web3-stream-provider

Utility for creating an Ethereum web3 provider that forwards payloads through a stream. Only works for async payloads.

For connecting to a remote eth rpc handler

const StreamProvider = require('web3-stream-provider')

var streamProvider = new StreamProvider()
var web3 = new Web3(streamProvider)

streamProvider.pipe(remoteRpcHandler).pipe(streamProvider)

For handling incoming rpc payloads

const handleRequestsFromStream = require('web3-stream-provider/handler')

handleRequestsFromStream(remoteStream, provider, /* optional */ onRequest, onResponse)

function onRequest(request){
  // can modify the request if needed
  console.log(arguments)
}

function onResponse(err, request, response){
  console.log(arguments)
}
