Dispatcher

Description

Receives the data object from the dock, calls the registered input hooks and routes the data to the right handler. Similarly, when there's a response the dispatcher routes it to the right dock and executes the registered output hooks.

The dispatcher is the only piece of Iris that cannot be customized or swapped off - it's the glue that holds everything together.

Exposed Methods

• dispatch(data, callback) - Routes the data objects to the right handlers. If there's a callback coming fron the dock, the dispatcher passes it along to the thread pool to be executed if there's a response.
• respond(response) - Sends the responses to the right dock.

Events

Emits

• data - Triggered every time the dispatcher receives a new piece of data.
• dispatch - When a piece of data has been delivered to its handler.
• respond - Triggered when a response has ben sent to a dock.

Listens

• reload - Hot reloads every module in the threadpool when a change in any of them is detected. If the changed module is a dock, only stops and restarts that dock.
