

geddy.startCluster({
  environment: 'production'
, workers: 4
}); 

If you want to run Geddy in the same process, with no workers, start your application like this:

var geddy = require('geddy');

geddy.start({
  environment: 'production'
}); 

Pass the same options to the startup command that you would to the CLI, using the "long" option name.
