Re: [aerogear-dev] [iOS] Simple draft of HTTP API to talk to ag-sync server

well, i've hacked something together for js here in this branch: https://github.com/lholmquist/aerogear-js/tree/AGJS-124 it is in no way complete, just some idea's. to run the tests here, you need to have dan's server running. i'm currently trying out https://github.com/benjamine/JsonDiffPatch to do the diff/patching during an update conflict, Here is a quick and dirty API that i was thinking could be a start, for JS at least // Create a New Data Sync Object var dataSync = AeroGear.DataSync( { syncServerUrl: "http://localhost:8080" } ); /* possibly more options here, like "auto-merge" options = { syncServerUrl: "link_to_sync_server", autoMerge: false, //optional, defaults to false? Not sure this is the right spot for this, maybe should be in the update call otheroptions: .... } */ // Probably have 3 Methods: read, save( Update ), remove // each one has 2 parameters, the "document" and the settings /* The document here is an object defined like in qmx's sync thought dump var document = { id: "123sjf2-i", content: { // Some Arbitrary JSON or an array or something serializable into JSON }, rev: "SOME_REVISION_ID" // or rev_id or revision or revision_id, we can argue over names later } */ dataSync.read( document, settings ); /* --READ-- var settings = { success: function( document ){}, // GET the document error: function( error ){} // an error happened GETting the document, like it can't be found or something } */ dataSync.save( document, settings ); /* --Save-- document can be either an array or an object if whatever is passed is in the form of the document specifed above, then save works as an "update" var settings: { autoMerge: // not sure if this should be here or in the constructor success: function( document ){} // successful PUT to create the document or update the document, conflict: function( error, current_model_from_server, delta_of_current_server_model_and_local_document ) // this delta thing should be nice and user friendly or something SOME_OTHER_SPECIFIC_CALLBACK: function(){}, // Maybe other callbacks for specific events error: function( error ){} // an error happened, catch-all ? } */ dataSync.remove( document, settings ); /* TBD */ On Jan 13, 2014, at 11:56 AM, Matthias Wessendorf <matzew(a)apache.org&gt; wrote:
