LoopBack JSON-RPC Connector
The LoopBack JSON-RPC Connector allows you to call JSON-RPC services from LoopBack models. It uses jayson as the client library.
Usage
var ds = loopback.createDataSource({
connector: require("loopback-connector-jsonrpc"),
debug: false,
baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
operations: ['add', 'subtract']});
var model = ds.createModel('dummy');
model.add(1, 2, function(err, data) {
console.log(err, data);
});
Options to configure the connector:
- url: Base URL to the json-rpc server
- operations: An array of operation names
You can also configure the baseURL as follows.
{
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000
}
Other properties will be passed to jayson
.
- reviver: Function to use as a JSON reviver
- replacer: Function to use as a JSON replacer
- generator: Function to generate request ids with. If omitted, Jayson will just generate a “random” number that is RFC4122 compliant and looks similar to this: 3d4be346-b5bb-4e28-bc4a-0b721d4f9ef9
- version: Can be either 1 or 2 depending on which specification should be followed in communicating with the server. Defaults to 2 for JSON-RPC 2.0
- encoding: String that determines the encoding to use and defaults to utf8
