About This File
This library is discontinued and lacks some features. I'm working on a new remote call library which is faster and more secure
Asynchronous Javascript Communication is a module to allow easy communication between server, client and CEF/browser. This module lets you call server handlers from clients (and vice versa) without dealing with adding and managing custom event handlers.
You can easily call a handler and get your callback called as soon as everything is returned from the handler in a promise like way! Let's see how it works in action:
// server side const ajcom = require("./ajcom") ajcom.register("getServerName", hCtx => { return mp.config.name })
// client side const ajcom = require("./[package name]/ajcom.js") mp.events.add("guiReady", () => { ajcom.callServer("getServerName").then((ctx, serverName) => { mp.gui.chat.push(`Welcome to ${serverName} ragemp server!`) }) })
That's all! Not convinced yet? See how the above code is done without ajcom:
// server side mp.events.add("getServerName", (player) => { player.call("gotServerName", [mp.config.name]) })
// client side mp.events.add("gotServerName", (serverName) => { mp.gui.chat.push(`Welcome to ${serverName} ragemp server!`) }) mp.events.add("guiReady", () => { mp.events.callRemote("getServerName") })
See? It eases the event handling mess. But there's a lot more to ajcom. You can easily handle errors happening on handler's side or any of the callbacks, set delays and other stuff. The full documentation is available here
