RpcEngine——MetaMask/json-rpc-engine

https://github.com/MetaMask/json-rpc-engine

a tool for processing JSON RPC

usage

const RpcEngine = require('json-rpc-engine')
let engine = new RpcEngine()

Build a stack of json rpc processors by pushing in RpcEngine middleware.

通过push RpcEngine中间件构建一个json rpc处理器堆栈，处理步骤为先进后出，handle时得到的结果是与push时作出的处理相关的

engine.push(function(req, res, next, end){
  res.result = 42
  end()
})

⚠️push是能够对之后handle传入的request（即json rpc的值进行处理，(req, res, next, end)中的req就是handle传入的request）的一些状态进行定义或作出一些相关处理，会在handle处理json rpc时对其造成影响。

比如如果在push中设置res.result = req.id，那么就是将json rpc中传进来的（id: 1）的值传出

res：返回的是在push中经过处理后的json rpc的值，如果push中什么都没有做，那么req与res的值是相同的

JSON RPC are handled asynchronously, stepping down the stack until complete.异步处理request，直到返回结果

let request = { id: 1, jsonrpc: '2.0', method: 'hello' }

engine.handle(request, function(err, res){
  // do something with res.result，res.result即为push中设置的true
})

RpcEngine middleware has direct access to the request and response objects. It can let processing continue down the stack with next() or complete the request with end().RpcEngine中间件可以直接访问请求和响应对象。它可以使用next()继续处理堆栈，也可以使用end()完成请求

engine.push(function(req, res, next, end){
  if (req.skipCache) return next()
  res.result = getResultFromCache(req)
  end()
})

By passing a 'return handler' to the next function, you can get a peek at the result before it returns.

通过将“返回处理程序”传递给下一个函数，您可以在结果返回之前看到它

engine.push(function(req, res, next, end){
  next(function(cb){//就是先压入堆栈中，不进行处理，等到所以push都解决完后再返回处理
    insertIntoCache(res, cb)
  })
})

RpcEngines can be nested by converting them to middleware asMiddleware(engine)。rpcengine可以通过将它们转换为中间件(中间件)来嵌套

const asMiddleware = require('json-rpc-engine/lib/asMiddleware')

let engine = new RpcEngine()
let subengine = new RpcEngine()
engine.push(asMiddleware(subengine))

gotchas陷阱

Handle errors via end(err), NOT next(err).解决error使用的是end（），而不是next（）

/* INCORRECT */
engine.push(function(req, res, next, end){
  next(new Error())
})

/* CORRECT */
engine.push(function(req, res, next, end){
  end(new Error())
})

json-rpc-engine/src/idRemapMiddleware.js

const getUniqueId = require('./getUniqueId')

    const newId = getUniqueId()
    req.id = newId

    next((done) => {
      req.id = originalId
      res.id = originalId

describe('idRemapMiddleware tests', function () {
  it('basic middleware test', function (done) {
    let engine = new RpcEngine()

    const observedIds = {
      before: {},
      after: {},
    }

    engine.push(function (req, res, next, end) {
      observedIds.before.req = req.id
      observedIds.before.res = res.id //设置使得handle时 res.id = req.id，两者结果相同
      next()
    })
    engine.push(createIdRemapMiddleware())
    engine.push(function (req, res, next, end) {
      observedIds.after.req = req.id
      observedIds.after.res = res.id
      // set result so it doesnt error
      res.result = true
      end()
    })

    let payload = { id: 1, jsonrpc: '2.0', method: 'hello' }
    const payloadCopy = Object.assign({}, payload)

    engine.handle(payload, function (err, res) {
      assert.ifError(err, 'did not error')
      assert(res, 'has res')
      // collected data
      assert(observedIds.before.req, 'captured ids')
      assert(observedIds.before.res, 'captured ids')
      assert(observedIds.after.req, 'captured ids')
      assert(observedIds.after.res, 'captured ids')
      // data matches expectations
      assert.equal(observedIds.before.req, observedIds.before.res, 'ids match') //一开始两个是相同的
      assert.equal(observedIds.after.req, observedIds.after.res, 'ids match') //之后两个的结果也是相同的，但是变成了newId
      // correct behavior
      assert.notEqual(observedIds.before.req, observedIds.after.req, 'ids are different') //前后的req.id不同了
      assert.equal(observedIds.before.req, res.id, 'result id matches original') //但是before和最后输出的结果res.id还是一样的
      assert.equal(payload.id, res.id, 'result id matches original')
      assert.equal(payloadCopy.id, res.id, 'result id matches original')
      done()
    })
  })
})

这里可以知道idRemapMiddleware的作用是在过程中间得到一个新的、比较复杂的Id进行一系列处理，但是最后输出的给用户看的表示结果还是一样的
