Bridle: Black magic Javascript RPC

Installation

npm install --save bridle

Bridle allows exporting functions from a Node.js server and then calling them natively from a client (both Node and browsers are supported).

Remote functions will be ran on the server, with communication occurring using WebSocket transport. Local functions will be ran natively on the client as is.

Note: This project exists because it can, not because it should. The author takes no responsibility for any [mis]use.

Usage

Server:

const Bridle = require('bridle');

new Bridle.Server({
    port: 7777,
    localFunctions: {
        foo: () => {
            console.log('bar');
        }
    },
    remoteFunctions: {
        hello: (name) => 'Hello ' + name
    }
});

Client:

import {Client} from 'bridle';

const rpc = new Client();

rpc.connect('ws://localhost:7777')

    .then(functions => {

        functions.foo();

        functions.hello('world!').then(result => {
            console.log(result);
        }).catch(error => {
            console.log(error);
        });
    });
