I have a simple library, levelnet<https://github.com/bpostlethwaite/levelnet>,
that takes an API and reproduces it remotely using
mux-demux<https://github.com/dominictarr/mux-demux>and
dnode <https://github.com/substack/dnode>. I am trying to settle on an API
for the setup phase and was looking for suggestions. Perhaps the whole
module should be a stream?
right now on the server I am doing
var leveltcp = levelnet(db)var server = net.createServer(leveltcp).listen(PORT)
which connects the local API to a stream.
Then on the client I am doing something kind of ugly
var stream = net.connect(PORT)var remotedb = levelnet().connect(stream)
remotedb.on('connection', function () {
remotedb.get(key, callback)
})
Personally I hate the two connect calls, one for net and one for levelnet.
If I made the whole library a stream (can you make a duplex stream that
internally connects mux-demux <https://github.com/dominictarr/mux-demux>
and dnode <https://github.com/substack/dnode> to itself? Probably) then
the API would be more like
var leveltcp = levelnet(db)var server = net.createServer(function (stream) {
leveltcp.pipe(stream).pipe.leveltcp
}).listen(PORT)
which follows the pattern of the two streaming modules it wraps. However,
the remote API call remotedb.createReadStream(options) would be a
stream.createReadStream() call and I am unsure if this is better.
Any suggestions?
