• haXe, Node.js, Remote Data Sneak Peak

  I recently posted a haxe data store I’m working on here

  https://github.com/cloudshift/Data

  it has persistent hashes and indexable/relatable buckets.

  example here https://github.com/cloudshift/Data/blob/master/usage/Test.hx

  I have first cut of a remote client working, flavor ..

  import cloudshift.Core;
  using cloudshift.Mixin;
  import cloudshift.Data;

  class TestRemote {
    public static function
    main() {
   Data.store(REMOTESQLITE(“http://localhost:8083/”)).then(function(store) {
          store.bucket(“users”).then(function(users) {
              users.where(‘blah=”elennena”’).then(function(recs) {
                  trace(recs.stringify());
                });
  users.insert({email:”lorena@ritchie.com”,name:”lore”,passwd:”and why not”}).then(function(u) {
                  trace(u);
                });
            });
        });
    }
  }

  This has the same bucket interface as the in-process version (couple of methods throw as not applicable on client).

  Works over haXe remoting, and with a tweak to the neko code generator that I’ve already made to my js generator, would be client compatible with neko.

  Any serverside bucket can be made available over http - via http async remoting - and security can be added with my session project.

  Because  proxy async works via  haxe.Http I’ve had to modify haxe.Http and add a #if nodejs  for requests, but I can ship this in the nodejs haxelib until Nicolas sees fit to recognize Node.js as a first class platform - but don’t hold your breath.

  Node complements sqlite very well as being a great single threaded server on a very fast database that prefers non concurrent access. So now you don’t have to do your data access in-process and can spread the load over multiple buckets on multiple servers.

  I’ve posted to github, I won’t complete til end of next week as there’s a long weekend here and I haven’t finalised the api.
