Built using [Socket.io](https://socket.io/). ### _**Installation**_ - Install using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ovistek/rpc-net) ```console npm install @ovistek/rpc-net ``` ### _**Usage**_ Define server-side code using the following snippet and call it `server.js` ```javascript const { ServerRPC } = require("@ovistek/rpc-net"); // host a local server on port 3000 const server = new ServerRPC(); server.connect(3000); // define a local function on the server // this will be called by the client server.local.sayHello = (append) => { return "Server Says " + append; }; ``` Define client-side code using the following snippet and call it `client.js` ```javascript const { ClientRPC } = require("@ovistek/rpc-net"); const client = new ClientRPC(); // connect to a hosted local server on port 3000 client.connect("http://localhost", 3000); // call a pre-defined function on the remote server client.remote.sayHello("Hello World!").then((value) => { console.log(value); }).catch((err) => { console.error(err); }); ``` - Run the server via `node server.js` - Run the client via `node client.js` Output should be `Server Says Hello World!` ### _**Acknowledgements**_ This tool relies on the following open source projects. - [Socket.io](https://socket.io/)
