Transparent RPC

Automatic Proxy-based RPC for Node.js

How to use:

• Add $rpcMethods property to the prototype of the classes you want to export

• Create rpc.Socket object wrapping the transport layer (an object-mode stream supporting arbitrary objects)

  const rpc = require('transparent-rpc');
  let socket = new rpc.Socket(...);

• Publish the first stub object:

  let id = socket.addStub(mystub);

• Transmit the ID of the stub out of band

• Handle methods on the stub

• Objects received by the stub will be proxies

• Invoking a method on a proxy returns a promise for the execution of that method

• To publish more objects, return them from the stub's methods, or pass them them to remote proxy methods
