// HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc over HTTP, and jsonrpc over // websockets // // Client Requests // // Suppose we want to expose the rpc function `HelloWorld(name string, num int)`. // // GET (URI) // // As a GET request, it would have URI encoded parameters, and look like: // // curl 'http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name="my_world"&num=5' // // Note the `'` around the url, which is just so bash doesn't ignore the quotes in `"my_world"`. // This should also work: // // curl http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name=\"my_world\"&num=5 // // A GET request to `/` returns a list of available endpoints. // For those which take arguments, the arguments will be listed in order, with `_` where the actual value should be. // // POST (JSONRPC) // // As a POST request, we use JSONRPC. For instance, the same request would have this as the body: // // { // "jsonrpc": "2.0", // "id": "anything", // "method": "hello_world", // "params": { // "name": "my_world", // "num": 5 // } // } // // With the above saved in file `data.json`, we can make the request with // // curl --data @data.json http://localhost:8008 // // // WebSocket (JSONRPC) // // All requests are exposed over websocket in the same form as the POST JSONRPC. // Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`, // though this is configurable when starting the server. // // Server Definition // // Define some types and routes: // // type ResultStatus struct { // Value string // } // // Define some routes // // var Routes = map[string]*rpcserver.RPCFunc{ // "status": rpcserver.NewRPCFunc(Status, "arg"), // } // // An rpc function: // // func Status(v string) (*ResultStatus, error) { // return &ResultStatus{v}, nil // } // // Now start the server: // // mux := http.NewServeMux() // rpcserver.RegisterRPCFuncs(mux, Routes) // wm := rpcserver.NewWebsocketManager(Routes) // mux.HandleFunc("/websocket", wm.WebsocketHandler) // logger := log.NewTMLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout)) // listener, err := rpc.Listen("0.0.0.0:8080", rpcserver.Config{}) // if err != nil { panic(err) } // go rpcserver.StartHTTPServer(listener, mux, logger) // // Note that unix sockets are supported as well (eg. `/path/to/socket` instead of `0.0.0.0:8008`) // Now see all available endpoints by sending a GET request to `0.0.0.0:8008`. // Each route is available as a GET request, as a JSONRPCv2 POST request, and via JSONRPCv2 over websockets. // // Examples // // - [Tendermint](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/rpc/core/routes.go) // - [tm-monitor](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/tools/tm-monitor/rpc.go) package rpc
