INTRO
zack climbs the beanstalk and may even return a golden harp from the sky. zack allows you to do RPC via beanstalkd. It will encode your messages and handle return values.
SYNOPSIS
# Server
class Server
def answer
puts 'answer called'
42
end
end
require 'zack'
Zack::Server.new(
'the_answer_to_life_the_universe_and_everything',
:simple => Server,
:server => 'localhost:11300'
).run
# Client
require 'zack'
answer = Zack::Client.
new(
'the_answer_to_life_the_universe_and_everything',
:server => 'localhost:11300',
:with_answer => [:answer]).
answer
puts "The answer is #{answer}!"
This will output ‘answer called’ on the server and ‘The answer is 41!’ on the client.
zack is a small library that doesn’t do much more than what has been shown above.
DEPENDENCIES
Depends on beanstalkd server (beanstalkd 1.4.4 or better).
COMPATIBILITY
Should run with most rubies of the 1.8 and 1.9 generations.
STATUS
Useful for production use. Not yet tested in high-volume situations.
