What is thrift?

The thrift npm package is a JavaScript implementation of the Apache Thrift framework, which is used for scalable cross-language services development. Thrift allows you to define data types and service interfaces in a simple definition file, and it generates code to be used across multiple languages. This makes it easier to build and maintain services that communicate across different programming languages.

What are thrift's main functionalities?

Defining a Thrift Service

This code demonstrates how to define a Thrift service in Node.js. The service is defined in a Thrift IDL file, which is then compiled to generate the necessary JavaScript files. The server listens on port 9090 and implements a method called `myMethod`.

const thrift = require('thrift');
const MyService = require('./gen-nodejs/MyService');
const ttypes = require('./gen-nodejs/my_types');

const server = thrift.createServer(MyService, {
  myMethod: function(arg, result) {
    console.log('myMethod called with:', arg);
    result(null, 'response');
  }
});

server.listen(9090);

Creating a Thrift Client

This code demonstrates how to create a Thrift client in Node.js. The client connects to the Thrift server running on localhost at port 9090 and calls the `myMethod` function, passing an argument and handling the response.

const thrift = require('thrift');
const MyService = require('./gen-nodejs/MyService');

const connection = thrift.createConnection('localhost', 9090);
const client = thrift.createClient(MyService, connection);

client.myMethod('argument', (err, response) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Response:', response);
  }
  connection.end();
});

Defining Thrift Data Types

This Thrift IDL file defines a data structure `MyStruct` and a service `MyService` with a method `myMethod` that takes `MyStruct` as an argument. This file is used to generate the necessary code for both the client and server.

namespace js MyService

struct MyStruct {
  1: i32 id,
  2: string name
}

service MyService {
  string myMethod(1: MyStruct myStruct)
}
