procnet

Procnet

A remote provider built for use with pogostick (although you could use a different rpc library).

Define Services

Seperate network code from your service definition.

// For example a `math` service
module.exports = procnet.service(function() {
	return {
		add: function(a, b) {
			return a + b;
		},
		multiply: function(a, b) {
			return a * b;
		}
	}
});

Compose Services

// An example `rectangle` service.
module.exports = procnet.service(['math'], function(math) {
	return {
		surface: function(h, w) {
			return math.multiply(h, w);
		}
	};
});

Unit Test Services

One of the benefit of seperating your logic this way is the way it permits you to unit test your services, mocking dependencies.

// You can pick any promise library you want, just need to provide a factory function.
var mock = procnet.mocker(promiseFactory);
var mocked = mock({ 
	math: {
		// Our fake multiply always returns 1 instead
		multiply: function() { return 1; }
	} 
}, rectangle);

mocked
	.surface(2, 2)
	.then(function(r) {
		assert.equal(r, 1);
	});
