JRPC

JRPC generates code from def files to assist with JSON-based RPCs.

Types

A message field can have one of the following types. The table shows the corresponding generated types. Fields can be marked as repeated by prepending the type with [].

JRPC type	Golang type
bool	bool
string	string
int8	int8
int32	int32
int64	int64
uint8	byte
uint32	uint32
uint64	uint64
float32	float32
float64	float64
bytes	[]byte
time	time.Time
any	interface{}
map[x]y	map[x]y
rgb	util.RGB

Field options

Message fields can take various options which are used to generate validation functions. The router code (template_router.go) automatically calls the validation functions in the generated handlers.

required If set, the value in the incoming JSON must be set. This holds for repeated fields as well, i.e. the field must be set (but could be an empty array).

min Can be used on numeric fields to enforce a minimum allowed value.

max Can be used on numeric fields to enforce a maximum allowed value.
