MelfShare

(A)Synchronous remote references based on melf.

{serialize, instantiate, ownerof, discard} = require("melf-share")(melf, {synchronous, namespace})

• melf :: melf.Melf
• synchronous :: boolean | undefined
• namespace :: string | undefined
• alias = ownerof(value)
  • value :: object | symbol
  • alias :: string
• success = discard(value)
  • value :: object | symbol
  • success :: boolean
• data = serialize(value, hint)
  • value :: *
  • hint :: Hint
  • data :: JSON
• value = instantiate(data)
  • data :: JSON
  • value :: *

Hints

• Primitive: Serialize any value, the value of the primitive is for documentation only. After instantiation:
  • non-symbolic primitives: will refer to the same value (undefined, NaN, +Infinity, -Infinity, -0 are supported).
  • well-known and global symbol: will refer the local corresponding well-known/global symbol.
  • other symbols: will refer to a dedicated symbol with the same string representation.
  • objects: will refer to a dedicated proxy whose traps forward operations to the serializing process.
• Array of hint: The elements of a hint-array are hints which will be used to convert the corresponding element of the given value. Instantiation will result to a new local array.
• Object of hint: The properties of a hint-object are hints which will be used to convert the corresponding properties of the given value. Instantiation will result in a new local object.
