Service metadata #91

The Service schema has a new metadata property. The Moleculer modules doesn't use it, so you can use it whatever you want.

broker.createService({
    name: "posts",
    settings: {},
    metadata: {
        scalable: true,
        priority: 5
    },

    actions: { ... }
});

The metadata is transferred between nodes, you can access it via $node.services. Or inside service with this.metadata like settings.

NATS transporter supports to use the built-in balancer

The NATS transporter has been changed. It supports to use the NATS built-in balancer instead of Moleculer balancer. In this case every call & emit will be transferred through NATS message broker.

let broker = new ServiceBroker({
    transporter: "NATS",
    disableBalancer: true
});
