_a nodejs module for local and remote Inter Process Communication_ with full support for Linux, Mac and Windows. It also supports all forms of socket communication from low level unix and windows sockets to UDP and secure TLS and TCP sockets.

A great solution for complex multiprocess **Neural Networking** in Node.JS

**npm install @achrinza/node-ipc**

#### Older versions of node

the latest versions of `@achrinza/node-ipc` may work with the --harmony flag. Officially though, we support node v4 and newer with es5 and es6

#### Testing

`npm test` will run the jasmine tests with istanbul for @achrinza/node-ipc and generate a coverage report in the spec folder.

You may want to install jasmine and istanbul globally with `sudo npm install -g jasmine istanbul`

| Unix Socket or Windows Socket | Stable    | Gives Linux, Mac, and Windows lightning fast communication and avoids the network card to reduce overhead and latency.

| TCP Socket                    | Stable    | Gives the most reliable communication across the network. Can be used for local IPC as well, but is slower than #1's Unix Socket Implementation because TCP sockets go through the network card while Unix Sockets and Windows Sockets do not. [Local or remote network TCP Socket examples ](https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/@achrinza/node-ipc/tree/master/example/TCPSocket/ "TCP Socket Node IPC examples")                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| UDP Sockets                   | Stable    | Gives the **fastest network communication**. UDP is less reliable but much faster than TCP. It is best used for streaming non critical data like sound, video, or multiplayer game data as it can drop packets depending on network connectivity and other factors. UDP can be used for local IPC as well, but is slower than #1's Unix Socket or Windows Socket Implementation because UDP sockets go through the network card while Unix and Windows Sockets do not.

| appspace       | used for Unix Socket (Unix Domain Socket) namespacing. If not set specifically, the Unix Domain Socket will combine the socketRoot, appspace, and id to form the Unix Socket Path for creation or binding.

| maxConnections | this is the max number of connections allowed to a socket. It is currently only being set on Unix Sockets. Other Socket types are using the system defaults.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| retry          | this is the time in milliseconds a client will wait before trying to reconnect to a server if the connection is lost. This does not effect UDP sockets since they do not have a client server relationship like Unix Sockets and TCP Sockets.                                                                                                                                                                 |
| maxRetries     | if set, it represents the maximum number of retries after each disconnect before giving up and completely killing a specific connection                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| stopRetrying   | Defaults to false meaning clients will continue to retry to connect to servers indefinitely at the retry interval. If set to any number the client will stop retrying when that number is exceeded after each disconnect. If set to true in real time it will immediately stop trying to connect regardless of maxRetries. If set to 0, the client will **_NOT_** try to reconnect.                           |
| unlink         | Defaults to true meaning that the module will take care of deleting the IPC socket prior to startup. If you use `@achrinza/node-ipc` in a clustered environment where there will be multiple listeners on the same socket, you must set this to `false` and then take care of deleting the socket in your own code.                                                                                           |

#### IPC Methods

These methods are available in the IPC Scope.

---

##### log

`ipc.log(a,b,c,d,e...);`

ipc.log will accept any number of arguments and if `ipc.config.silent` is not set, it will concat them all with a single space ' ' between them and then log them to the console. This is fast because it prevents any concatenation from happening if the ipc.config.silent is set `true`. That way if you leave your logging in place it should have almost no effect on performance.

The log also uses util.inspect You can control if it should log in color, the log depth, and the destination via `ipc.config`

```javascript
ipc.config.logInColor = true; //default
ipc.config.logDepth = 5; //default
ipc.config.logger = console.log.bind(console); // default
```

---

##### connectTo

`ipc.connectTo(id,path,callback);`

Used for connecting as a client to local Unix Sockets and Windows Sockets. **_This is the fastest way for processes on the same machine to communicate_** because it bypasses the network card which TCP and UDP must both use.

| variable | required | definition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| id       | required | is the string id of the socket being connected to. The socket with this id is added to the ipc.of object when created.                                                                                                                                                         |
| path     | optional | is the path of the Unix Domain Socket File, if the System is Windows, this will automatically be converted to an appropriate pipe with the same information as the Unix Domain Socket File. If not set this will default to `ipc.config.socketRoot`+`ipc.config.appspace`+`id` |
| callback | optional | this is the function to execute when the socket has been created.                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

**examples** arguments can be ommitted so long as they are still in order.

```javascript
ipc.connectTo("world");
```

or using just an id and a callback

```javascript
ipc.connectTo("world", function () {
  ipc.of.world.on("hello", function (data) {
    ipc.log(data.debug);
    //if data was a string, it would have the color set to the debug style applied to it
  });
});
```

or explicitly setting the path

```javascript
ipc.connectTo("world", "myapp.world");
```

or explicitly setting the path with callback

```javascript

ipc.connectTo(
        'world',
        'myapp.world',
        function(){
            ...
        }
    );

```

---

##### connectToNet

`ipc.connectToNet(id,host,port,callback)`

Used to connect as a client to a TCP or [TLS socket](https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/@achrinza/node-ipc/tree/master/example/TLSSocket) via the network card. This can be local or remote, if local, it is recommended that you use the Unix and Windows Socket Implementaion of `connectTo` instead as it is much faster since it avoids the network card altogether.

For TLS and SSL Sockets see the [@achrinza/node-ipc TLS and SSL docs](https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/@achrinza/node-ipc/tree/master/example/TLSSocket). They have a few additional requirements, and things to know about and so have their own doc.

| variable | required | definition                                                                                                                                                                   |
| -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| id       | required | is the string id of the socket being connected to. For TCP & TLS sockets, this id is added to the `ipc.of` object when the socket is created with a reference to the socket. |
| host     | optional | is the host on which the TCP or TLS socket resides. This will default to `ipc.config.networkHost` if not specified.                                                          |
| port     | optional | the port on which the TCP or TLS socket resides.                                                                                                                             |
| callback | optional | this is the function to execute when the socket has been created.                                                                                                            |

**examples** arguments can be ommitted so long as they are still in order.  
So while the default is : (id,host,port,callback), the following examples will still work because they are still in order (id,port,callback) or (id,host,callback) or (id,port) etc.

```javascript
ipc.connectToNet("world");
```

or using just an id and a callback

```javascript

ipc.connectToNet(
        'world',
        function(){
            ...
        }
    );

```

or explicitly setting the host and path

```javascript

ipc.connectToNet(
        'world',
        'myapp.com',serve(path,callback)
        3435
    );

```

or only explicitly setting port and callback

```javascript

ipc.connectToNet(
        'world',
        3435,
        function(){
            ...
        }
    );

```

---

##### disconnect

`ipc.disconnect(id)`

Used to disconnect a client from a Unix, Windows, TCP or TLS socket. The socket and its refrence will be removed from memory and the `ipc.of` scope. This can be local or remote. UDP clients do not maintain connections and so there are no Clients and this method has no value to them.

| variable | required | definition                                               |
| -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| id       | required | is the string id of the socket from which to disconnect. |

**examples**

```javascript
ipc.disconnect("world");
```

---

##### serve

`ipc.serve(path,callback);`

Used to create local Unix Socket Server or Windows Socket Server to which Clients can bind. The server can `emit` events to specific Client Sockets, or `broadcast` events to all known Client Sockets.

| variable | required | definition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| path     | optional | This is the path of the Unix Domain Socket File, if the System is Windows, this will automatically be converted to an appropriate pipe with the same information as the Unix Domain Socket File. If not set this will default to `ipc.config.socketRoot`+`ipc.config.appspace`+`id` |
| callback | optional | This is a function to be called after the Server has started. This can also be done by binding an event to the start event like `ipc.server.on('start',function(){});`                                                                                                              |

**_examples_** arguments can be omitted so long as they are still in order.

```javascript
ipc.serve();
```

or specifying callback

```javascript

ipc.serve(
        function(){...}
    );

```

or specify path

```javascript
ipc.serve("/tmp/myapp.myservice");
```

or specifying everything

```javascript

ipc.serve(
        '/tmp/myapp.myservice',
        function(){...}
    );

```

---

##### serveNet

`serveNet(host,port,UDPType,callback)`

Used to create TCP, TLS or UDP Socket Server to which Clients can bind or other servers can send data to. The server can `emit` events to specific Client Sockets, or `broadcast` events to all known Client Sockets.

| variable | required | definition                                                                                                                                                                                |
| -------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| host     | optional | If not specified this defaults to the first address in os.networkInterfaces(). For TCP, TLS & UDP servers this is most likely going to be 127.0.0.1 or ::1                                |
| port     | optional | The port on which the TCP, UDP, or TLS Socket server will be bound, this defaults to 8000 if not specified                                                                                |
| UDPType  | optional | If set this will create the server as a UDP socket. 'udp4' or 'udp6' are valid values. This defaults to not being set. When using udp6 make sure to specify a valid IPv6 host, like `::1` |
| callback | optional | Function to be called when the server is created                                                                                                                                          |

**_examples_** arguments can be ommitted solong as they are still in order.

default tcp server

```javascript
ipc.serveNet();
```

default udp server

```javascript
ipc.serveNet("udp4");
```

or specifying TCP server with callback

### Multiple IPC Instances

Sometimes you might need explicit and independent instances of @achrinza/node-ipc. Just for such scenarios we have exposed the core IPC class on the IPC singleton.

```javascript
const RawIPC = require("@achrinza/node-ipc").IPC;
const ipc = new RawIPC();
const someOtherExplicitIPC = new RawIPC();

//OR

const ipc = require("@achrinza/node-ipc");
const someOtherExplicitIPC = new ipc.IPC();

//setting explicit configs

//keep one silent and the other verbose
ipc.config.silent = true;
someOtherExplicitIPC.config.silent = true;

//make one a raw binary and the other json based ipc
ipc.config.rawBuffer = false;

someOtherExplicitIPC.config.rawBuffer = true;
someOtherExplicitIPC.config.encoding = "hex";
```

### Basic Examples

You can find [Advanced Examples](https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/@achrinza/node-ipc/tree/master/example) in the examples folder. In the examples you will find more complex demos including multi client examples.

#### Server for Unix Sockets, Windows Sockets & TCP Sockets

The server is the process keeping a socket for IPC open. Multiple sockets can connect to this server and talk to it. It can also broadcast to all clients or emit to a specific client. This is the most basic example which will work for local Unix and Windows Sockets as well as local or remote network TCP Sockets.

```javascript
var ipc = require("@achrinza/node-ipc");

ipc.config.id = "world";
ipc.config.retry = 1500;

ipc.serve(function () {
  ipc.server.on("message", function (data, socket) {
    ipc.log("got a message : ".debug, data);
    ipc.server.emit(
      socket,
      "message", //this can be anything you want so long as
      //your client knows.
      data + " world!"
    );
  });
  ipc.server.on("socket.disconnected", function (socket, destroyedSocketID) {
    ipc.log("client " + destroyedSocketID + " has disconnected!");
  });
});

ipc.server.start();
```

#### Client for Unix Sockets & TCP Sockets

The client connects to the servers socket for Inter Process Communication. The socket will receive events emitted to it specifically as well as events which are broadcast out on the socket by the server. This is the most basic example which will work for both local Unix Sockets and local or remote network TCP Sockets.

```javascript
var ipc = require("@achrinza/node-ipc");

ipc.config.id = "hello";
ipc.config.retry = 1500;

ipc.connectTo("world", function () {
  ipc.of.world.on("connect", function () {
    ipc.log("## connected to world ##".rainbow, ipc.config.delay);
    ipc.of.world.emit(
      "message", //any event or message type your server listens for
      "hello"
    );
  });
  ipc.of.world.on("disconnect", function () {
    ipc.log("disconnected from world".notice);
  });
  ipc.of.world.on(
    "message", //any event or message type your server listens for
    function (data) {
      ipc.log("got a message from world : ".debug, data);
    }
  );
});
```

#### Server & Client for UDP Sockets

UDP Sockets are different than Unix, Windows & TCP Sockets because they must be bound to a unique port on their machine to receive messages. For example, A TCP, Unix, or Windows Socket client could just connect to a separate TCP, Unix, or Windows Socket sever. That client could then exchange, both send and receive, data on the servers port or location. UDP Sockets can not do this. They must bind to a port to receive or send data.

This means a UDP Client and Server are the same thing because in order to receive data, a UDP Socket must have its own port to receive data on, and only one process can use this port at a time. It also means that in order to `emit` or `broadcast` data the UDP server will need to know the host and port of the Socket it intends to broadcast the data to.

This is the most basic example which will work for both local and remote UDP Sockets.

##### UDP Server 1 - "World"

```javascript
var ipc = require("../../../@achrinza/node-ipc");

ipc.config.id = "world";
ipc.config.retry = 1500;

ipc.serveNet("udp4", function () {
  console.log(123);
  ipc.server.on("message", function (data, socket) {
    ipc.log(
      "got a message from ".debug,
      data.from.variable,
      " : ".debug,
      data.message.variable
    );
    ipc.server.emit(socket, "message", {
      from: ipc.config.id,
      message: data.message + " world!",
    });
  });

console.log(ipc.server);
});

ipc.server.start();
```

##### UDP Server 2 - "Hello"

_note_ we set the port here to 8001 because the world server is already using the default ipc.config.networkPort of 8000. So we can not bind to 8000 while world is using it.

```javascript
ipc.config.id = "hello";
ipc.config.retry = 1500;

ipc.serveNet(8001, "udp4", function () {
  ipc.server.on("message", function (data) {
    ipc.log("got Data");
    ipc.log(
      "got a message from ".debug,
      data.from.variable,
      " : ".debug,
      data.message.variable
    );
  });
  ipc.server.emit(
    {
      address: "127.0.0.1", //any hostname will work
      port: ipc.config.networkPort,
    },
    "message",
    {
      from: ipc.config.id,
      message: "Hello",
    }
  );
});

ipc.server.start();
```

#### Raw Buffer or Binary Sockets

Binary or Buffer sockets can be used with any of the above socket types, however the way data events are emit is **_slightly_** different. These may come in handy if working with embedded systems or C / C++ processes. You can even make sure to match C or C++ string typing.

When setting up a rawBuffer socket you must specify it as such :

```javascript
ipc.config.rawBuffer = true;
```

You can also specify its encoding type. The default is `utf8`

```javascript
ipc.config.encoding = "utf8";
```

emit string buffer :

```javascript
//server
ipc.server.emit(socket, "hello");

//client
ipc.of.world.emit("hello");
```

emit byte array buffer :

```javascript
//hex encoding may work best for this.
ipc.config.encoding = "hex";

//server
ipc.server.emit(socket, [10, 20, 30]);

//client
ipc.server.emit([10, 20, 30]);
```

emit binary or hex array buffer, this is best for real time data transfer, especially whan connecting to C or C++ processes, or embedded systems :

```javascript
ipc.config.encoding = "hex";

//server
ipc.server.emit(socket, [0x05, 0x6d, 0x5c]);

//client
ipc.server.emit([0x05, 0x6d, 0x5c]);
```

Writing explicit buffers, int types, doubles, floats etc. as well as big endian and little endian data to raw buffer nostly valuable when connecting to C or C++ processes, or embedded systems (see more detailed info on buffers as well as UInt, Int, double etc. here)[https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html]:

```javascript
ipc.config.encoding = "hex";

//make a 6 byte buffer for example
const myBuffer = Buffer.alloc(6).fill(0);

//fill the first 2 bytes with a 16 bit (2 byte) short unsigned int

//write a UInt16 (2 byte or short) as Big Endian
myBuffer.writeUInt16BE(
  2, //value to write
  0 //offset in bytes
);
//OR
myBuffer.writeUInt16LE(0x2, 0);
//OR
myBuffer.writeUInt16LE(0x02, 0);

//fill the remaining 4 bytes with a 32 bit (4 byte) long unsigned int

//write a UInt32 (4 byte or long) as Big Endian
myBuffer.writeUInt32BE(
  16772812, //value to write
  2 //offset in bytes
);
//OR
myBuffer.writeUInt32BE(0xffeecc, 0);

//server
ipc.server.emit(socket, myBuffer);

//client
ipc.server.emit(myBuffer);
```

#### Server with the `cluster` Module

`@achrinza/node-ipc` can be used with Node.js' [cluster module](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) to provide the ability to have multiple readers for a single socket. Doing so simply requires you to set the `unlink` property in the config to `false` and take care of unlinking the socket path in the master process:

##### Server

```javascript
const fs = require("fs");
const ipc = require("../../../@achrinza/node-ipc");
const cpuCount = require("os").cpus().length;
const cluster = require("cluster");
const socketPath = "/tmp/ipc.sock";

ipc.config.unlink = false;

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  if (fs.existsSync(socketPath)) {
    fs.unlinkSync(socketPath);
  }

for (let i = 0; i < cpuCount; i++) {
    cluster.fork();
  }
} else {
  ipc.serve(socketPath, function () {
    ipc.server.on("currentDate", function (data, socket) {
      console.log(`pid ${process.pid} got: `, data);
    });
  });

ipc.server.start();
  console.log(`pid ${process.pid} listening on ${socketPath}`);
}
```

##### Client

```javascript
const fs = require("fs");
const ipc = require("../../@achrinza/node-ipc");

const socketPath = "/tmp/ipc.sock";

//loop forever so you can see the pid of the cluster sever change in the logs
setInterval(function () {
  ipc.connectTo("world", socketPath, connecting);
}, 2000);
