pouchdb-hoodie-sync

Hoodie-like sync API for PouchDB

This PouchDB plugin provides simple methods to keep two databases in sync.

Usage

// Initialisation
var db = new PouchDB('dbname')
var api = db.hoodieSync({
  // remote can be
  // - local db name
  // - remote URL
  // - PouchDB instance
  // - a promise that resolves to one of the 3 above
  remote: 'http://example.com/mydb',
  // pass own EventEmitter instance if you want,
  // otherwise creates its own
  emitter: emitter
})

// starts / stops continuous replication
api.connect()
api.disconnect()
api.isConnected()

// resolve with pulled docs[]
api.pull()
api.pull([doc1, id2])

// resolve with pushed docs[]
api.push()
api.push([doc1, id2])

// resolve with synced docs[]
api.sync()
api.sync([doc1, id2])

// events
api.on('pull', function(doc) {})
api.on('push', function(doc) {})
api.on('connect', function() {})
api.on('disconnect', function() {})

If you need to customise the request to the server, e.g. set custom header for authorisation, you can use PouchDB.defaults{ajax}:

var MyPouch = PouchDB.defaults({
  ajax: {
    headers: {
      authorization: 'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l'
    }
  }
})
