"private fields are not currently supported" error in browser about gentle_rpc

If methods could return async-iterators this would allow for things like live updated news or messaging feeds. Ideally, it would support both iterators of json-objects as well as iterators of Uint8Arrays for efficient binary applications.

It works using the file from client/dist/remote.js.

Thanks for reporting @retog . I will add a more browser compatible bundle in the next release. I will also minify it.

Just for the record, I run the deno bundle command with this tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "removeComments": true,
    "lib": ["esnext", "dom", "dom.iterable", "dom.asynciterable", "deno.ns"],
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "importsNotUsedAsValues": "preserve",
    "strict": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": false
  }
}

To make it compatible with older Safari versions I will run babel with the following babel.config.json. It transpiles classes and es-modules to compatible JavaScript.

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "@babel/env",
      {
        "modules": false
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"]
}

Then I will use terser to minify it.

The emitted JavaScript code will work in browsers going far back but I would welcome additional recommendations.

Thanks, @timonson!

I'm totally new to deno and haven't found out how client/dist/remote.js is generated. Using the pre-generated file the example seems to work.

Unrelated to this issue: do you plan on adding support for more type? Will a method like '() => { [Symbol.asyncIterator](): AsyncGenerator<{ hostname: string; addresses: string[]; }, void, unknown>; }'be supported?

[timonson]

Hi, I am definitely open to add abstractions. Unfortunately I am not sure if I understand your example/method correctly. Would you mind adding a little bit more context (what is the goal?) or an example to it? Thanks a lot!

In this folder are the compiled files. Only the http.js file supports legacy browsers. https://github.com/timonson/gentle_rpc/tree/master/client/dist
