`const rpc = new RPC(opts)`

Accepts a transport stream and creates an instance that can handle both incoming Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) and generates corresponding instance methods for outgoing RPCs.

Options

stream <Duplex> - the transport stream
methods <Array... String|{ name: <String>, stream: <Boolean(false)>, send: <Boolean(false)> }> - an index of method descriptions. The order of methods (and their settings) must be consistent across all RPC instances using the same method set. The index of a method in the array is that methods uint identifier. ['myMethod'] and [{name: 'myMethod'}] are equivalent. Generated methods default to being request-based (stream:false and send:false). Setting send: true will generate a fire-and-forget method. Setting stream: true will generate a method that returns a Streamx stream response. For more complex cases, the api option can be used to wrap define the instance method.
api { [name]: (method) => (params) => <Stream|Promise|Any> } - Define outgoing methods on the RPC instance. Property names on the api object matching names in the methods array will be used to generate instance methods if provided. A tiny-buffer-rpc method object will be passed. Call any/all of method.request method.send or method.createRequestStream and make any other calls or alterations as needed.
handlers - { [name]: (params) => <Stream|Promise|Any> } - Handle incoming calls. Property names on the handlers object matching names in the methods array passed the incoming params object. It is up to the handler to return the correct response for that method.
