Azure local service is a minimal, self-contained, test implementation of the Azure Fluid Relay service that can be run locally and used for development/testing Fluid functionality in conjunction with the AzureClient in local mode.
The Azure local service includes most of the basic features needed to test data stores and containers. While we use the Webpack Fluid Loader's in browser service for much of our data store and container development, the Azure local service offers some advantages because it's a standalone process. For instance, testing a Fluid container from 2+ simultaneously connected clients is much easier using the Azure local service.
You can install, build, and start this service by running the following
npm i
npm run build
npm run startThe Azure local service uses port 7070 by default. You can change the port number by setting an environment variable named PORT to the desired number. For example:
$env:PORT=6502
npm run start
