Class: RJR::Nodes::WS

Inherits:
RJR::Node show all
Defined in:
lib/rjr/nodes/ws.rb

Overview

Web socket node definition, listen for and invoke json-rpc requests via web sockets

Clients should specify the hostname / port when listening for and invoking requests.

note the RJR javascript client also supports sending / receiving json-rpc messages over web sockets

Examples:

Listening for json-rpc requests over tcp

# initialize node
server = RJR::Nodes::WS.new :node_id => 'server', :host => 'localhost', :port => '7777'

# register rjr dispatchers (see RJR::Dispatcher)
server.dispatcher.handle('hello') do |name|
  "Hello #{name}!"
end

# listen, and block
server.listen
server.join

Invoking json-rpc requests over web sockets using rjr

client = RJR::Nodes::WS.new :node_id => 'client'
puts client.invoke_request('ws://localhost:7777', 'hello', 'mo')

Constructor Details

#initialize(args = {}) ⇒ WS

WS initializer

Options Hash (args):

  • :host (String) —

    the hostname/ip which to listen on

  • :port (Integer) —

    the port which to listen on

Instance Method Details

#invoke(uri, rpc_method, *args) ⇒ Object

Instructs node to send rpc request, and wait for / return response

Implementation of RJR::Node#invoke

Do not invoke directly from em event loop or callback as will block the message subscription used to receive responses
