Simple Bridge Read File and Hello world Demos

[ashishnegi]

Hello World demo is simple, just creates a socket emit and on for 'hello' and 'world'.

Bridge Read File -> gets a proxy of fs variable of nodejs's require('fs').

Then called readFile function for a demo. It is a very simple bridge.

Wow, so if I read your code correctly you just created a proxy for nodejs objects so you can call them from the browser :-) that is a very nice trick and great idea. Maybe we should add that kind of functionality to the offical deskshell clientApi?

Earlier i had put the code in ClientApi but then thought that lets make the idea bloom in separate demo.

Yes you are right to do it as a separate demo first. It does has potential to go into the clientApi though. Lets play around with the general idea and when we have used it in a couple of applications and determined best practice and way of providing the proxy for objects in the best way then we can add it. By the way the chrome remote debug protocol (used in chrome developer tools) uses exactly the same approach, so these proxy objects with communication over websocket is a very powerful approach.
