Nested CRDT Tools

Provides tools to use with the nest-crdt package, implementing a MessageHandler (see CachedMessageHandler), which allows for different broadcasts (see MessageDistributor). Implementations for some broadcasts are also provided, which usually rely on a network (see Network), for which also exist some implementations.

Additionally, a wrapper for managing CRDTs is also provided, offering a simple interface to create or request CRDTs (see CRDTManager).

Broadcasts

Following broadcasts are implemented:

• Best-Effort-Broadcast (see BestEffortMessageDistributor)
• Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant Reliable-Broadcast (see ReliableMessageDistributor)
• Some other implementations, which allow for local distribution (see LocalMessageDistributor), or easier implementation of broadcast algorithms (see NetworkMessageDistributor), and an abstract implementation, which handles listeners (see GeneralMessageDistributor)

Networks

Following networks are implemented:

• TCPNetwork
• EncryptedTCPNetwork
• An HTTPNetwork can be found in the nest-crdt-tools-http package (segregated due to its reliance on express)

Example

A usage example can be found in the nest-crdt-example package.

Building

To build this project first run npm install to install the node libraries, then run npm run build, to invoke the TypeScript compiler.
