rpc call with named parameters

[0x80]

Hi,

I recently started using your jsonrpc module. I am wondering if there
is a way to call methods with named parameters, and also methods
without an id like notifications.

I got these examples from the jsonrpc 2.0 specs:

rpc call with named parameters:

--> {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"subtrahend":
23, "minuend": 42}, "id": 3}
<-- {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 19, "id": 3}

--> {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"minuend": 42,
"subtrahend": 23}, "id": 4}
<-- {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 19, "id": 4}
a Notification:

--> {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "update", "params": [1,2,3,4,5]}
--> {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "foobar"}


In particular I'd like to use the named parameters. I tried passing in
an object instead of an array like this:

client.call('objectStraight', {foo:"bar", evil:666});

But this results in an error:

TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'join'

Is it possible with the current implementation?

Is anyone reading this list?

Sorry for the late reply! The feature you mentioned doesn't exist in our
jsonrpc package, but we'd be happy to accept a patch.

Ok thanks. I will have to live without it for now then. I don't have
time to get into this.

Cheers,
