InstantRpc
Using InstantRpc, you can make RPC server without defining interface so that another process on the same PC can get/set properties and invoke methods of any specified object. This enables you to operate or check objects in your app without API from out-of-process test code.
On server, add one line to expose your instance:
// case 1: for basic usage
InstantRpcService.Expose(this);
// case 2: for WPF app UI objects, specify Dispatcher.Invoke() as wrappers to access the object
InstantRpcService.Expose(this, (a) => Dispatcher.Invoke(a), (f) => Dispatcher.Invoke(f));
On client, refer the server assembly, then write calling with lamda expression:
// client side
var client = new InstantRpcClient<YourClass>();
client.WaitUntilExposed(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)); // if needed, wait server gets ready
// get
var value = client.Get((x) => x.Value);
// set
client.Set((x) => x.YourProperty, "new value");
// invoke
var result = client.Invoke((x) => x.YourMethod());
Find further examples here InstantRpc.Test/Test1.cs
Remarks
- You can specify any public properties or methods with property chain and casting type.
- Limitations to get/set property and get returning value of method
- ✔ Primitive type
- ✔ Enum
- ✔ ValueTuple (not nested)
- ✔ Parsable type - the type has a method
public static Parse(string)and it can parseToString()result. - ✖ Other types
- For method parameter, you can give any type if you specify constructor including property initialization.
- ✔
client.Invoke((x) => x.YourMethod(new MyParam("1", "2"), new MyParam() { Value = "3" }))); - ✖
client.Invoke((x) => x.YourMethod(myParam1, myParam2));if myParams are not parsable.
- ✔
- Multiple servers/clients on a PC is not supported.
Requirements
No dependencies. You can use this library for any projects, but I recommend to use on testing environment only.
