QPP Health Check Endpoint

This is the common QPP health check endpoint that is used by QPP services to make basic determinations if the service is up or down.

Dependencies

• This route requires the Express framework.
• Node versions tested: 6.9.1, 8.8.1

Adding to your project

npm install qpp-shared-healthcheck-node

Testing locally

You may need to add yarn to your local environment in order to install the dependencies. To do so, run npm install yarn -g in your terminal.

After running yarn install on a freshly cloned project, run npm test to kick off the test suite. If any errors are found after running the tests on a newly cloned repo, please open an issue on the github rep page immediately and include the version of Node that is used during runtime.

Using

Once the package has been installed, you can load the route into wherever routes are handled in your application.

Basic usage could be as follows:

var express = require('express')
var app = express()
var router = express.Router()
var endPoint = require('qpp-shared-health-check-node'); 
 
app.use(endPoint); 
app.listen(3000);

Once the application is running, you can hit the endpoint at /health. In this case with our simple application above, we would start the application and navigate to localhost:3000/health and expect to see some results.
