sharedb-client-browser

A distribution of the ShareDB client suitable for use in Vite, Rollup and other build tools that do not have built-in support for CommonJS and Node polyfills. Uses the venerable Browserify.

There are 3 UMD builds provided:

- sharedb-client-umd.cjs Just the ShareDB client
- ot-json1-presence-umd.cjs Includes ot-json1 and text-unicode (both exposed to avoid duplication of text-unicode in a bundle where application logic needs direct access to it)
- ot-json1-umd.cjs Includes ot-json1 and text-unicode

In order to work properly, the consuming

The consuming project needs to put the following in the Vite config (modify depending on which builds you need):

``
// Required to have Vite properly handle these CommonJS imports
optimizeDeps: {
include: [
'sharedb-client-browser/dist/sharedb-client-umd.cjs',
'sharedb-client-browser/dist/ot-json1-presence-umd.cjs'
]
},
``
