Restate Typescript SDK

Restate is a system for easily building resilient applications using distributed durable async/await. This repository contains the Restate SDK for writing services in Node.js / Typescript.

Restate applications are composed of durably executed, stateful RPC handlers that can run either as part of long-running processes, or as FaaS (AWS Lambda).

import * as restate from "@restatedev/restate-sdk";

const greeter = restate.service({
    name: "greeter",
    handlers: {
        greet: async (ctx: restate.Context, name: string) => {
            return `Hello ${name}!`;
        },
    },
});

restate.endpoint()
    .bind(greeter)
    .listen(9080);

Building the SDK

Prerequisites

NodeJS (and npm) installed

Install the dependencies and transpile the TypeScript code:

npm install
npm run build

If everything goes well, the artifact would be created at dist/.

Testing Changes

Run the tests via

npm run test

Run the formatter and linter via

npm run format
npm run lint

Launch a sample program (requires no build)

npm run example

Testing end-to-end with Restate Server

Releasing the package

Releasing via release-it

Releasing a new npm package from this repo requires:

SSH access configured for Github in order to push commits and tags to GitHub
A GitHub personal access token with access to https://github.com/restatedev/sdk-typescript in your environment as GITHUB_TOKEN in order to create a Github release

release-it

The actual npm publish is run by GitHub actions once a GitHub release is created.

Releasing manually

Bump the version field in package.json to X.Y.Z
Create and push a tag of the form vX.Y.Z to the upstream repository
Create a new GitHub release

Creating the GitHub release will trigger npm publish via GitHub actions.

After having created a new SDK release, you need to:
