Laplax

A Node.js http/1.0 multithreaded framework with a basic IPC.

Features

1. Full intellisense support.
2. Built-in IPC support.

Getting started

Basic Usage

const Laplax = require('laplax')
 
const m = new Laplax.Master()
m.get('/', ({ req, res }) => {
  res.write('Hello!')
})
 
m.listen(8000)

More Advanced Routing

const { Master, sendMessage } = require('laplax')
 
/* Accepts a list of commands to run before initializing the server */
const master = new Master([
  'npm run build'
])
master.enslave('GET', '/', async ({ res }) => {
  /* Sends a message to the master process in order to get/update the state */
  const { name } = await sendMessage(process, {
    workerId: process.env['workerId'],
    msgs: [
      {
        type: 'update',
        key: 'name',
        payload: 'Jon Snow',
      }
    ]
  })
  
  res.write(`You know nothing ${name}`)
  return {
    continue: false,
  }
})
master.listen(8000)

Known issues

1. EventEmitter memory leak in sendMessage when overloaded with requests. Event listeners are cleared anyway, so it's not such a big issue.
