Other installations

Telefunc can be used in any JavaScript environment without using a transformer but, for improved convenience, we recommend using a transformer plugin if possible.

Telefunc plugins transform *.telefunc.js browser-side imports into a thin HTTP client.

Without transformer

Without TypeScript:

// TodoList.js
// Environment: Browser
 
import { defineTelefunction } from 'telefunc/client'
const onNewTodo = defineTelefunction('TodoList.telefunc.js', 'onNewTodo')
 
async function onClick(form) {
  const text = form.input.value
  // Exactly as usual
  await onNewTodo({ text })
}

With TypeScript:

// TodoList.ts
// Environment: Browser
 
import { defineTelefunction } from 'telefunc/client'
import type { onNewTodo as onNewTodoType } from './TodoList.telefunc.ts'
const onNewTodo = defineTelefunction<typeof onNewTodoType>('TodoList.telefunc.ts', 'onNewTodo')
 
async function onClick(form) {
  const text = form.input.value
  // Exactly as usual, including TypeScript support
  await onNewTodo({ text })
}

This feature is not implemented yet, reach out on Discord or GitHub if you need this.

Vite plugin

If we use Vite, we can transform *.telefunc.js files by using the Telefunc's Vite plugin:

// vite.config.js
 
import { telefunc } from 'telefunc/vite'
 
export default {
  plugins: [telefunc()]
}

Webpack plugin

If we use webpack, we can transform *.telefunc.js files by using the Telefunc's webpack plugin:

// webpack.config.js
 
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
     { test: /\.telefunc\./, use: 'telefunc/webpack/loader' }
    ]
  }
}

Babel plugin

Telefunc's Babel plugin is work-in-progress.

Reach out on Discord or GitHub if you want to use the Babel plugin.
