kamote

A simple, fast RPC for Node.

Install

$ npm install kamote --save

Installing the latest version

$ npm install git+https://github.com/majimboo/kamote.git

Server

To create a new server:

var kamote = require('kamote');
var server = new kamote.Server();

Events:

• error - When an error occurs.

Methods:

• add([name, ]function) - Adds a function to be exposed over RPC.
• listen(port[, host] - Binds the server to the specified endpoint.

Full example:

var kamote = require('kamote');
var server = new kamote.Server();

server.add('plusOne', function (n, result) {
    result(n + 1);
});

server.listen(9456);

You can also use the context style:

function plusOne(n, result) {
    result(n + 1);
}

var server = new kamote.Server();
server.listen(6123);
server.def({
    plusOne: plusOne
});

Client

To create a new client:

var kamote = require('kamote');
var client = new kamote.Client();

Events:

• error - When an error occurs.
• connect - When the socket has connected to the server.
• disconnect - When disconnected from the server.
• ready - When all the remote functions has been loaded.

Methods:

• connect(port[, host]) - Connects to the remote host:port.
• reconnect(port[, host]) - Connects to the remote host:port and retries if unable.

Full example:

var kamote = require('kamote');
var client = new kamote.Client();

client.plusOne(100, function(result) {
    console.log(result); // 101
});

client.reconnect(9456);
