What is BothIO?

Simply, it's a library based on the CQS-Princip, where your methods are separated by commands and queries.

What BothIO makes so special is the NodeJS/Client-Support, so you can execute your commands and queries from your node-side as well as from your client-side.

Example

 
var myToDoList = [];
 
// # Define a Command
// Server:
both.command('CreateTodo', function(name, payload, callback){
  myToDoList.push(payload.todoName);
});
 
// Execute a Command
// Client:
both('CreateTodo', {
  todoName: 'eat some chocolate'
});
 
 
// Listen to a defined Command
// Server:
both.on('CreateTodo', function(name, payload){
  console.log('Todo Created:', payload.todoName);
});
 
// Listen to all Commands
// Client:
both.on(function(commandName, payload){
  console.log('The command', commandName, 'was executed!');
  console.log('with the payload:', payload);
});
 
 
// # Add a Callback
// Server:
both.query('GetAllTodos', function(name, payload, callback){
  someDatabase.query('getAllTodos', function(todos){
    callback(todos);
  });
});
 
// Client:
both('GetAllTodos', {}, function(todos){
  // Use Todos at the client
})
 

And there's something more planed
