## Installation
```bash ```bash
npm install @push.rocks/smartipc --save pnpm add @push.rocks/smartipc
# or
npm install @push.rocks/smartipc
``` ```
This command adds `@push.rocks/smartipc` to your project's dependencies. ## Quick Start
## Usage ### Simple TCP Server & Client
`@push.rocks/smartipc` simplifies inter-process communication (IPC) in Node.js applications, wrapping the complexity of IPC setup into an easy-to-use API. It supports both server and client roles within IPC, allowing processes to communicate with each other efficiently. Below, you'll find comprehensive guides and examples to quickly incorporate `smartipc` into your Node.js projects.
### Getting Started
First, import `SmartIpc` from `@push.rocks/smartipc` in your TypeScript file:
```typescript ```typescript
import { SmartIpc } from '@push.rocks/smartipc'; import { SmartIpc } from '@push.rocks/smartipc';
// Create a server
const server = SmartIpc.createServer({
id: 'my-service',
host: 'localhost',
port: 9876
});
// Handle incoming messages
server.onMessage('hello', async (data, clientId) => {
console.log(`Client ${clientId} says:`, data);
return { response: 'Hello back!' };
});
await server.start();
// Create a client
const client = SmartIpc.createClient({
id: 'my-service',
host: 'localhost',
port: 9876,
clientId: 'client-1'
});
await client.connect();
// Send a message and get response
const response = await client.request('hello', { message: 'Hi server!' });
console.log('Server responded:', response);
``` ```
### Setting Up a Server ## Core Concepts
To set up an IPC server, create an instance of `SmartIpc` with the type set to `'server'`. Define a unique `ipcSpace` name, which serves as the namespace for your IPC communication. ### Transport Types
SmartIPC supports multiple transport mechanisms, automatically selecting the best one for your platform:
```typescript ```typescript
const serverIpc = new SmartIpc({ // TCP Socket (cross-platform, network-capable)
type: 'server', const tcpServer = SmartIpc.createServer({
ipcSpace: 'myUniqueIpcSpace', id: 'tcp-service',
host: 'localhost',
port: 9876
});
// Unix Domain Socket (Linux/macOS, fastest local IPC)
const unixServer = SmartIpc.createServer({
id: 'unix-service',
socketPath: '/tmp/my-app.sock'
});
// Windows Named Pipe (Windows optimal)
const pipeServer = SmartIpc.createServer({
id: 'pipe-service',
pipeName: 'my-app-pipe'
}); });
``` ```
#### Registering Handlers ### Message Patterns
Before starting your server, register message handlers. These handlers listen for specific keywords and execute corresponding functions when messages arrive. #### 🔥 Fire and Forget
Fast, one-way messaging when you don't need a response:
```typescript ```typescript
serverIpc.registerHandler({ // Server
keyword: 'greeting', server.onMessage('log', (data, clientId) => {
handlerFunc: (dataArg: string) => { console.log(`[${clientId}]:`, data.message);
console.log(`Received greeting: ${dataArg}`); // No return value needed
}, });
// Client
await client.sendMessage('log', {
message: 'User logged in',
timestamp: Date.now()
}); });
``` ```
#### Starting the Server #### 📞 Request/Response
RPC-style communication with timeouts and type safety:
```typescript ```typescript
(async () => { // Server - Define your handler with types
await serverIpc.start(); interface CalculateRequest {
console.log('IPC Server started!'); operation: 'add' | 'multiply';
})(); values: number[];
}
interface CalculateResponse {
result: number;
computedAt: number;
}
server.onMessage<CalculateRequest, CalculateResponse>('calculate', async (data) => {
const result = data.operation === 'add'
? data.values.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0)
: data.values.reduce((a, b) => a * b, 1);
return {
result,
computedAt: Date.now()
};
});
// Client - Type-safe request
const response = await client.request<CalculateRequest, CalculateResponse>(
'calculate',
{ operation: 'add', values: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] },
{ timeout: 5000 }
);
console.log(`Sum is ${response.result}`);
``` ```
### Setting Up a Client #### 📢 Pub/Sub Pattern
Topic-based message broadcasting:
Setting up a client is similar to setting up a server. Create a `SmartIpc` instance with the type set to `'client'` and use the same `ipcSpace` name used for the server.
```typescript ```typescript
const clientIpc = new SmartIpc({ // Server automatically handles subscriptions
type: 'client', const publisher = SmartIpc.createClient({
ipcSpace: 'myUniqueIpcSpace', id: 'events-service',
clientId: 'publisher'
});
const subscriber1 = SmartIpc.createClient({
id: 'events-service',
clientId: 'subscriber-1'
});
const subscriber2 = SmartIpc.createClient({
id: 'events-service',
clientId: 'subscriber-2'
});
// Subscribe to topics
await subscriber1.subscribe('user.login', (data) => {
console.log('User logged in:', data);
});
await subscriber2.subscribe('user.*', (data) => {
console.log('User event:', data);
});
// Publish events
await publisher.publish('user.login', {
userId: '123',
timestamp: Date.now()
}); });
``` ```
#### Starting the Client ## Advanced Features
### 🔄 Auto-Reconnection with Exponential Backoff
Clients automatically reconnect on connection loss:
```typescript ```typescript
(async () => { const client = SmartIpc.createClient({
await clientIpc.start(); id: 'resilient-service',
console.log('IPC Client connected!'); clientId: 'auto-reconnect-client',
})(); reconnect: {
``` enabled: true,
initialDelay: 1000, // Start with 1 second
### Sending Messages maxDelay: 30000, // Cap at 30 seconds
factor: 2, // Double each time
Once the client and server are set up and running, you can send messages using `sendMessage`. Specify the message identifier and the message content. The server will receive this message and process it using the registered handler. maxAttempts: Infinity // Keep trying forever
```typescript
// From the client
clientIpc.sendMessage('greeting', 'Hello from the client!');
```
### Clean Up
It's a good practice to gracefully stop the IPC server and client when they're no longer needed.
```typescript
// Stopping the client
(async () => {
await clientIpc.stop();
console.log('IPC Client disconnected!');
})();
// Stopping the server
(async () => {
await serverIpc.stop();
console.log('IPC Server stopped!');
})();
```
### Advanced Usage
#### Handling JSON Messages
While `@push.rocks/smartipc` allows sending strings directly, you might often need to send structured data. The `sendMessage` method can handle objects by converting them to JSON strings before sending.
```typescript
// Sending an object from the client
clientIpc.sendMessage('data', { key: 'value' });
// Server handler for 'data'
serverIpc.registerHandler({
keyword: 'data',
handlerFunc: (dataArg: string) => {
const dataObject = JSON.parse(dataArg);
console.log(dataObject.key); // Outputs: value
},
});
```
#### Error Handling
Always include error handling in production applications to manage unexpected scenarios, such as disconnection or message parsing errors.
```typescript
// Example of adding error handling to the server start process
(async () => {
try {
await serverIpc.start();
console.log('IPC Server started!');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to start IPC Server:', error);
} }
})(); });
// Monitor connection state
client.on('connected', () => console.log('Connected! 🟢'));
client.on('disconnected', () => console.log('Connection lost! 🔴'));
client.on('reconnecting', (attempt) => console.log(`Reconnecting... Attempt ${attempt} 🟡`));
``` ```
### Conclusion ### 💓 Heartbeat Monitoring
Integrating `@push.rocks/smartipc` into your Node.js applications streamlines the process of setting up IPC for inter-process communication. Through the examples provided, you've seen how to configure both servers and clients, register message handlers, send messages, and incorporate error handling. With `smartipc`, you can facilitate robust communication channels between different parts of your application, enhancing modularity and process isolation. Keep connections alive and detect failures quickly:
For further information and advanced configuration options, refer to the `@push.rocks/smartipc` documentation. ```typescript
const server = SmartIpc.createServer({
id: 'monitored-service',
heartbeat: {
enabled: true,
interval: 5000, // Send heartbeat every 5 seconds
timeout: 15000 // Consider dead after 15 seconds
}
});
// Clients automatically respond to heartbeats
const client = SmartIpc.createClient({
id: 'monitored-service',
clientId: 'heartbeat-client',
heartbeat: true // Enable heartbeat responses
});
```
### 📊 Real-time Metrics & Observability
Track performance and connection health:
```typescript
// Server metrics
const serverStats = server.getStats();
console.log({
isRunning: serverStats.isRunning,
connectedClients: serverStats.connectedClients,
totalConnections: serverStats.totalConnections,
uptime: serverStats.uptime,
metrics: {
messagesSent: serverStats.metrics.messagesSent,
messagesReceived: serverStats.metrics.messagesReceived,
bytesSent: serverStats.metrics.bytesSent,
bytesReceived: serverStats.metrics.bytesReceived,
errors: serverStats.metrics.errors
}
});
// Client metrics
const clientStats = client.getStats();
console.log({
connected: clientStats.connected,
reconnectAttempts: clientStats.reconnectAttempts,
lastActivity: clientStats.lastActivity,
metrics: clientStats.metrics
});
// Track specific clients on server
const clientInfo = server.getClientInfo('client-1');
console.log({
clientId: clientInfo.clientId,
metadata: clientInfo.metadata,
connectedAt: clientInfo.connectedAt,
lastActivity: clientInfo.lastActivity,
subscriptions: clientInfo.subscriptions
});
```
### 🛡️ Security & Limits
Protect against malicious or misbehaving clients:
```typescript
const secureServer = SmartIpc.createServer({
id: 'secure-service',
maxMessageSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB max message size
maxConnections: 100, // Limit concurrent connections
connectionTimeout: 60000, // Drop idle connections after 1 minute
// Authentication (coming soon)
auth: {
required: true,
validator: async (token) => {
// Validate auth token
return validateToken(token);
}
}
});
// Rate limiting per client
secureServer.use(rateLimitMiddleware({
windowMs: 60000, // 1 minute window
max: 100 // 100 requests per window
}));
```
### 🎯 Broadcast to Specific Clients
Send targeted messages:
```typescript
// Broadcast to all connected clients
server.broadcast('system-alert', {
message: 'Maintenance in 5 minutes'
});
// Send to specific client
server.sendToClient('client-1', 'personal-message', {
content: 'This is just for you'
});
// Send to multiple specific clients
server.sendToClients(['client-1', 'client-2'], 'group-message', {
content: 'Group notification'
});
// Get all connected client IDs
const clients = server.getConnectedClients();
console.log('Connected clients:', clients);
```
## Error Handling
Comprehensive error handling with typed errors:
```typescript
import { IpcError, ConnectionError, TimeoutError } from '@push.rocks/smartipc';
// Client error handling
client.on('error', (error) => {
if (error instanceof ConnectionError) {
console.error('Connection failed:', error.message);
} else if (error instanceof TimeoutError) {
console.error('Request timed out:', error.message);
} else {
console.error('Unknown error:', error);
}
});
// Server error handling
server.on('client-error', (clientId, error) => {
console.error(`Client ${clientId} error:`, error);
// Optionally disconnect misbehaving clients
if (error.code === 'INVALID_MESSAGE') {
server.disconnectClient(clientId);
}
});
// Request with error handling
try {
const response = await client.request('risky-operation', data, {
timeout: 5000,
retries: 3
});
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof TimeoutError) {
// Handle timeout
} else {
// Handle other errors
}
}
```
## Testing
SmartIPC includes comprehensive testing utilities:
```typescript
import { createTestServer, createTestClient } from '@push.rocks/smartipc/testing';
describe('My IPC integration', () => {
let server, client;
beforeEach(async () => {
server = await createTestServer();
client = await createTestClient(server);
});
afterEach(async () => {
await client.disconnect();
await server.stop();
});
it('should handle messages', async () => {
server.onMessage('test', (data) => ({ echo: data }));
const response = await client.request('test', { value: 42 });
expect(response.echo.value).toBe(42);
});
});
```
## Performance Benchmarks
