Detailed explanation of the use of JS multi-threaded runtime library Nexus.js

This time I will bring you a detailed explanation of the use of the JS multi-threaded runtime library Nexus.js. What are the precautions when using the JS multi-threaded runtime library Nexus.js. The following is a practical case. Let’s take a look.

First of all, if you are not familiar with this project, it is recommended to read a series of articles written before. If you don't want to read this, don't worry. That content will also be covered here.

Now, let's get started.

Last year, I started implementing Nexus.js, a multi-threaded server-side JavaScript runtime based on the Webkit/JavaScript kernel. I gave up on doing it for a while, for reasons beyond my control that I'm not going to discuss here, mainly: I couldn't bring myself to work for long periods of time.

So, let’s start by discussing the architecture of Nexus and how it works.

Event Loop

No event loop

Have a thread pool with (lockless) task objects

Each time setTimeout or setImmediate is called or a Promise is created, the task is queued to the task queue.

Whenever a task is scheduled, the first available thread will select the task and execute it.

Promises are handled on the CPU core. Calls to Promise.all() will resolve Promises in parallel.

ES6

Supports async/await and recommends using

Support for await(...)

Support deconstruction

Support async try/catch/finally

Module

CommonJS is not supported. (require(...) and module.exports)

All modules use ES6 import/export syntax

Support dynamic import through import('file-or-packge').then(...)

Support import.meta, such as: import.meta.filename and import.meta.dirname, etc.

Additional features: Supports importing directly from URL, for example:

import { h } from 'https://unpkg.com/preact/dist/preact.esm.js';

EventEmitter

Nexus implements the Promise-based EventEmitter class

Event processingThe program is sequenced on all threads and will be executed in parallel.

The return value of EventEmitter.emit(...) is a Promise, which can be parsed into an array of return values ​​in the event handler.

For example:

class EmitterTest extends Nexus.EventEmitter {
 constructor() {
  super();
  for(let i = 0; i  { console.log(`fired test ${i}!`); console.inspect(value); });
  for(let i = 0; i  `${v + i}`);
 }
}
const test = new EmitterTest();
async function start() {
 await test.emit('test', { payload: 'test 1' });
 console.log('first test done!');
 await test.emit('test', { payload: 'test 2' });
 console.log('second test done!');
 const values = await test.emit('returns-a-value', 10);
 console.log('third test done, returned values are:'); console.inspect(values);
}
start().catch(console.error);

I/O

All input/output is done through three primitives: Device, Filter and Stream.

All input/output primitives implement the EventEmitter class

To use Device, you need to create a ReadableStream or WritableStream

on top of Device To manipulate data, Filters can be added to a ReadableStream or WritableStream.

Finally, use source.pipe(...destinationStreams) and wait for source.resume() to process the data.

All input/output operations are done using ArrayBuffer objects.

Filter tried the process(buffer) method to process the data.

For example: Convert UTF-8 to UTF6 using 2 separate output files.

const startTime = Date.now();
 try {
  const device = new Nexus.IO.FilePushDevice('enwik8');
  const stream = new Nexus.IO.ReadableStream(device);
  stream.pushFilter(new Nexus.IO.EncodingConversionFilter("UTF-8", "UTF-16LE"));
  const wstreams = [0,1,2,3]
   .map(i => new Nexus.IO.WritableStream(new Nexus.IO.FileSinkDevice('enwik16-' + i)));
  console.log('piping...');
  stream.pipe(...wstreams);
  console.log('streaming...');
  await stream.resume();
  await stream.close();
  await Promise.all(wstreams.map(stream => stream.close()));
  console.log(`finished in ${(Date.now() * startTime) / 1000} seconds!`);
 } catch (e) {
  console.error('An error occurred: ', e);
 }
}
start().catch(console.error);

TCP/UDP

Nexus.js provides an Acceptor class, which is responsible for binding ip addresses/ports and listening for connections

Every time a connection request is received, the connection event is triggered and a Socket device is provided.

Each Socket instance is a full-duplex I/O device.

You can use ReadableStream and WritableStream to operate Socket.

The most basic example: (Send "Hello World" to the client)

const acceptor = new Nexus.Net.TCP.Acceptor();
let count = 0;
acceptor.on('connection', (socket, endpoint) => {
 const connId = count++;
 console.log(`connection #${connId} from ${endpoint.address}:${endpoint.port}`);
 const rstream = new Nexus.IO.ReadableStream(socket);
 const wstream = new Nexus.IO.WritableStream(socket);
 const buffer = new Uint8Array(13);
 const message = 'Hello World!\n';
 for(let i = 0; i  console.log(`got message: ${buffer}`));
 rstream.resume().catch(e => console.log(`client #${connId} at ${endpoint.address}:${endpoint.port} disconnected!`));
 console.log(`sending greeting to #${connId}!`);
 wstream.write(buffer);
});
acceptor.bind('127.0.0.1', 10000);
acceptor.listen();
console.log('server ready');

Http

Nexus provides a Nexus.Net.HTTP.Server class, which basically inherits TCPAcceptor

Some basic interfaces

当服务器端完成了对传入连接的基本的Http头的解析/校验时，将使用连接和同样的信息触发connection事件

每一个连接实例都又一个request和一个response对象。这些是输入/输出设备。

你可以构造ReadableStream和WritableStream来操纵request/response。

如果你通过管道连接到一个Response对象，输入的流将会使用分块编码的模式。否者，你可以使用response.write()来写入一个常规的字符串。

复杂例子：（基本的Http服务器与块编码，细节省略）
