MelfShare

(A)Synchronous remote references based on melf.

{serialize, instantiate, reflect, ownerof, discard} = require("melf-share")(melf, {synchronous, namespace})

• melf :: melf.Melf
• synchronous :: boolean | undefined
• namespace :: string | undefined
• data = serialize(value, hint)
  • value :: *
  • hint :: Hint
  • data :: JSON
• value = instantiate(data)
  • data :: JSON
  • value :: *
• reflect :: object
• alias = ownerof(value)
  • value :: object | symbol
  • alias :: string
• success = discard(value)
  • value :: object | symbol
  • success :: boolean

Hints

• "number", "string" or "default": Will try to transform the given value into a primitive using the standard steps.
• Array of hint: Will try to serialize the elements of the given value using the elements of the hint. The instantiation will result to a new local array if successful else a remote array.
• Object of hint: Will try to serialize the enumerable properties of the given value using the properties of the hint. The instantiation will result to a new local object if successful else a remote object.
• Others: Others hint values are ignored and can be used for documentation purpose. After instantiation:
  • Non-symbolic primitives will refer to the same value (undefined, NaN, +Infinity, -Infinity, -0 are supported).
  • Well-known and global symbol will refer the local corresponding well-known/global symbol.
  • Other symbols will refer to a dedicated symbol with the same string representation.
  • Arrays will refer to a remote array.
  • Non-constructors will refer to a remote arrow.
  • Constructors will refer to a remote function.
  • Objects will refer to a remote object.
