Device Plugin

The device plugin provides a high-level interface to manage data storage on specific devices. Our goal is to propagate useful data on the device to avoid roundtrips and increase application performance. The propagation is controlled by each plugin, based on its needs. The device plugin will manage the connection with the device, through the websocket plugin.

Device Local Storage

Some plugins might want to store and sync data on all devices. This is achieved by sending subscriptions to the device for specific collection subset. When the device is connected, the plugin will make sure that the subscription is in sync and forward any incoming changes (like Meteor DDP).

createSubscription syncSubscription removeSubscription

The query is provided, with certain fields like deviceId, owner, userId being available to scope the collection.

The subscription can be applied to specific devices only by geolocation, by country, language, account level, etc.
