Cannot pass ArrayObjects over json-rpc

[zo-el]

Currently while passing Buffers and UInt8Arrays over json-rpc changes the type into an object as mentioned bellow
For Buffers

{ type: "Buffer", data: [120, 32, 45] }

or For Uint8Arrays

{"0": 120, "1": 32, "2": 45}

This causes an issues when sending a zomeCall that expects a HoloHash/Uint8Array: #73

[zo-el]

Current Solution:

Updated the payload for zomeCall to be encoded on the web-sdk and decoded on holo-envoy.

• msg.encode a zomeCall args web-sdk#28
• msgpack.decode zomeCall args  #75

Also, note that we still cannot pass buffers so update the UI to have Uint8Arrays instead

• Update buffers to Uint8arrays in holo case holochain/elemental-chat-ui#61

Solution:

Update to use msgpack instead of json-rpc.

• Note keep a track of the data-translator as well because that could be causing issues

Development branch has updated to use msgpack instead of json-rpc

holo-envoy/src/index.ts

Line 16 in 7a8ad4c

const msgpack = require('@msgpack/msgpack');

I think we can close this issue.
