Welcome to the Tilde Friends API documentation.

 * [App Globals](#App_Globals)
 * [Database Interface](#Database)
 * [Remote Procedure Calls](#tfrpc)

<a id="App_Globals"></a>
## <span style="color: #aaf">App Globals</span>
The following are functions and values exposed to all apps in their \`app.js\` or \`handler.js\`.  Most
of these are asynchronous, returning a \`Promise\` that will be resolved when the call completes, unless
noted otherwise.

This is all a work in progess. These are liable to change without warning.  Feedback is welcome.

The exposed functions in this API balance multiple competing needs:
 * The surface area of the exposed API ought to be fairly minimal.  If something can be implemented entirely app-side, that is
   generally preferred over building it into the core.
 * Everything is built on this API.  Ideally the admin app, the SSB app, and the editor all use standard API exposed to all
   apps, with appropriate permission guards in place making it so that only trusted apps do potentially destructive operations.
   There will be some things here that aren't necessarily general use to support what's required.

If you are looking at the [Tilde Friends source code](https://www.tildefriends.net/~cory/releases/),
the vast majority of these are implemented in \`src/*.js.c\` files, and exposed to apps via \`core/core.js\`.

docs.tfrpc = `
# <span style="color: #aaf" id="tfrpc">tfrpc</span>
\`tfrpc.js\` is a small helper script that is available to be used to facilitate communication between parts of an application.

\`tfrpc.js\` can be used to asynchronously make calls between the app code running in a sandboxed iframe in the browser
and the app process on the server.

From \`app.js\`:
\`\`\`
import * as tfrpc from '/tfrpc.js';
\`\`\`


From script running in the browser:
\`\`\`
import * as tfrpc from '/static/tfrpc.js';
\`\`\`

Either side can register or call functions, though they must be registered before they can be called.  Arguments and return
values are ultimately serialized by means that attempt to preserve most JSON-serializable values as well as functions themselves.
`;

docs['tfrpc.register()'] = `
Register a function, allowing it to be called remotely.
### Parameters
 * *Function* **function** The function to register.  Its name will be how it will be called.
`;

docs['tfrpc.rpc.*()'] = `
Call a remote function.
### Parameters
 * **...** Parameters to pass to the function.
### Returns
The return value of the called function.
