Geberel

An IPC library uses UNIX domains.

Server

const Geberel = require('geberel');
const options = { path: '/tmp/geberel.sock' };
const server = new Geberel.server(options);

server.on('error', function (error) {
	console.log(error);
});

server.on('connect', function (socket) {

	socket.on('error', function (error) {
		console.log(error);
	});

	socket.when('test', function (data) {
		console.log(data); // { hello: 'people' }
	});

	socket.respond('async', function (data, done) {
		setTimeout(function () {
			data.foo = 'bar';
			done(data);
		}, 1000);
	});

});

server.open();

Client

const Geberel = require('geberel');
const options = { path: '/tmp/geberel.sock' };
const client = new Geberel.client(options);

client.on('error', function (error) {
	console.log(error);
});

client.on('connect', function (socket) {

	client.on('error', function (error) {
		console.log(error);
	});

	socket.relay('test', { hello: 'people' }, function (error) {
		// triggers the test event
	});

	socket.request('async', { hello: 'world' }, function (error, data) {
		console.log(data); // { hello: 'world' , foo: bar }
	});

});

client.open();

API

Geberel.server(options, callback)

Extends the Events.EventEmitter class.

• options: Object
  • path: String UNIX domain socket path. (Default: /tmp/geberel.sock)
  • allowHalfOpen: Boolean Indicates whether half-opened TCP connections are allowed. (Default: false)
  • pauseOnConnect: Boolean Indicates whether the socket should be paused on incoming connections. (Default: false)
  • socket: Object
    • autoClose: Boolean Defaults to true.
    • allowHalfOpen: Boolean Indicates whether half-opened TCP connections are allowed. (Default: false)
    • readable: Boolean Allow reads on the socket when an fd is passed, otherwise ignored. (Default: false)
    • writable: Boolean Allow writes on the socket when an fd is passed, otherwise ignored. (Default: false)
    • fd: Number If specified, wrap around an existing socket with the given file descriptor, otherwise a new socket will be created.
• close: Function
• open: Function
• Events
  • error
  • open
  • close
  • connect
