xrs

Reactive Server

• Allows you to send a stream as input, and return a stream
• You can also return a value, promise or stream
• Client is ~3 kb bundled, built on top of nanosocket. Server is express + uws.
• Allows uploading binary with progress events

Server:

xrs = reqire('xrs')
server = xrs(req => 'ack')
server = xrs(req => Promise.resolve('ack'))
server = xrs(req => stream().on('start', function(){ this.next(1); this.next(2) }))

• You can also use the signature (req, res) if you don't want to return the value.
• You can access the underlying uws , express and http instance on the server.
• For additional options: you pass in { port, certs, processor } instead of just a processor function. Otherwise the port will be random, and no certs will mean you get a HTTP server rather than a HTTPS server.
• The input stream can be accessed via req.on('data')
• The req has the following properties: { id, socket, data, res } - data is what the client sent

Client

send = xrs()
send('value')
send(Promise.resolve('value'))
send(node.on('click').until(node.on('removed')))
  .map(...)
  .filter(...)

You can similarly send a value, promise or stream. send returns a stream of all the server responses. In all cases, you get a sent event on the stream when it's actually sent. When sending binaries you can also associate some metadata, and get a stream of progress events (this is from the end-to-end tests):

const results = []
await send(binary, { foo: 'bar' })
  .on('sent', d => results.push({ type: 'sent', value: d }))
  .on('progress', d => results.push({ type: 'progress', value: d }))
  .map(d => results.push({ type: 'complete', value: d }))
  .filter(d => results.length === 4)

results === [
  { type: 'sent'    , value: { id: '1' } }
, { type: 'progress', value: { received: 1024, total: 2000 } }
, { type: 'progress', value: { received: 2000, total: 2000 } }
, { type: 'complete', value: 'ack' }
]
