rx-expose

RxExpose - Javascript reactive RMI library

The goal of this library is to provide a simple way of communicating with a NodeJS backend. As an alternative to creating REST API's we use ES7 decorators, Websockets and RxJS streams to simply expose backend methods to a client.

Example

server.js - npm run example-server

import Rx from 'rx';
import Server from  '../lib/server/Server'

const server = new Server({port: 8080});

class Users {
  @server.expose
  callMeEverySecond(times) {
    return Rx.Observable.timer(0, 1000).take(times);
  }
}

client.js - npm run example-client

import Client from  '../lib/client/Node';

const client = new Client('ws://localhost:8080');

client
.call('callMeEverySecond', 8)
.subscribe((result) => console.info(result)); // Will output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Used technologies

• ES7 decoraters (through babel and transform-decorators-legacy)
• Websockets (ws)
• RxJS
