Proxied-node without websocket

[ansarizafar]

Is it possible to use proxied-node without websocket and Is it possible to pass request object to namespaces. I want to use JWT authentication/authorization for limiting access to namespaces.

[WebReflection]

The namespace is the one you export. Any method in it, or class, can have guards so that only authenticated users can access specific parts of it, or return meaningful values.

The data that travels though must be compatible with structured clone-able data.

If you have a private instance on the server though, and it's created only after authentication, then only the authenticated user/browser can reach that instance, so you're good to go.

Regarding the usage without Web sockets, the answer is no, for at least these reasons:

1. this project is not meant to run on the internet ... it's like Electron, it's meant to run in intranets, on an embedded browser/stack, but not live on a server. Accordingly, there's no reason to not have websockets there, as there are no issues with frequently disconnected and reconnected users.
2. I don't know anything faster or better than websockets for this kind of application. If you do, please share.

cool ... but ... early stage? I am not excluding I'll switch to that in the future, but right now websockets, for this application, work really, really, well already, and are mature enough

@ansarizafar would Server-sent Events be an option? I think I have everything I need in bidi-sse to make this project work without Web sockets ... what do you think?

[ansarizafar]

bidi-sse is amazing and yes it can be used to replace web sockets. Actually I wanted to use Proxied-node to replace rest APIs.

@WebReflection why not develop a full stack framework on top of bidi-sse like http://www.drayman.io/ you have the required skills and tools to do it.

why not develop a full stack framework

I think I've done that already, and in few variants, flavors, but I have zero time to create by my own something big with great documentation, live demos, and so on ... maybe when I'll retire I'll have time for that 😅 (joking, not joking) ... for now, because I have limited time, I write building blocks to fuel all my crazy ideas ... bidi-sse is just yet another building block nobody had before, and it seems to work pretty well too.

Ok. I can understand. Deno will be very popular next year and a full stack framework is badly needed for denojs.
