synced-varhash

This is a package that keeps a local
observ-varhash in sync with a
CRDT Set.

![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/synced-varhash/)

![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/DamonOehlman/synced-varhash)

Why?

This is useful in the case that you have a front-end application written
using mercury (or similar) and you
want to keep a varhash in sync between a number of entities. The case that
I've used this with is WebRTC and it's pretty awesome :)

Example Usage

``js var Doc = require('crdt').Doc; var SyncedHash = require('synced-varhash'); var cuid = require('cuid');

// create two documents var docs = [new Doc(), new Doc()];

// create the hashes var hashes = docs.map(SyncedHash());

// create the replication streams var streams = docs.map(function(doc) { return doc.createStream(); });

// replicate between doc:0 and doc:1 streams[0].pipe(streams[1]).pipe(streams[0]);

// watch hash:1 for changes hashes1 { console.log('hash:1 changed: ', data); });

// add some docs to hash:0 setInterval(function() { hashes[0].put(cuid(), { tick: Date.now() }); }, 1000);

`Known Limitations`

While synced-varhashis capable of serializing nested observables (such asobserv-struct`) over a
CRDT, at this stage the deserialized data will be simple JS types on the
receiver ends. For this reason, it is recommended that only simple
data is serialized at this time.
