level-airplanedb
This module allows you to work offline in the browser using indexdb (+ shim for websql when indexdb not available).
You get a sync method in browserified client to write to the server. The server gets a sync method that returns a readstream of the changelog after the given timestamp.
Example client
var levelup = ;var leveljs = ;var airplanedb = ;var db = ;db = ;// sync range// any keys in local changelog will be written to the server// any keys from remotedb will be synced to clientdb;// changes to local db will be written to changelog removed when synced.
Example server
var levelup = ;var leveldown = ;var airplanedb = ;var db = ;db = ;db // readstream of changelog >= from
Background
In the spirit of offline first I wanted a working offline storage, giving me the choice when to sync saving battery usage.
level-sublevel is used to persist the changelog both on client and server.
See test/simple.js for a client server example using :-
multilevel - leveldb over network
level-js - leveldown api in the browser
Gotchas
This is a work in progress, conflicts are not handled at all! The client's changelog is what is written to the server.
Updating keys in the same range as a running sync is not supported, doing this will incur loss of data.
