BERT-RPC client library for Ruby. Makes it ridiculously simple to interface with BERT-RPC servers.
See the full BERT-RPC specification at bert-rpc.org.
This library currently only supports the following BERT-RPC features:
callrequestscastrequests
BERTRPC was developed for GitHub and is currently in production use performing millions of RPC requests every day. The stability and performance have been exemplary.
$ gem install bertrpc -s http://gemcutter.org
Require the library and create a service:
require 'bertrpc'
svc = BERTRPC::Service.new('localhost', 9999)
Make a call:
svc.call.calc.add(1, 2)
# => 3
The underlying BERT-RPC transaction of the above call is:
-> {call, calc, add, [1, 2]}
<- {reply, 3}
Make a cast:
svc.cast.stats.incr
# => nil
The underlying BERT-RPC transaction of the above cast is:
-> {cast, stats, incr, []}
<- {noreply}
Creating a service:
# No timeout
svc = BERTRPC::Service.new('localhost', 9999)
# 10s socket read timeout, raises BERTRPC::ReadTimeoutError
svc = BERTRPC::Service.new('localhost', 9999, 10)
