# TAP [](https://travis-ci.org/icholy/Tap.js)
> Transport Agnostic Object Proxy
**worker.js**
``` javascript
// Some object with methods (could be a class)
var obj = {
x: 0,
foo: function () {
this.x++;
},
bar: function (callback) {
callback(this.x);
},
baz: function () {
return this.x;
}
};
// create the tap class
var Remote = Tap.remote();
// create a Remote instance wrapping the obj
var remote = new Remote(obj);
// events can be sent in either direction
var console = {
log: function () {
var msg = Array.prototype.join.call(arguments, " ");
remote.send("console", msg);
}
};
```
**main.js**
``` javascript
// create the worker
var worker = new Worker("worker.js");
// create deferred function (optional)
var makeDeferred = Q.defer.bind(Q);
// create Tap class
var Local = Tap.local(worker, makeDeferred);
// create Tap instance
var local = new Local();
// register methods available on remote object
local.methods("foo", "bar", "baz");
// invoke methods
local.foo();
// callbacks are handled automagically
// Note: they only work for 1 invocation
local.bar(function (x) {
console.log("x:", x);
});
// invcations return promises which resolve to the invoked function's return value
// this will only work if a makeDeferred function was provided to the factory
local.baz().then(function (x) {
console.log("x:", x);
});
// receive events
local.on(
"console",
console.log.bind(console, "worker:")
);
```
