ssb-deweird

Fixes some buggy stuff in muxrpc. Allows a muxrpc source to have normal pull-stream backpressure

This package provides two secret-stack plugins, one for the "frontend" of your SSB app, and another for the "backend". It also works over the network, where you would put one plugin on the producer-side (the side which provides a muxrpc source) and another on the consumer-side (the side which is calling the muxrpc source).

Usage

npm install --save ssb-deweird

Install the producer plugin on the backend side (where the ssb-server typically is):

 var createSsbServer = require('ssb-server')
     .use(require('ssb-unix-socket'))
     .use(require('ssb-no-auth'))
     .use(require('ssb-plugins'))
     .use(require('ssb-master'))
     .use(require('ssb-conn'))
     .use(require('ssb-about'))
+    .use(require('ssb-deweird/producer'))
     .use(require('ssb-replicate'))
     .use(require('ssb-friends'))
     // ...

Install the consumer plugin on the frontend (e.g. react-native-ssb-client or electron-ssb-client):

 import ssbClient from 'react-native-ssb-client'
+const deweird = require('ssb-deweird/consumer')

 // ...

 ssbClient(keys, manifest)
+  .use(require('ssb-deweird/consumer'))
   .call(null, (err, ssb) => {
     pull(
-      ssb.about.socialValueStream({key:'name', dest: ssb.id}),
+      ssb.deweird.source(['about', 'socialValueStream'], {key:'name', dest: ssb.id}),
       pull.drain((msg) => {
         // ...
       })
     )
   })

API

ssb.deweird.source(namespace, args)

1st argument namespace: Notice that the method is converted to an array of strings that specify the namespace of the muxrpc method.

2nd argument args: This is forwarded to the underlying muxrpc method. It supports either one value, or multiple values if you put them in an array. For instance ssb.deweird.source(namespace, {key:'name',dest}) OR ssb.deweird.source(namespace, [{key:'name',dest}]).
