Entrypoints in seperate file?

[kirkodo...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to create a service and have the entry points declared in separate files?

My reason is i'm making a service that will have around 30 entry points to manage the data in it's database (getting, setting, updating, etc..). and i want to group those entry points into different files just to be more organised.

For example i would have 10 entry points in manipulating account data, maybe 10 for users, maybe 2 for recording and getting actions users performed on an account, etc...

I can imagine a way of doing this, maybe making sub classes with all these split entry points and make the service class inherit all of these different sub classes.

Is there a proper way to do this? (is really what i'm asking for)

Thank you!

Hi Kirk,

Yes this is possible. As nameko service is just a python class you can split your entrypoints into separate ones and then combine them together like this:

# service.py

from nameko.rpc import rpc


class Dogs:

    @rpc
    def pet_dogs(self):
        pass


class Cats:

    @rpc
    def pet_cats(self):
        pass


class MyService(Dogs, Cats):
    name = 'my-service'

When doing that remember that you should invoke the service by specifying your main class like this:

nameko run --config config.yaml pets.service:MyService

Otherwise, if you just specify module, nameko will try to run all of your classes as separate services and start complaining that some of them are missing required name field.
