Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

electron-irpc v0.0.2

npm version   Build Status

inter-process communication(IPC) and remote procedure call (RPC) combined. Makes Electron IPC work more like callbacks.

So instead of calling the main thread, it is replying back, etc. and manually keeping track of everything. This module abstracts it away where you can call functions added to IRPC in the main thread and get a callback as if it was a local function even though it's running in the main thread.

Install

To set up geoipfind on your Node.js server use npm.

npm install electron-irpc

main.js

Initially this in the main thread. Only one allowed per app, so if you want to access it outside of main.js, set it as a global or pass it to other modules in main.

var irpc = require('electron-irpc');

var irpcMain = irpc.main();

// Then within the process, you can add in functions, variables or functions/variables in the same format as modules
// Also note function names, variable names and namespaces are automatically lowercased when added and called

irpcMain.addFunction('hello', function(parameters, cb)
{
    cb(null, {
        msg: 'Hello, World...'
    });
});

irpcMain.addVariable('version', 'V9000');

irpcMain.addModule({
    ping: function(parameters, cb)
    {
        //callback - error, result
        cb(null, '2ms');
    },
    version: '9.0'
}, 'testModule'); //testModule is the namespace

renderer.js

var irpc = require('electron-irpc');

var irpcRenderer = irpc.renderer();

irpcRenderer.call('hello', {}, function(err, result)
{
    console.log(err, result);
});

irpcRenderer.get('version', function(err, result)
{
    console.log(err, result);
});

irpcRenderer.call('testModule.ping', {}, function(err, result)
{
    console.log(err, result);
});

irpcRenderer.get('testModule.version', function(err, result)
{
    console.log(err, result);
});
