callite is a lightweight Remote Procedure Call (RPC) implementation over Redis, designed to facilitate communication between different components of a distributed system. It minimizes dependencies and offers a simple yet effective solution for decoupling complex systems, thus alleviating potential library conflicts.

Before using callite, ensure you have a Redis instance running. You can start a Redis server using the default settings or configure it as per your requirements.

To implement the Callite server, follow these steps:

1. Import the RPCService class from server.rpc_server.
2. Define your main class and initialize the RPC service with the Redis URL and service name.
3. Register your functions with the RPC service using the register decorator.
4. Run the RPC service indefinitely.

Here's an example server implementation:

from callite.server import RPCService


class Main:
    def __init__(self):
        service = "service"
        redis_url = "redis://redis:6379/0"
        self.rpc_service = RPCService(redis_url, 'my_service')

    def run(self):
        @self.rpc_service.register
        def healthcheck():
            return "OK"

        @self.rpc_service.register
        def foo(paramX, paramY):
            // Do something with paramX and paramY
            return "OK"

        
        self.rpc_service.run_forever()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Main().run()

Once the server is set up, you can call functions remotely from the client side. Follow these steps to call functions:

1. Import the RPCClient class from client.rpc_client.
2. Define your client class and initialize the RPC client with the Redis URL and service name.
3. Call the function using the execute method of the RPC client.
4. Optionally, you can pass arguments and keyword arguments to the function.

Here's an example client implementation:

import time
from callite.client.rpc_client import RPCClient


class Healthcheck():
    def __init__(self):
        self.r = RPCClient("redis://redis:6379/0", "my_service")

    def get_status(self):
        status = self.r.execute('healthcheck')
        return status

    def foo(self. paramX, paramY):
        response = self.r.execute('foo', paramX = paramX, paramY = paramY)
        return status

You can also pass arguments and keyword arguments to the execute method as follows:

client = RPCClient('redis://localhost:6379', 'my_service')
...
...
response = client.execute('foo', 1, 2)

This setup allows for efficient communication between components of a distributed system, promoting modularity and scalability.
