Minirpc NPM | npm.io

THIS MODULE IS OLD AND DEPRECATED. I RECOMMEND YOU USE AN ALTERNATIVE SUCH AS https://github.com/substack/dnode

Using with connect

On the Server

rpc = new require('minirpc').RPC

# simple
rpc.sum = (a, b) -> a + b

# you can access current HTTP request ( available as rpc._request )
rpc.get_header = (header_name) ->
  rpc._request.headers[header_name]

# async? no problem, just return a function that takes a callback(res, err) as argument
rpc.get_weather = ( zip_code ) -> 
  ( cb ) ->
    some_remote_service zip_code, true, (res) -> cb null, res

# if you're using express/connect
app.use rpc._middleware()

On The Client

<!-- Will dynamically create proxies for every method attached to rpc -->
<script src="/___minirpc.js"></script>
<script>
  ___minirpc.sum 1, 2, (res) ->
    console.log "1 + 2 = #{res}"
</script>
