Variable number of args and kwargs for handler functions

[michaelimfeld]

Hi

I couldn't find anything about this in the docs:
Does this library support a variable number of args and kwargs for a handler function?

Example:

@dispatcher.add_method
def foobar(*args, **kwargs):
    return kwargs["foo"] + kwargs["bar"] + args[0]

@michaelimfeld it does support a variable number of arguments, however, with slightly different approach. JSON-RPC standard allows arguments of the function to be sent either as list or dictionary, but not as a mix of them. This library follows the standard and does not allow both *args and **kwargs at the same time. There is a workaround in your case, args could be extra key of kwargs:

@dispatcher.add_method
def foobar(**kwargs):
    return kwargs["foo"] + kwargs["bar"] + kwargs["args"][0]

Payload in this case would have params value:

{"foo": 1, "bar": 2, "args": [3]}

Does it work?

Yes, works!
