@ceramicnetwork/rpc-transport

RPC transport

Bridge between transports and RPC utilities

Installation

npm install @ceramicnetwork/rpc-transport

Usage

import { createClient, serve } from '@ceramicnetwork/rpc-transport'

// Methods type shared between the client and server
type Methods = {
  foo: { result: string }
}

// Using requests and responses subjects here or demonstration purposes only
const requests = new Subject<RPCRequest<Methods, keyof Methods>>()
const responses = new Subject<RPCResponse<Methods, keyof Methods>>()
const clientTransport = new TransportSubject(responses, requests)
const serverTransport = new TransportSubject(requests, responses)

// Start server handling methods on given transport
const server = serve<null, Methods>(serverTransport, null, {
  foo: () => 'bar',
})

class TestClient {
  constructor(transport: TransportSubject) {
    this.client = createClient<Methods>(transport)
  }

  async foo() {
    return await this.client.request('foo')
  }
}

const client = new TestClient()
await client.foo() // 'bar'

// Stop server when done
server.unsubscribe()
