System Client

Client lib to run apps on ZineOS and proxy messages to the OS through Postmaster.

Apps that want to integrate with ZineOS can use System Client to connect to ZineOS through the system interface.

System Client includes the UI library so apps can use that as well.

Usage

Setup:

SystemClient = require "system-client"

{application, system, UI} = SystemClient()

system.ready()
.then -> # Connected to ZineOS
.catch -> # Not connected to ZineOS

Making ZineOS system calls:

system.writeFile(path, blob)

The system calls are sent to the parent frame through postmessage. All arguments need to be able to survive the structured clone algorithm. A promise is returned that will be fulfilled with the result of the remote ivnocation or rejected with an error.
