Install

npm install --save @delight-rpc/child-process
# or
yarn add @delight-rpc/child-process

Usage

Main as Client, ChildProcess as Server

// api.d.ts
interface IAPI {
  echo(message: string): string
}

// child-process.ts
import { createServer } from '@delight-rpc/child-process'

const api: IAPI = {
  echo(message: string): string {
    return message
  }
}

createServer(api, process)

// main.ts
import { fork } from 'child_process'
import { createClient } from '@delight-rpc/child-process'

const childProcess = fork('./child-process.js', { serialization: 'advanced' })
const [client] = createClient<IAPI>(childProcess)

await client.echo('hello world')

ChildProcess as Client, Main as Server

// api.d.ts
interface IAPI {
  echo(message: string): string
}

// main.ts
import { fork } from 'child_process'
import { createServer } from '@delight-rpc/child-process'

const api: IAPI = {
  echo(message: string): string {
    return message
  }
}

const childProcess = fork('./child-process.js', { serialization: 'advanced' })
createServer(api, childProcess)

// child-process.ts
import { createClient } from '@delight-rpc/child-process'

const [client] = createClient<IAPI>(process)
await client.echo('hello world')
