This code imports modules and functions from a parent directory, sets up event listeners, and defines functions for initializing and responding to incoming messages in a meta kernel. The code exports the main functions (replMetaKernal, do_respond, and do_init) to be used elsewhere in the program.

Run example

npm run import -- "TODO: repl process kernel"

TODO: repl process kernel

var importer = require('../Core');
var {processMetaKernel} = processMethods = importer.import("process meta kernel")

function do_init(config) {
    processMethods.do_init.call(this, config);
    this.socket.stdout.on('data', this.do_respond);
    this.socket.stderr.on('data', this.do_respond);
}

function do_respond(message) {

/* TODO: streams
{stdout: {
    name: stream,
    text: text,
}})
*/
    // TODO: 
    // TODO: call reply methods
    // no need to call socketMethods.do_respond again!
}

function replMetaKernal(meta_kernel) {
    var meta = interface(meta_kernel, metaKernelInterface);
    var kernel = extend(meta, {
        do_respond,
        do_init
    })
    return processMetaKernel(kernel);

}

module.exports = {
    replMetaKernal,
    do_respond,
    do_init
}

// Import required modules
const { importModule } = require('../Core');
const { processMetaKernel } = importModule('process meta kernel');

// Define the event listener for initialization
function doInit(config) {
  processMethods.do_init.call(this, config);
  this.socket.stdout.on('data', message => this.doRespond(message));
  this.socket.stderr.on('data', message => this.doRespond(message));
}

// Define the event listener for responding to messages
function doRespond(message) {
  /**
   * Handle incoming messages from the stream
   * @param {string} message - The incoming message
   */
  const { stdout } = message;
  if (stdout) {
    const { name, text } = stdout;
    if (name ==='stream') {
      // Handle stream messages
      console.log(`Received stream message: ${text}`);
    } else {
      // Handle other types of messages
      console.log(`Received message: ${text}`);
    }
  }
}

// Define the meta kernel replacer function
function replMetaKernel(metaKernel) {
  const meta = interface(metaKernel, metaKernelInterface);
  const kernel = extend(meta, {
    doRespond,
    doInit,
  });
  return processMetaKernel(kernel);
}

module.exports = {
  replMetaKernel,
  doRespond,
  doInit,
};

Code Breakdown

Variables and Imports

• var importer = require('../Core'): Imports a module from a parent directory (../Core) and assigns it to the importer variable.
• var {processMetaKernel} = processMethods = importer.import('process meta kernel'): Imports the processMetaKernel function from the processMethods object, which is imported from the parent directory. The processMethods object is assigned to the processMethods variable and the processMetaKernel function is extracted and assigned to the current scope.

Functions

• function do_init(config): Initializes the object by calling processMethods.do_init with the provided config and setting up event listeners for the stdout and stderr events of the socket object. When data is received, it calls the do_respond method.
• function do_respond(message): Handles incoming messages and is intended to be overridden by a stream (as indicated by TODO comments). Currently, it does nothing.
• function replMetaKernal(meta_kernel): Creates a meta kernel by:
  1. Calling the interface function to create a meta object based on a meta kernel interface.
  2. Extending the meta object with the do_respond and do_init functions.
  3. Calling processMetaKernel with the resulting kernel object.

Exports

• module.exports = {replMetaKernal, do_respond, do_init}: Exports the replMetaKernal, do_respond, and do_init functions as part of the module's exports.
