Modern JsonRPC implementation

SimpleRPC

This is an implementation of a JsonRPC client. It's especially simple in es7 because it utilizes the new async/await pattern, in es5/6 it works using promises

Example

ES7

import simplerpc from "simplerpc" //import the lib

var api = simplerpc("ws://127.0.0.1:1234"); //connect to a JsonRPC server and get an object to act as the API

api.UpdateCurrentUsers = (num) => { //expose a method the server can call
	document.querySelector("#currentusers").innerText = num;
}

var data = await api.SomeMethod("arg1", 2, 3); //call any method the server exposes and await its result
console.log(data);

ES5

var simplerpc = require("simplerpc") //import the lib

var api = simplerpc("ws://127.0.0.1:1234"); //connect to a JsonRPC server and get an object to act as the API

api.UpdateCurrentUsers = function(num) { //expose a method the server can call
	document.querySelector("#currentusers").innerText = num;
}

api.SomeMethod("arg1", 2, 3).then(function(data) { //call any method the server exposes and act once it returns
	console.log(data);
});
