AMQP RPC Client

This is an implementation of an AMQP RPC client using JSON-RPC 2.0. This client connects to AMQP Servers preferably launched with micro-node-launcher.

Usage

var client = require('micro-node-client')('127.0.0.1', 'rpc_queue')

With this code snippet the client will connect to a server listening on '127.0.0.1' using the queue named rpc_queue. The client will imitate the server service as much as possible. That means if the server was created with an module of this shape

module.exports = {
    
    foo: function(cb){...}
       
    value: 'value',
    
    deep: {
    
        bar: function(cb){...}
    
    }
}

the client will have exactly the same shape with the only difference that the method are now remotely executed wich is totally invisible to the user.

client.deep.bar(function(err, result){

    console.log(result);
}};

In addition to that static values are directly accessible without the need of a request.

assert(client.value, 'value'); // this is true

How it works

Upon initialisation the client will trigger a single sync request to the server for the internal method rpc.definition to get the shape and definition on the service. This information is then used to create this intelligent client.

Requirements

• NodeJS
