Rib-Client

Rib-Client is a client library to access the Rib backend framework. This should be coupled with rib-server to create a simple real-time application. Rib-Client allows you to call server-side functions directly from the client.

Example

let RibClient = require("rib-client").default // or import using the CDN https://unpkg.com/rib-client@[VERSION#]/lib/cdn.js
let myRib = new RibClient()
 
myRib.onConnect(async () => {
    myRib.serverFunctions.logMessage("Runs the logMessage function server side 👨🏻‍💻")
    console.log(await myRib.add(1, 2))
})
 
function sendMSG(msg) {
    console.log(msg)
}
 
myRib.exposeFunctions([sendMSG])   //  allows us to call sendMSG from the server
