The [meta] framework provides a system for building applications which span across multiple different scenarios.
| Mode | Runtime | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Client | Browser (JavaScript) | Served by server or agent. |
| Server | Node.js | Serves client and handles api requests. |
| Agent | Electron (via Node.js) | Connects to server and optionally serves client. |
| Worker | Node.js | Connects to server and handles long running tasks. |
Client mode is the most basic and is used for Single Page Apps (SPA's). It provides a basic connection to the server via socket.io which allows event based communication.
Server mode is designed to serve the client (in browser) and handle API requests. It is recommended to use workers for long running tasks.
Agent mode combines both client, server and worker modes.
Worker mode is designed for long running tasks, and does not serve any client.
