Project Roadmap

stream subscribtion

For now the lib only implements static events, while this behavior is ok for large scale applications, it still lacks simpilicity.

The streams should work as simple as

client.subscribe(toWhat, withWhat, (forWhat): void);

(external) proxy / service composition

Not sure if it should be in this lib, but maybe.

Implement proxies capabilites, so lets say central rpc could directly forward a set of methods/streams/events directly into a ordering rpc

Perhaps it worth of doing some sort of scheme proxifing, so the central scheme could extend ordering rpc scheme while proxifing all the handlers it needs directly into some otheng rpc.

some code example

const ordering = { /* ordering rpc connection */ };
centralServer.forward({
    prefix: 'ordering',
    client: ordering,
    scheme: OrderingScheme
});

Internal io-ts bindings

For now, the user has to install io-ts manually, as well to implement a lot of boilerplate stuff like optional types, errors, etc.

import { Method, types } from 'rpc-with-types';

const ServerError = types.oneOf("VALIDATION_ERROR", "SERVER_ERROR");

export default {
    greet: Method.new('greet', types.string, types.result(types.string, ServerError));
};

Better flexibility

Make the lib more hackable and tweakable.

Other protocols outside of ws

Support raw unix/tcp sockets.

Support for http embedding into express/etc.

(external) cli utils

For now only two utils: cli client and a mitm cli proxy
