Function tfetch

Similar to the Web standard fetch API, this function enables asynchronous transfer of remote tensors.

Example

The function can be used with the await keyword:

// input and output at once
const i = sm.randn([128])
const t = await sm.network.tfetch('localhost:3000', i)

// no expected return value
await sm.network.tfetch('localhost:3000', i)

// no input
const t = await sm.network.tfetch('localhost:3000')

or with a chained callbacks:

sm.network.tfetch('localhost:3000', i).then((t) => {
  // t is a tensor or null
  if (t) {
    console.log(t.shape)
  }
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log('hit an error retrieving this tensor...')
})

Returns

A tensor from the remote location or null (if the response is empty)
