-# Using callbacks
+# Hooks and Events
+
+There are a many things you can hook into to manage your connections
 
-rpclibrary offers a special type of call that can be used with callbacks. The callback **has to be the last argument** and **may be the only passed function**. 
+```typescript
+new RPCServer(20001, [{
+    name: 'MyRPCGroup1',
+    exportRPCs: () => [
+        echo,
+        add,
+        getAsync,
+        {
+            name: 'getCallback',
+            hook: getCallback,
+            onClose: (response, rpc) => { /* client disconnected */ },
+            onCallback: (...callbackArgs) => { /* callback triggered */ }
+        }
+    ],
+}], {
+    visibility: '127.0.0.1', //0.0.0.0
+    closeHandler: (socket) => { /* global close handler */ },
+    connectionHandler: (socket) => { /* new connection made */ },
+    errorHandler: (socket, error, rpcname, argArr) => { /* An error occured inside a RPC */ },
+})
 
-In order to function, some metadata has to be included in the return value of hooks. On success, the function is expected to return a `{ result: 'Success', uuid: string }` (Types.SubscriptionResponse) or in case of errors a `{ result: 'Error' }`(Types.ErrorResponse).
+const sock = new RPCSocket(20001, 'localhost')
+sock.on('error', (e) => { /* handle error */ })
+sock.on('close', () => { /* handle close event */ })
 
-The uuid, as the name implies, is used to uniquely identify the callback for a given invocation and also dictates the name given to the client-side RPC. Unless you got a preferred way of generating these (e.g. using some kind of unique information important to your task) we recommend [uuid](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid) for this purpose. 
+sock.hook('RPCName', (/* arg0, arg1, ..., argN */) => { /* bind client-side RPCs */ }) 
+//Retrieve the socket from connectionHandler (Server-side) and trigger with 
+//socket.call('RPCName', arg0, arg1, ..., argN)
 
-You should unhook the client socket once you're done with it as not to cause security or control flow issues.
+sock.connect().then(_ => { /* ... */})
+
+```

-If you need to include further response data into your `SubscriptionResponse` you can extend it using the server's first generic parameter `SubResType`
+
+# Typescript support
+
+rpclibrary is a typescript-first project and offers full support for typing your RPCs.
+**NOTE** that your function implementations have to be currectly typed to make the compiler agree. 
+Explicit typing is recommended.
+
+Example:
+```typescript
+echo = (x) => x
+    /*becomes*/
+echo = (x:string) : string => x
+```
+
 
 ```typescript
-new RPCServer<{extension: string}>(port, [{
-    name: 'MyRPCGroup',
-    exportRPCs: ()  => [{
-        name: 'subscribe',
-        hook: async (callback) => {
-            return {
-                result: 'Success',
-                uuid: 'very_random_string',
-                extension: 'your_data_here' //tsc will demand this field
-            }
+type MyInterface = {

-#Experimental typing support
-It is possible to declare pseudo-interfaces for servers and clients by using server's second generic parameter.
-This feature is currently still in development and considered **unstable and untested**. Use with caution.
+
+# A class-based scalable pattern for APIs
+
+because long lists of functions quickly become unwieldy, it is smart to break up the RPCs into chunks or features.
+A pattern I found to be useful is as follows:
 
 ```typescript
-type MyInterface = { 
-    Group1: { 
-        triggerCallbacks: (...args:any[]) => Promise<void>,
-        subscribe: (param:string, callback:Function) => Promise<SubscriptionResponse<{a: string}>>,
-        unsubscribe: (uuid:string) => Promise<void>
-    },
-    Group2: {
-        echo: (x:string) => Promise<string>
+interface IMyImplementation {
+    echo: (x: string) => string
+    add: (a: number, b: number) => number
+    getAsync: () => Promise<{ topic: string, message: string }>
+    getCallback: (callback:Function) => string
+}
+
+type MyInterface = {
+    MyRPCGroup1: {
+        echo: IMyImplementation['echo']
+        add: IMyImplementation['add']
+        getAsync: IMyImplementation['getAsync']
+        getCallback: IMyImplementation['getCallback']
     }
 }
-```
-Create a client using
-```typescript
-RPCSocket.makeSocket<MyInterface>(port, host).then((async (client) => {
-    const r = await client.Group2.echo("hee") //tsc knows about available RPCs 
-}))
 
-/* OR */
+class MyImplementation implements IMyImplementation, RPCExporter<MyInterface>{
+    //"X" as "X" syntax is required to satisfy the type system (as it assumes string to be the true type)
+    name = "MyRpcGroup11" as "MyRPCGroup1"
 
-const client = new RPCSocket(port, host)
-client.connect<MyInterface>().then((async (client) => {
-    const r = await client.Group2.echo("hee") //tsc knows about available RPCs 
-})) 
-```
+    //List the functions you declared in MyInterface
+    exportRPCs = () => [
+        this.echo,
+        this.add,
+        this.getAsync,
+        this.getCallback
+    ]
+
+    //Write your implementations as you normally would
+    echo = (text: string) => text
+
+    add = (a: number, b: number) : number => a + b
+
+    getAsync = async () : Promise<{topic: string, message:string}>=> await new Promise((res, _) => {
+        setTimeout(() => {
+            res({
+                topic: "Hey!!",
+                message: "Hello World Async!"
+            })
+        }, 250)
+    })
+
+    getCallback = (callback: Function) : string => {
+        setTimeout(() => {
+            try{
+                callback({
+                    topic: "Hey!!",
+                    message: "Hello World Callback!"
+                })
+            }catch(e){
+                console.log(String(e))
+            }
+        }, 250)
+        return "Please wait for a callback :)"
+    }
+}
+
+type ProjectInterface = MyInterface
+                    //& MyOtherInterface
+                    //& MyOtherOtherInterface

+
+new RPCSocket<ProjectInterface>(20004, 'localhost').connect().then(async sock => {
+    // ...

-Create a server using
-```typescript
-new RPCServer<{a:string}, MyInterface>(port,
