Readme draft

1. write code
2. annotate it (see below)
3. launch kitcom -src path/to/source.A -dest path/to/generated/file.B
4. Use generated file for IPC

Typescript:

Currently only whole classes are supported.

Annotate:

/**
 * @kittenipc api
 */
class ClassName {}

Usage:

const localApi = new LocalAPI(); // LocalAPI is written by hand
const ipc = new ChildIPC(localApi);
const goApi = new RemoteAPI(ipc); // RemoteAPI is generated by kitcom
await ipc.start();
// work
await ipc.wait();

Golang:

Currently only whole structs are supported

Annotate

// kittenipc:api
type StructName struct {
}

Usage:

localApi := LocalAPI{} // LocalAPI is written by hand
cmd := exec.Command(fmt.Sprintf("node %s", "path to compiled js"))
ipc, err := kittenipc.NewParent(cmd, &localApi)
remoteApi := RemoteAPI{Ipc: ipc} // RemoteAPI is generated by kitcom
if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
}
if err := ipc.Start(); err != nil {
  log.Panic(err)
}
// work
if err := kit.Wait(); err != nil {
  log.Panic(err)
}

LocalAPI on one side is RemoteAPI on the other side

C++, Rust, Python:

To be done

Library status

Work in progress. No tests, no docs, code is not finished! Not everything is working yet. Code is partly crap.
