Re: [aerogear-dev] Big picture questions around the PipeManager and the DatastoreManager

Hello Guys I jumped into the discussion because I'm working on similar topic for 3musket33rs html-grails-plugin. And I would like to share my thoughts with you. See code for Grails plugin here https://github.com/3musket33rs/html5-mobile-scaffolding or an example of implementation (if you just wan tto se the js) https://github.com/corinnekrych/tagmyfriends/tree/master/web-app/js My design is similar I called Feed what you have named Pipeline.Feed can be online or offline and I've implemented a first draft of synchronization. Model is more or less equivalent to your StoreManager. Main differences I see is: 1. I've chosen to decouple with MVC pattern as I needed to identify what need to be generated by Grails plugin.

For ex, in my example app the generated part is https://github.com/corinnekrych/tagmyfriends/tree/master/web-app/js/tagmy... There is a bunch of js libraries (backbone, angular etc...) to do this and I might propose an easy way to plug the chosen fwk.

Looking at your TODO app I think it would be nice to decouple the view

2. Not sure how you're thinking on introducing Sync in your code, is it going to be another adapters of DataManager?

3. Are you going to provide multi-user synch?

Tell me your views... ++ Corinne.

A store handles client side data manipulation. We purposefully separated them. Then the app dev can either manage when and how they use each or they can use SyncManager to handle a lot of it for them. I don't see the benefit of duplicating functionality of DataManager in Pipeline or vice versa.

I think that is what DataManager does. As for the event driven model for connecting and syncing a pipe to a store, I am already working on that on the JS side. Check out SyncManager in https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/tree/SyncManager. There is still a lot to do and I have more code locally but it's a start. > > On Oct 26, 2012, at 7:56 AM, Sebastien Blanc <scm.blanc(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > >> Hi all ! >> I was looking at the all different documentation pages and FAQ, and some questions and ideas araise : >> >> 1) A PipeManager can contains 'n' pipes, is there any plan to be able to chain pipes together (i.e : "localPipe -> restPipe") ?
