Sail the high seas with ScuttleBoat

Like Scuttlebucket, but allows for dynamically adding records later

var ScuttleBoat = require('scuttleboat')
var Model = require('scuttlebutt/model')


// Define sub-document constructor types

opts = {
  constructors: {
    Model: Model,
  },
}


// Setup ScuttleBoats

A = new ScuttleBoat(opts)
B = new ScuttleBoat(opts)

var as = A.createStream()
var bs = B.createStream()

as.pipe(bs).pipe(as)


// Dynamically add sub-documents

aMeta = A.add('meta', 'Model')
aMeta.set('a',9)


// Subdocuments are created and synced

setTimeout(function(){

  console.log( B.get('meta').get('a') ) // => 9

}, 200)

API

Add a sub-document to the boat. The sub-document instance will be created automatically. Provide:

• the key (string)
• the type from the list of constructors (string)
• an (optional) argument to instantiate the instance with. Argument must be serializable. Cannot provide more than one initialization argument.

boat.add(key, type, opts)

Get a list of all subdocs

boat.list() //=> {key1: subdoc1, key2: subdoc2, ...}

Clone a scuttleboat instance

boat.clone()

Listen for new subdocs

boat.on('create', function(key, subdoc){ /* ... */ })
