class Controller

Base class for controller objects designed to be proxied over Async::Bus.

Controllers provide an explicit API for remote operations, avoiding the confusion that comes from proxying generic objects like Array or Hash.

def append(*values)
  self  # Return self for chaining
end

def get(index)
end

def size
end

end

Controllers are automatically proxied when serialized if registered as a reference type in the Wrapper:

Wrapper.new(connection, reference_types: [Async::Bus::Controller])

This allows controller methods to return other controllers and have them automatically proxied.

class ArrayController < Async::Bus::Controller
  def initialize(array)
  end

server.accept do |connection|
  array = []
  controller = ArrayController.new(array)
  connection.bind(:items, controller)
end

client.connect do |connection|
  items = connection[:items]  # Returns proxy to controller
  items.append(1, 2, 3)       # Remote call
  expect(items.size).to be == 3
end
