That is awesome! I see you use Proxy which is a very cool way to achieve this. [0] I saw this approach using Proxy when hacking VSCode's ipc where they use it define services from ipc channels/ [1]
I did something similar using VSCode's core ipc / rpc which only requires a transport (protocol) to implement {send, onMessage}. I use it in a Chrome extension so I have to implement my own socket.io and port message passing protocols. Some of the benefits are being able to send a message from MAIN world of an injected content script (if you want to intercept all fetch and XMLHttpRequest requests, for example) through a tunnel in the isolated world content script to the side panel which could theoretically tunnel it to a server over socket.io. If I have a Math service, for example, that only adds two numbers, it can be called from anywhere in t
Read the rest
he system with `await mathService.add(1,1);` with mathServer being dependency injected using constructor(@IMathService private readonly mathService: IMathService). This is how VSCode manages calling code across hundreds of different isolated JavaScript runtime environments.
What I did was a bit overkill and likely trpc would have been good enough if I knew about it when I started.
