ruby_skynet
===========

Ruby Client for calling [Skynet](https://github.com/bketelsen/skynet) services.
Will also implement the server side so that [Skynet](https://github.com/bketelsen/skynet) Services can be hosted in Ruby

* http://github.com/ClarityServices/ruby_skynet

### Example

```ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'ruby_skynet'
RubySkynet::Client.connect('TutorialService') do |tutorial_service|
  p tutorial_service.call('AddOne', 'value' => 5)
end
```

For details on installing and running the Tutorial Service: https://github.com/bketelsen/skynet/wiki/Service-Tutorial

### Logging

Since ruby_skynet uses SemanticLogger, trace level logging of all TCP/IP
calls can be enabled as follows:

```ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'ruby_skynet'
SemanticLogger::Logger.default_level = :trace
SemanticLogger::Logger.appenders << SemanticLogger::Appender::File.new('skynet.log')

RubySkynet::Client.connect('TutorialService') do |tutorial_service|
  p tutorial_service.call('AddOne', 'value' => 5)
end
```

### Architecture

ruby_skynet implements its own doozer client which has been tested against
the doozer fork: https://github.com/4ad/doozerd.
The doozer client uses the active [ruby_protobuf](https://github.com/macks/ruby-protobuf)
project for marshaling data for communicating with doozer

### Dependencies

- Ruby MRI 1.8.7 (or above), Ruby 1.9.3,  Or JRuby 1.6.3 (or above)
- [SemanticLogger](http://github.com/ClarityServices/semantic_logger)
- [ResilientSocket](http://github.com/ClarityServices/ruby_skynet)
- [ruby_protobuf](https://github.com/macks/ruby-protobuf)
- [multi_json](https://github.com/intridea/multi_json)

### Install

    gem install ruby_skynet

### Future

* Implement Skynet Service in Ruby so that it can be called from Go lang, etc.
* Immediately drop connections to a service on a host when that instance
  shuts down or stops. ( Doozer::Wait )
* More intelligent selection of available Skynet services. For example
  nearest, or looking at load etc.
