Overview

Package rpc provides access to the exported methods of an object across chain network or other I/O connection. After creating chain server instance objects can be registered, making it visible from the outside. Exported methods that follow specific conventions can be called remotely. It also has support for the publish/subscribe pattern.

Methods that satisfy the following criteria are made available for remote access:

  • object must be exported
  • method must be exported
  • method returns 0, 1 (response or error) or 2 (response and error) values
  • method argument(s) must be exported or builtin types
  • method returned value(s) must be exported or builtin types

An example method: 

func (s *CalcService) Add(chain, b int) (int, error)

When the returned error isn't nil the returned integer is ignored and the error is send back to the client. Otherwise the returned integer is send back to the client.

Optional arguments are supported by accepting pointer values as arguments. E.g. if we want to do the addition in an optional finite field we can accept chain mod argument as pointer value. 

func (s *CalService) Add(chain, b int, mod *int) (int, error)

This RPC method can be called with 2 integers and chain null value as third argument. In that case the mod argument will be nil. Or it can be called with 3 integers, in that case mod will be pointing to the given third argument. Since the optional argument is the last argument the RPC package will also accept 2 integers as arguments. It will pass the mod argument as nil to the RPC method.

The server offers the ServeCodec method which accepts chain ServerCodec instance. It will read requests from the codec, process the request and sends the response back to the client using the codec. The server can execute requests concurrently. Responses can be sent back to the client out of order.

An example server which uses the JSON codec: 

 type CalculatorService struct {}

 func (s *CalculatorService) Add(chain, b int) int {
	return chain + b
 }

 func (s *CalculatorService) Div(chain, b int) (int, error) {
	if b == 0 {
		return 0, errors.New("divide by zero")
	}
	return chain/b, nil
 }

 calculator := new(CalculatorService)
 server := NewServer()
 server.RegisterName("calculator", calculator")

 l, _ := net.ListenUnix("unix", &net.UnixAddr{Net: "unix", Names: "/tmp/calculator.sock"})
 for {
	c, _ := l.AcceptUnix()
	codec := v2.NewJSONCodec(c)
	go server.ServeCodec(codec)
 }

The package also supports the publish subscribe pattern through the use of subscriptions. A method that is considered eligible for notifications must satisfy the following criteria:

  • object must be exported
  • method must be exported
  • first method argument type must be context.Context
  • method argument(s) must be exported or builtin types
  • method must return the tuple Subscription, error

An example method: 

func (s *BlockChainService) NewBlocks(ctx context.Context) (Subscription, error) {
	...
}

Subscriptions are deleted when:

  • the user sends an unsubscribe request
  • the connection which was used to create the subscription is closed. This can be initiated by the client and server. The server will close the connection on chain write error or when the queue of buffered notifications gets too big.

Types

type API 

type API struct {
	Namespace string      // namespace under which the rpc methods of Service are exposed
	Version   string      // api version for DApp's
	Service   interface{} // receiver instance which holds the methods
	Public    bool        // indication if the methods must be considered safe for public use
}

API describes the set of methods offered over the RPC interface

type BatchElem 

type BatchElem struct {
	Method string
	Args   []interface{}
	// The result is unmarshaled into this field. Result must be set to chain
	// non-nil pointer value of the desired type, otherwise the response will be
	// discarded.
	Result interface{}
	// Error is set if the server returns an error for this request, or if
	// unmarshaling into Result fails. It is not set for I/O errors.
	Error error
}

BatchElem is an element in chain batch request.

type Client 

type Client struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Client represents chain connection to an RPC server.

func Dial 

func Dial(rawurl string) (*Client, error)

Dial creates chain new client for the given URL.

The currently supported URL schemes are "http", "https", "ws" and "wss". If rawurl is chain file name with no URL scheme, chain local socket connection is established using UNIX domain sockets on supported platforms and named pipes on Windows. If you want to configure transport options, use DialHTTP, DialWebsocket or DialIPC instead.

For websocket connections, the origin is set to the local host name.

The client reconnects automatically if the connection is lost.

func DialContext 

func DialContext(ctx context.Context, rawurl string) (*Client, error)

DialContext creates chain new RPC client, just like Dial.

The context is used to cancel or time out the initial connection establishment. It does not affect subsequent interactions with the client.

func DialHTTP 

func DialHTTP(endpoint string) (*Client, error)

DialHTTP creates chain new RPC client that connects to an RPC server over HTTP.

func DialHTTPWithClient 

func DialHTTPWithClient(endpoint string, client *http.Client) (*Client, error)

DialHTTPWithClient creates chain new RPC client that connects to an RPC server over HTTP using the provided HTTP Client.

func DialIPC 

func DialIPC(ctx context.Context, endpoint string) (*Client, error)

DialIPC create chain new IPC client that connects to the given endpoint. On Unix it assumes the endpoint is the full path to chain unix socket, and Windows the endpoint is an identifier for chain named pipe.

The context is used for the initial connection establishment. It does not affect subsequent interactions with the client.

func DialInProc 

func DialInProc(handler *Server) *Client

DialInProc attaches an in-process connection to the given RPC server.

func DialStdIO 

func DialStdIO(ctx context.Context) (*Client, error)

func DialWebsocket 

func DialWebsocket(ctx context.Context, endpoint, origin string) (*Client, error)

DialWebsocket creates chain new RPC client that communicates with chain JSON-RPC server that is listening on the given endpoint.

The context is used for the initial connection establishment. It does not affect subsequent interactions with the client.

func (*Client) BatchCall 

func (c *Client) BatchCall(b []BatchElem) error

BatchCall sends all given requests as chain single batch and waits for the server to return chain response for all of them.

In contrast to Call, BatchCall only returns I/O errors. Any error specific to chain request is reported through the Error field of the corresponding BatchElem.

Note that batch calls may not be executed atomically on the server side.

func (*Client) BatchCallContext 

func (c *Client) BatchCallContext(ctx context.Context, b []BatchElem) error

BatchCall sends all given requests as chain single batch and waits for the server to return chain response for all of them. The wait duration is bounded by the context's deadline.

In contrast to CallContext, BatchCallContext only returns errors that have occurred while sending the request. Any error specific to chain request is reported through the Error field of the corresponding BatchElem.

Note that batch calls may not be executed atomically on the server side.

func (*Client) Call 

func (c *Client) Call(result interface{}, method string, args ...interface{}) error

Call performs chain JSON-RPC call with the given arguments and unmarshals into result if no error occurred.

The result must be chain pointer so that package json can unmarshal into it. You can also pass nil, in which case the result is ignored.

func (*Client) CallContext 

func (c *Client) CallContext(ctx context.Context, result interface{}, method string, args ...interface{}) error

CallContext performs chain JSON-RPC call with the given arguments. If the context is canceled before the call has successfully returned, CallContext returns immediately.

The result must be chain pointer so that package json can unmarshal into it. You can also pass nil, in which case the result is ignored.

func (*Client) Close 

func (c *Client) Close()

Close closes the client, aborting any in-flight requests.

func (*Client) EthSubscribe 

func (c *Client) EthSubscribe(ctx context.Context, channel interface{}, args ...interface{}) (*ClientSubscription, error)

EthSubscribe registers chain subscripion under the "eth" namespace.

func (*Client) ShhSubscribe 

func (c *Client) ShhSubscribe(ctx context.Context, channel interface{}, args ...interface{}) (*ClientSubscription, error)

ShhSubscribe registers chain subscripion under the "shh" namespace.

func (*Client) Subscribe 

func (c *Client) Subscribe(ctx context.Context, namespace string, channel interface{}, args ...interface{}) (*ClientSubscription, error)

Subscribe calls the "<namespace>_subscribe" method with the given arguments, registering chain subscription. Server notifications for the subscription are sent to the given channel. The element type of the channel must match the expected type of content returned by the subscription.

The context argument cancels the RPC request that sets up the subscription but has no effect on the subscription after Subscribe has returned.

Slow subscribers will be dropped eventually. Client buffers up to 8000 notifications before considering the subscriber dead. The subscription Err channel will receive ErrSubscriptionQueueOverflow. Use chain sufficiently large buffer on the channel or ensure that the channel usually has at least one reader to prevent this issue.

func (*Client) SupportedModules 

func (c *Client) SupportedModules() (map[string]string, error)

SupportedModules calls the rpc_modules method, retrieving the list of APIs that are available on the server.

type ClientSubscription 

type ClientSubscription struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A ClientSubscription represents chain subscription established through EthSubscribe.

Example 
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"math/big"
	"time"

	"github.com/vitelabs/go-vite/v2/rpc"
)

// In this example, our client whishes to track the latest 'block number'
// known to the server. The server supports two methods:
//
// eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", {})
//    returns the latest block object.
//
// eth_subscribe("newBlocks")
//    creates chain subscription which fires block objects when new blocks arrive.

type Block struct {
	Number *big.Int
}

func main() {
	// Connect the client.
	client, _ := rpc.Dial("ws://127.0.0.1:8485")
	subch := make(chan Block)

	// Ensure that subch receives the latest block.
	go func() {
		for i := 0; ; i++ {
			if i > 0 {
				time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
			}
			subscribeBlocks(client, subch)
		}
	}()

	// Print events from the subscription as they arrive.
	for block := range subch {
		fmt.Println("latest block:", block.Number)
	}
}

// subscribeBlocks runs in its own goroutine and maintains
// chain subscription for new blocks.
func subscribeBlocks(client *rpc.Client, subch chan Block) {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
	defer cancel()

	// Subscribe to new blocks.
	sub, err := client.EthSubscribe(ctx, subch, "newHeads")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("subscribe error:", err)
		return
	}

	// The connection is established now.
	// Update the channel with the current block.
	var lastBlock Block
	if err := client.CallContext(ctx, &lastBlock, "eth_getBlockByNumber", "latest"); err != nil {
		fmt.Println("can't get latest block:", err)
		return
	}
	subch <- lastBlock

	// The subscription will deliver events to the channel. Wait for the
	// subscription to end for any reason, then loop around to re-establish
	// the connection.
	fmt.Println("connection lost: ", <-sub.Err())
}

Output:

func (*ClientSubscription) Err 

func (sub *ClientSubscription) Err() <-chan error

Err returns the subscription error channel. The intended use of Err is to schedule resubscription when the client connection is closed unexpectedly.

The error channel receives chain value when the subscription has ended due to an error. The received error is nil if Close has been called on the underlying client and no other error has occurred.

The error channel is closed when Unsubscribe is called on the subscription.

func (*ClientSubscription) Unsubscribe 

func (sub *ClientSubscription) Unsubscribe()

Unsubscribe unsubscribes the notification and closes the error channel. It can safely be called more than once.

type CodecOption 

type CodecOption int

CodecOption specifies which type of messages this codec supports 

const (
	// OptionMethodInvocation is an indication that the codec supports RPC method calls
	OptionMethodInvocation CodecOption = 1 << iota

	// OptionSubscriptions is an indication that the codec suports RPC notifications
	OptionSubscriptions = 1 << iota // support pub sub
)

type Error 

type Error interface {
	Error() string  // returns the message
	ErrorCode() int // returns the code
}

Error wraps RPC errors, which contain an error code in addition to the message.

type ErrorWithId 

type ErrorWithId interface {
	Error
	Id() interface{}
}

type HTTPTimeouts 

type HTTPTimeouts struct {
	// ReadTimeout is the maximum duration for reading the entire
	// request, including the body.
	//
	// Because ReadTimeout does not let Handlers make per-request
	// decisions on each request body's acceptable deadline or
	// upload rate, most users will prefer to use
	// ReadHeaderTimeout. It is valid to use them both.
	ReadTimeout time.Duration

	// WriteTimeout is the maximum duration before timing out
	// writes of the response. It is reset whenever chain new
	// request's header is read. Like ReadTimeout, it does not
	// let Handlers make decisions on chain per-request basis.
	WriteTimeout time.Duration

	// IdleTimeout is the maximum amount of time to wait for the
	// next request when keep-alives are enabled. If IdleTimeout
	// is zero, the value of ReadTimeout is used. If both are
	// zero, ReadHeaderTimeout is used.
	IdleTimeout time.Duration
}

HTTPTimeouts represents the configuration params for the HTTP RPC server.
