mobpie

flexible api layer for creating backends with MobX support

Important!

consider it more as an concept/draft, not as a working reliable module. Depending on the interest/feedback I would perhaps work on it.

Features

• Provides methods on the frontend which get called on observable changes
• Flexible design to allow different uses

Example

Full code under alangecker/mobpie-example

Backend

const MobpieBackend = require('mobpie')
const backend = new MobpieBackend(httpServer)

let text = observable({
  welcome: 'Hello World'
})


backend.register('demo', {
  getText(req) {
    req.send(null, text.welcome)
  },
  setText(req) {
    text.welcome = req.params[0]
    console.log(`set to '${req.params[0]}'`);
  }
})

Frontend

const api = new Mobpie
api.connect('http://localhost:5000', (err) => {
  api.demo.getText( (err, res) => {
    console.log('current text: '+res)
  })
  api.demo.setText('Hello yunity')
})

API

Backend

new MobpieBackend(http.Server)

backend.register(namespace, methods)

methods get always called with a Request instance.

req.send(...args)

arguments get passed to the frontend callback

Frontend

new Mobpie()

api.connect(url, callback)

api.namespace.method(...args, callback)

arguments get passed to req.params on the backend
