> Tiny :hatched_chick: RPC on top of nanomessage
```
$ npm install nanomessage-rpc
```
```javascript
import { NanomessageRPC } from 'nanomessage-rpc'
;(async () => {
const rpc = new NanomessageRPC({
send(buf) {
// implement how to send the message
},
subscribe(next) {
// subscribe for incoming messages
}
})
await rpc
.action('sum', ({ a, b }) => a + b)
.action('subtract', ({ a, b }) => a - b)
.open()
// from the other rpc socket side
const result = await rpc.call('sum', { a: 2, b: 2 }) // 4
})()
```
We provide a socket helper:
```javascript
import { NanomessageRPC, useSocket } from 'nanomessage-rpc'
;(async () => {
const rpc = new NanomessageRPC({ ...useSocket(socket) })
// ...
})()
```
Also it has an [EventEmitter2](https://github.com/EventEmitter2/EventEmitter2) instance to emit events through the socket.
```javascript
;(async () => {
const rpc = new NanomessageRPC(socket, opts)
await rpc.open()
rpc.on('ping', () => {
console.log('ping')
})
// from the other rpc socket side
const result = await rpc.emitAsync('ping') // 4
})()
```
And it has support for [nanoerror](https://github.com/geut/nanoerror).
```javascript
import { NanomessageRPC } from 'nanomessage-rpc'
import nanoerror from 'nanoerror'
const BAD_REQUEST = nanoerror('BAD_REQUEST', 'the request %s is wrong')
;(async () => {
const rpc = new NanomessageRPC(socket, opts)
await rpc
.action('badrequest', () => {
throw new BAD_REQUEST(1)
})
.open()
// from the other rpc socket side
try {
const result = await rpc.call('badrequest', { a: 2, b: 2 }) // 4
} catch (err) {
// will throw BAD_REQUEST: the request 1 is wrong
}
})()
```
## API
#### `const rpc = new NanomessageRPC(options)`
Create a new nanomessage-rpc.
Options include:
- `send: (buf: Buffer) => (Promise|undefined)`: Define a hook to specify how to send the data. `Required`.
- `subscribe: (next: function) => UnsubscribeFunction`: Define a handler to listen for incoming messages.
- `timeout: 10000`: Time (ms) to wait for the response of a request.
- `concurrency: { incoming: 256, outgoing: 256 }`: Defines how many requests do you want to run in concurrent.
- `valueEncoding: msgpackr`: Defines an [abstract-encoding](https://github.com/mafintosh/abstract-encoding) to encode/decode messages in nanomessage.
#### `rpc.open() => Promise`
Opens nanomessage and start listening for incoming data.
#### `rpc.close() => Promise`
Closes nanomessage and unsubscribe from incoming data.
#### `rpc.action(actionName, handler)`
Defines a rpc action and handler for incoming requests.
- `actionName: string`: Name of the action.
- `handler: function`: Handler, could be `async`.
#### `rpc.actions(actions)`
Shortcut to define multiple actions.
- `actions: { actionName: handler, ... }`: List of actions.
#### `rpc.call(actionName, data, [opts]) => Promise`
Call an action an wait for the response.
- `actionName: string`: Action name.
- `data: (Buffer|Object|String)`: Request data.
- `opts.timeout: number`: Define a custom timeout for the current request.
- `opts.signal: AbortSignal`: Set an abort signal object to cancel the request.
### Events
#### `rpc.emit(eventName, data, [opts])`
Emit an event in the remote side.
- `actionName: string`: Event name.
- `data: (Buffer|Object|String)`: Event data.
#### `rpc.emitAsync(eventName, data, [opts]) -> Promise`
- `actionName: string`: Event name.
- `data: (Buffer|Object|String)`: Event data.
- `opts.timeout: number`: Define a custom timeout for the current request. Use timeout = 0 to not wait for a response.
- `opts.signal: AbortSignal`: Set an abort signal object to cancel the request.
Emit an event in the remote side and wait for a response.
#### `rpc.on(eventName, handler) => unsubscribe`
Subscribe to a RPC event.
Returns an unsubscribe method.
#### `rpc.once(eventName)`
Subscribe to a RPC event only once. It will be unsubscribed after the first event.
#### `rpc.waitFor(eventName) -> Promise`
Subscribe to a RPC event only once and return a `Promise` to wait for the event.
> Alternative: NanomessageRPC.once(rpc, eventName)
#### `rpc.off(eventName)`
Remove a RPC event subscription.
```
### System events
You can listen for internal events:
- `on('nrpc.open', () => {})`: When the RPC was opened.
- `on('nrpc.opening', () => {})`: When the RPC is opening.
- `on('nrpc.close', () => {})`: When the RPC was closed.
- `on('nrpc.closing', () => {})`: When the RPC is closing.
- `on('nrpc.message', (message, info: RequestInfo) => {})`: When it comes a new message.
- `on('nrpc.error-message', (err, info: RequestInfo) => {})`: When the internal RPC gets an error message.
- `on('nrpc.error-subscribe', (err) => {})`: When the internal RPC gets an error subscription.
- `on('nrpc.error-socket', (err) => {})`: When the internal RPC gets an error socket.
- `on('nrpc.error*', (err) => {})`: Listen for all RPC errors.
