SyncProxy-client is a javascript client for SyncProxy that enables one-single line of code implementation of synchronization for javascript offline applications using embedded database (IndexedDB, SQLite, SQLJS, WebSQL, LokiJS...). Used with the SyncProxy server (https://www.syncproxy.com) to access the backend database (MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB...), this is the shortest way to make mobile offline applications synchronize bi-directionally in realtime using reactive sync technology.
$ git clone https://github.com/syncproxy/sync-client
Simply copy the library, then load the SyncProxy client script from within your main index.html page:
<script src="sync-client/sync-client.js" proxyID="<proxy Id>" connectorType="IndexedDB / WebSQL / SQLite / SQLJS / IonicStorage" dbName="your client db name"></script>
(the script params can also be retrieved directly from https://my.syncproxy.com when creating a sync proxy)
Sync client script can be invoked with custom params that are inserted as attributes of the <script> tag:
src (mandatory)
path to the client sync script (recommended: "client-sync/client-sync.js")
proxyID (mandatory)
Id attributed by SyncProxy to your proxy on creation
connectorType
values: "IndexedDB", "WebSQL", "SQLite", "SQLJS", "LocalStorage", "IonicStorage", "LokiJS"
default: "IndexedDB"
dbName
Name of your embedded database in mobile app.
default: "SyncProxy"
protocol
values: "ws" (websocket) or "wss" (secured websoket)
default: "wss"
serverUrl
Url of the server hosting SyncProxy
default: "my.syncproxy.com"
serverPort
Port listened on by SyncProxy server
default value: 4501
autoUpgradeDB
values: "true", "false"
If true, the embedded database's structure will be automatically upgraded (if this is relevant to the type of database) during sync after a database schema update.
Set to false if application creates and upgrades database schema by itself.
default: "true"
physicalSchemaReadDelay
Delay after which, if no sync schema was found, the sync client will try to read the schema from the physical data store (if this is relevant to the type of database).
If set to "0", the schema is not read from the physical data store.
default: "5000"
autoInit
values: "true", "false"
If true, sync client will be started automatically. If false, sync client should be created by calling SyncClient.initClient(params)
default: "true"
reactiveSync
values: "true", "false"
If true, enables reactive sync. Reactivity for each table + direction (server->client and client->server) is configured on server side
default: "true
syncButton
values: "true", "fixed", "false"
If true, a draggable popup sync button is displayed. If fixed, button's position is fixed. If false, application must take care to launch sync by itself
default: "true"
tablesToSync
When using Auto Backendless database or NoSQL database without server database schema, you have the ability to discover schema from client's data. In that case, attribute tablesToSync must be set with the list of tables to sync from client to server.
default: ""
customCredentials
If set, defines a custom credential function. Typically returns a {login, password} object which will be sent as-is to the server. If left blank, the credentials are managed by sync client using a login prompt.
default: ""
loginSource
If set, defines a user login source object within the application, for instance: "document.getElementById('inputLogin').value"
default: ""
passwordSource
If set, defines a user password source object within the application, for instance: "document.getElementById('inputPassword').value"
default: ""
zipData
values: "true", "false"
If true, server will be requested to send data changes as zipped JSON, otherwise plain JSON.
default: "true"
welcomeMessage
Message that will popup in the app before the first synchronization.
default: "To begin, please press Sync button"
utcDates
values: "true", "false"
If true (default), all datetimes will be stored as ISO-8601 strings, otherwise as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS" (without timezone information).
default: "true"
onServerChanges(data)
Optional handler function called each time a chunk of data is received from server. Received data are passed as a parameter.
onSyncEnd
Optional handler function called each time synchronization ends
useSessionStorage
values: "true", "false"
If true, use the sessionStorage in replacement of the localStorage (for testing purposes)
Default: "false"
