createWsServerSimple

The createWsServerSimple function creates a WsServerSimple that facilitates synchronization between clients that are using WsSynchronizer instances.

createWsServerSimple(webSocketServer: WebSocketServer): WsServerSimple
TypeDescription
webSocketServerWebSocketServer

A WebSocketServer object from your server environment.

returnsWsServerSimple

A reference to the new WsServerSimple object.

This should be run in a server environment, and you must pass in a configured WebSocketServer object in order to create it.

The core functionality is equivalent to the WsServer interface, but without the complications of listeners, persistence, or statistics. This makes it more suitable to be used as a reference implementation for other server environments.

Example

This example creates a WsServerSimple that synchronizes two clients on a shared path.

import {WebSocketServer} from 'ws';
import {createMergeableStore} from 'tinybase';
import {createWsServerSimple} from 'tinybase/synchronizers/synchronizer-ws-server-simple';
import {createWsSynchronizer} from 'tinybase/synchronizers/synchronizer-ws-client';

// Server
const server = createWsServerSimple(new WebSocketServer({port: 8053}));

// Client 1
const clientStore1 = createMergeableStore();
clientStore1.setCell('pets', 'fido', 'species', 'dog');
const synchronizer1 = await createWsSynchronizer(
  clientStore1,
  new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8053/petShop'),
);
await synchronizer1.startSync();
// ...

// Client 2
const clientStore2 = createMergeableStore();
clientStore2.setCell('pets', 'felix', 'species', 'cat');
const synchronizer2 = await createWsSynchronizer(
  clientStore2,
  new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8053/petShop'),
);
await synchronizer2.startSync();
// ...

console.log(clientStore1.getTables());
// -> {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}, felix: {species: 'cat'}}}

console.log(clientStore2.getTables());
// -> {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}, felix: {species: 'cat'}}}

synchronizer1.destroy();
synchronizer2.destroy();
server.destroy();
