Simple RPC for NodeJS and Webix UI

### How to install

```
npm install webix-remote
```

### How to use

#### On server side
```js
var remote = require("webix-remote");
var api = remote.server();

api.setMethod("add", function(a,b){
return a+b;
});

api.setMethod("helpers", {
add: (a,b) => a+b,
mul: (a,b) => a*b
});

express.use("/api", api.express());
```

#### On client side

```html

webix.remote.sum(1,2).then(result){
console.log(result);
});

//or in the sync way
var sum = webix.remote.sum(1,2).sync();

```

#### Special parameters

- $req - request object

```js
api.setMethod("add", function(a,b,$req){
return a+b+$req.session.userBonus;
});
//on client - webix.remote.add(1,2);
```

#### Adding static data

You can define some static data which will be available on client side. It is a good place for session data, which need to be shared with a client-side code.

Warning - the data generation method will be called only once, during the api initialization.

```js
//server
api.setData("$user", function($req){
return $req.user.id;
});

//client
var user = webix.remote.$user;
```

#### API access levels

You can limit api to user's with defined access level.

```js
//only user with 'admin' role will be able to call the method
api.setMethod("admin@add", function(a,b){
return a+b;
});
```

Access level is defined in next way

- all methods withouth access modificator is allowed by default
- if req.session.user exists, methods with "user" modificator is allowed
- if req.session.user.role exists, methods with role modification is allowed

```js
//req.session = { user: { role:"admin,levelB"}}

api.setMethod("user@add1", (a,b) => a+b ); //allowed
api.setMethod("admin@add2", (a,b) => a+b ); //allowed
api.setMethod("levelC@add3", (a,b) => a+b ); //blocked
```

You can define your custom logic though

```js
api.$access = function(){
return {
user : !!req.user,
admin: req.user && req.user.id == 1
};
};
```
