As a developer, I want to do synchronisation

Open friedger opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

There should be a convenient way to do synchronisation of a file. How to manage the sync state?

Is synchronisation out of the scope of the SDK?

What do you mean by synchronization? Syncing only changes between a local file and a remote file? Like rsync?

Yes, syncing between a local and remote file.

When I put a file into gaia storage I want to know whether it has changed from a different device. And I have to fetch it first and merge the local changes before putting the file.

For Android's content provider and PWA's local storage this is a common use case.

The proposal API in https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack.js/issues/702 will help here.
