browser-rpc-swarm
Give control of your browser over RPC to another in a discovery swarm. This module uses rpc-protocol and webrtc-swarm to discovery peers and initiate a RPC channel.
Installation
$ npm install browser-rpc-swarm
Usage
const signalhub = const swarm = const key = '626d55ffe6eafc13e32309ca4985b83cf15c0c015e6ba8f32dcebed2a50e0c27'const hub = const rpc = rpc rpc
API
rpc = require('browser-rpc-swarm')(signalhub, opts)
where signalhub
is a
signalhub instance and opts
is passed directly to
webrtc-swarm.
rpc.command(name, callback)
Create a named command with a callback function to resolve a response to the caller.
// A simple 'echo' command that simply returns the value given to itrpc
rpc.command(manifest)
Create several commands described by an object with functions that are callbacks to resolve a response to the caller.
rpc
rpc.destroy()
An alias to to rpc.close()
rpc.close(callback)
Close the RPC channel and all of its resources.
rpc.on('peer', peer)
Emitted when a peer connection has been established and a command manifest has been exchanged. Commands are attached directly to the instance and can be called like normal functions. They return promises that resolve when the peer replying to command issues a response.
Consider a command called echo()
that a peer defines in their
manifest. The command simply returns the input argument given to it.
rpc
The caller for this command can call this command after peer discovery like a normal function.
