ts-rpc

• npm i ts-rpc-node
• source code
• See bin/test for javascript example

How it works?

Your all services connnect to a proxy server. The proxy server is responsible for forwarding data packets. If the proxy server is not connected, the client will continue to try again and again.

typescript example

// server.ts
// Create proxy server.
import { IServerOptions, createProxy, ServerHandle } from "ts-rpc-node";

const opts: IServerOptions = {
    listen: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 25165,
    },
    token: 'JZYKMUsG2I4t6TulbpXigKHCI2E2cC6YE84H0Los2XWL/wap+Db0xv5K/aolcQIL',
};

const proxyserver: ServerHandle = createProxy(opts);

// client1.ts
import * as rpc from 'ts-rpc-node';

class Calculate {
    public Addition(a: number, b: number, next: (err: any, ret: number) => void) {
        if (typeof a !== 'number') {
            return next('a should be number type', 0);
        }
        if (typeof b !== 'number') {
            return next('b should be number type', 0);
        }
        next(null, a + b);
    }

    public RectangleArea(data: { height: number, width: number }, next?: (err: any, ret: number) => void) {
        if (typeof data.height !== 'number' || typeof data.width !== 'number') {
            if (next) {
                next('data err', 0);
            }
            return 0;
        }
        const area = data.height * data.width;
        if (next) {
            next(null, area);
        }
        return area;
    }
}

export class MyApp {
    public calcu = new Calculate();

    public sayHello(msg: string) {
        console.log('hello,', msg);
    }
}
const app = new MyApp();

function test() {
    const OPTS: rpc.IClientOptions = {
        connect: {

    };
    const client: rpc.ClientHandle = rpc.createClient(OPTS, app, () => {
        console.log('registe success');
    });
    // if client has no 'on',you should npm install @types/node --save-dev
    client.on(rpc.CLIENTHANDLE_EVENT.OTHER_RIGISTED, (name: string) => {
        console.log('I find another app registed', name);
    });
}

simplerpc()

Wrapper of RPC function

Possible signatures:

• simplerpc(rpcFunc)
• simplerpc(options,rpcFunc)

simplerpc(rpcFunc)

Parameters:

• rpcFunc «Function»

Returns:

• «Function»

simplerpc(options,rpcFunc)

Parameters:

• options «ICallFuncOption»
• rpcFunc «Function»

Returns:

• «Function»

promirpc()

Wrapper of RPC function, return by promise.

Possible signatures:

• promirpc(rpcFunc)
• promirpc(options,rpcFunc)

promirpc(rpcFunc)

Parameters:

• rpcFunc «Function»

Returns:

• «Promise<T>» T is rpcFunc's return type.

promirpc(rpcFunc)

Parameters:

• options «ICallFuncOption»
• rpcFunc «Function»

Returns:

• «Promise<T>» T is rpcFunc's return type.

Class:ClientHandle

Event:CLIENTHANDLE_EVENT.REGISTED

• key «string» My service's name.
• others «string[]»Name Array of other services.

Emitted when the client successfully registe in proxy server.

Event:CLIENTHANDLE_EVENT.CLOSE

• error «any»

Emitted when the connection between client and proxy server is disconnected.

Event:CLIENTHANDLE_EVENT.OTHER_RIGISTED

• key «string» Other service's name.

Emitted when other service successfully registe in proxy server.

Event:CLIENTHANDLE_EVENT.OTHER_CLOSE

• key «string» Other service's name.

Emitted when the connection between a service and proxy server is disconnected.

client.SetEnv

Set the context for other app's rpc

client.Remove

Disconnect from proxy server and release all references.

client.ProxyRoute

• [attr] «string»

Proxy attribute.

// client1.ts
app.rpc=client.ProxyRoute('recv') as TestA;
simplerpc({service:'client2'},app.rpc.print)('everybody');

// client2.ts

    print(msg){
        console.log('hello',msg);
    }
}
app.recv=new TestA();

client.SetCallFuncOpts

• opts «ICallFuncOption|undefined»

simplerpc or promirpc will use this opts if you do not give a ICallFuncOption. client.SetCallFuncOpts(undefined) will clear opts you set before.

client.setEncodeDecode

• encode «Function»
• decode «Function»

The default encode:JSON.stringify,decode:JSON.parse. Call this method to set your own encode,decode for rpc's arguments.

Parameters:

• opts «IClientOptions»
• [app] «any»

Returns:

• «Promise<ClientHandle>»

Class:ServerHandle

Properties:

• tokencheck «boolean»Open tokencheck by setting true, close by false. True is Default.If it's false, checking will not effect either client sends token or not.
• newtoken «string»You can Update token string. It will be priority before IServerOptions.token.

server.Remove

Close proxy server and release all references.

createProxy

Parameters:

• opts «IServerOptions»

Returns:

• «ServerHandle»

interface

ICallFuncOption

• service «string|string[]» The target service's name.This name is the unique identifier for each service.Giving a string array means the rpc will be broadcast to these services as a notice.
• [timeout] «number»
• [ignorecb] «boolean» Default false. When you use simplerpc, if the last argument is Function type, it means a notice, not a request. Set the option true to force the rpc to be a notice.And The last argument will be encode even it is a Function.
• [bytes] «number» The default size of a pack is 1MB. And the head of pack may take tens of bytes.You can set a right number by this option.

IClientOptions

• service «string» The unique string different from ench service.
• connect «Object»
  • host «string»
  • port «number»
• [logger] «any» You can set console or log4js to print logs.
• [coding] «string»
• [callback_timeout] «number»
• [token] «string»

IServerOptions

• listen «Object»
  • host «string»
  • port «number»
  • [exclusive] «boolean»
• [logger] «any» You can set console or log4js to print logs.
• [coding] «string»
• [token] «string»
