What is @achrinza/node-ipc?

@achrinza/node-ipc is a Node.js package that facilitates inter-process communication (IPC) between Node.js processes. It supports various communication methods, including Unix sockets, TCP, and UDP, making it versatile for different IPC needs.

What are @achrinza/node-ipc's main functionalities?

Unix Socket Communication

This feature allows for communication between processes using Unix sockets. The server listens for messages and responds, while the client sends a message and listens for a response.

const ipc = require('@achrinza/node-ipc');

ipc.config.id = 'hello';
ipc.config.retry = 1500;

ipc.serve(() => {
  ipc.server.on('message', (data, socket) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
    ipc.server.emit(socket, 'message', 'Hello from server');
  });
});

ipc.server.start();

// Client
ipc.connectTo('hello', () => {
  ipc.of.hello.on('connect', () => {
    ipc.of.hello.emit('message', 'Hello from client');
  });

  ipc.of.hello.on('message', (data) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
  });
});

TCP Communication

This feature enables communication over TCP. The server listens on a specified port and handles messages, while the client connects to the server and exchanges messages.

const ipc = require('@achrinza/node-ipc');

ipc.config.id = 'world';
ipc.config.retry = 1500;
ipc.config.networkPort = 8000;

ipc.serveNet(() => {
  ipc.server.on('message', (data, socket) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
    ipc.server.emit(socket, 'message', 'Hello from TCP server');
  });
});

ipc.server.start();

// Client
ipc.connectToNet('world', 8000, () => {
  ipc.of.world.on('connect', () => {
    ipc.of.world.emit('message', 'Hello from TCP client');
  });

  ipc.of.world.on('message', (data) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
  });
});

UDP Communication

This feature allows for communication over UDP. The server listens on a specified port and handles messages, while the client connects to the server and exchanges messages.

const ipc = require('@achrinza/node-ipc');

ipc.config.id = 'udp';
ipc.config.retry = 1500;
ipc.config.networkPort = 8001;
ipc.config.networkHost = 'localhost';

ipc.serveUDP(() => {
  ipc.server.on('message', (data, socket) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
    ipc.server.emit(socket, 'message', 'Hello from UDP server');
  });
});

ipc.server.start();

// Client
ipc.connectToUDP('udp', 8001, 'localhost', () => {
  ipc.of.udp.on('connect', () => {
    ipc.of.udp.emit('message', 'Hello from UDP client');
  });

  ipc.of.udp.on('message', (data) => {
    console.log('Received message:', data);
  });
});
