drah-project

drah allows you to write functions that are run in another environment with minimal setup.

From a development side, it means you can execute a function that is written in another environment. It's also got great typescript support.

Example usage with figma

This example shows setting a server and client to allow the ui to use functions in the main.

In practice we have an additional server and client which allows the main to use functions in the ui, it's much the same, but with the figma message apis switched.

Setup server in main

// file in main

function getCurrentPageName() {
    const name = figma.currentPage.name;
    return name;
}

export const mainDrahServer = new DrahServer({
    handlers: {
        getCurrentPageName,
    },
    sendToClient: (message: string) => {
        figma.ui.postMessage({
            type: 'from-main-drah-server',
            data: message,
        });
    },
});

export type MainDrahServerActions = ExtractActionsFromServer<typeof mainDrahServer>;

figma.ui.onmessage = async function handleMessage(pluginMessage) {
    if (pluginMessage.type === 'from-main-drah-client') {
        mainDrahServer.receiveFromClient(pluginMessage.data);
    }
};

Setup client in ui

// file in ui
import type { MainDrahServerActions } from ' ..path to main drah server.. '

export const mainDrahClient = getRichDrahClient<MainDrahServerActions>({
    sendToServer: (serializedData) => window.parent.postMessage({ pluginMessage: { type: 'from-main-drah-client', data: serializedData } }, '*'),
});

window.onmessage = async (event: MessageEvent<any>) => {
    if (event.data.pluginMessage.type === 'from-main-drah-server') {
        mainDrahClient.receiveFromServer(event.data.pluginMessage.data);
    }
};

Call functions that are in main from ui code

// any file in ui
async function demo() {
    const currentPageName = await mainDrahClient.getCurrentPageName();
}

Packages

drah-client: package which provides the mechanism to run functions on the server.
drah-server: package which runs functions on the server in response to client calls.

Setting up a drah-server and drah-client

To setup a new action service, you need to do some setup on both the processor and client

drah-server

The server environment requires:

A DrahServer setup with:
- handlers for actions you want to provide to clients (via constructor option handlers)
- a mechanism to send responses back to the client (via constructor option sendToClient)
The DrahServer configured to receive requests from the client (via class method receiveFromClient)

Example

note: this example contains the following two placeholder functions that you need to implement.

sendMessageToClient: function which sends messsages to the client environment
onMessagefromClient: subscription which fires it's callback on messages from a client environment

import { DrahServer } from 'drah-server';

const drahServer = new DrahServer({
    handlers: {
        // While the functions here can be sync or async,
        // in the client the corresponding function will
        // always be async.
        getAnswer: (options: { answerFor: string }) => 42,
    },
    sendToClient: (message: string) => sendMessageToClient(serializedData),
});
onMessagefromClient(function (message: string) => drahServer.receiveFromClient(message));

drah-client

The client environment requires:

A DrahClient setup with:
- a mechanism to send actions to the processor (via constructor option sendToServer)
The DrahClient configured to receive responses from the processor (via class method receiveFromServer)

Example 1. DrahClient

note: this example contains the following two placeholder functions that you need to implement.

sendMessageToServer: function which sends messsages to the server environment
onMessagefromServer: subscription which fires it's callback on messages from a server environment

import { DrahClient } from 'drah-client';

const drahClient = new DrahClient<ActionProcessorHandlers>({
    sendToServer: (serializedData) => sendMessageToServer(serializedData),
});
onMessagefromServer((message: string) => drahClient.receiveFromServer(event.data));

const answer = await drahClient.process('getAnswer', {
    answerFor: 'Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything',
});
// answer will be 42

Example 2. getRichDrahClient

The getRichDrahClient returns a DrahClient instance with a proxy setup to allow calling handlers directly on the drahClient.

note: this example contains the following two placeholder functions that you need to implement.

sendMessageToServer: function which sends messsages to the server environment
onMessagefromServer: subscription which fires it's callback on messages from a server environment

import { DrahClient } from 'drah-client';

const drahClient = new DrahClient<ActionProcessorHandlers>({
    sendToServer: (serializedData) => sendMessageToServer(serializedData),
});
onMessagefromServer((message: string) => drahClient.receiveFromServer(event.data));

const answer = await drahClient.getAnswer({
    answerFor: 'Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything',
});
// answer will be 42
