API

raptor(uri)

Returns a new Client connected to the specific uri.

Event: notification

The server has sent a notification to us.

Client#send(method[, params]) => Promise<any>

Send a request to the server. Returns a promise of the result from the server.

If an error response is returned from the sever, the promise will reject with an error that has .rpcCode and .rpcData populated from the response.

Client#notify(method[, params]) => Promise<void>

Send a notification to the server. Returns a promise that will resolve when the notification has been sent to server.

The promise will only reject if there is a network problem, since a server cannot respond to a notification.
