v5.2.1

This release updates dependencies, fixes some new lint issues, and updates the type definitions to reflect the removal of the persisters and synchronizers module from the master tinybase module.

v5.2.0

This release introduces new Persisters for... PostgreSQL! TinyBase now has two new Persister modules:

• The persister-postgres module provides the PostgresPersister, which uses the excellent postgres module to bind to regular PostgreSQL databases, generally on a server.
• The persister-pglite module provides the PglitePersister, which uses the new and exciting pglite module for running PostgreSQL... in a browser!

Conceptually, things behave in the same way as they do for the various SQLite persisters. Simply use the createPostgresPersister function (or the similar createPglitePersister function) to persist your TinyBase data:

import postgres from 'postgres';
import {createPostgresPersister} from 'tinybase/persisters/persister-postgres';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

// Create a TinyBase Store.
const store = createStore().setTables({pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}});

// Create a postgres connection and Persister.
const sql = postgres('postgres://localhost:5432/tinybase');
const pgPersister = await createPostgresPersister(store, sql, 'my_tinybase');

// Save Store to the database.
await pgPersister.save();

console.log(await sql`SELECT * FROM my_tinybase;`);
// -> [{_id: '_', store: '[{"pets":{"fido":{"species":"dog"}}},{}]'}]

And, as per usual, you can update the database and have TinyBase automatically reflect those changes:

// If separately the database gets updated...
const json = '[{"pets":{"felix":{"species":"cat"}}},{}]';
await sql`UPDATE my_tinybase SET store = ${json} WHERE _id = '_';`;

// ... then changes are loaded back. Reactive auto-load is also supported!
await pgPersister.load();
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {felix: {species: 'cat'}}}

// As always, don't forget to tidy up.
pgPersister.destroy();
await sql.end();

Note that these two Persister objects support both the json and tabular modes for saving TinyBase data into the database. See the DatabasePersisterConfig type for more details. (Note however that, like the SQLite Persisters, only the json mode is supported for MergeableStore instances, due to their additional CRDT metadata.)

Please provide feedback on this new release on GitHub!

v5.1.5

Updates peer dependencies, fixes resulting lints, and resolves #171.

v5.1.4

Updates peer dependencies and fixes #170.

v5.1.3

Updates peer dependencies

v5.1.2

Updates peer dependencies

v5.1.1

Updates peer dependencies, and lets you return a callback in the createPersisterForPath argument of the createWsServer function so that you can manipulate data on the server just after clients connect.

v5.1.0

This release lets you persist data on a server using the createWsServer function. This makes it possible for all clients to disconnect from a path, but, when they reconnect, for the data to still be present for them to sync with.

This is done by passing in a second argument to the createWsServer function that creates a Persister instance (for which also need to create or provide a MergeableStore) for a given path:

import {WebSocketServer} from 'ws';
import {createFilePersister} from 'tinybase/persisters/persister-file';
import {createMergeableStore} from 'tinybase';
import {createWsServer} from 'tinybase/synchronizers/synchronizer-ws-server';

const persistingServer = createWsServer(
  new WebSocketServer({port: 8051}),
  (pathId) => createFilePersister(createMergeableStore(), pathId + '.json'),
);

This is a very crude (and not production-safe!) example, but demonstrates a server that will create a file, based on any path that clients connect to, and persist data to it. See the createWsServer function documentation for more details.

This implementation is still experimental so please kick the tires!

There is one small breaking change in this release: the functions for creating Synchronizer objects can now take optional onSend and onReceive callbacks that will fire whenever messages pass through the Synchronizer. See, for example, the createWsSynchronizer function. These are suitable for debugging synchronization issues in a development environment.

v5.0.5

Addresses #161 and updates dependencies.
