Terve Sync

Terve means "hello" in Finnish.

This is an experimental library by Jamon Holmgren which allows for synchronization of MobX-State-Tree stores (and possibly others in the future) via an Elixir/Phoenix server I'm calling "Terve Server".

Do you need this?

Are you:

• Using MobX-State-Tree
• Wanting to synchronize your store(s) across many devices
• Not wanting to have to build it all yourself

... then you might find this useful.

Usage

1. Sign up for a Terve Server account (coming soon)
2. Get an API key (coming soon)
3. Add the library to your client (yarn add terve-sync)
4. Add this to any MST store you want to synchronize:

const SynchronizedStore = types.model("SynchronizedStore", { ... })
  .views(...)
  .actions(...)
  .extend(
    withTerveSync({
      apiKey: "some-api-key"
    }),
  )

Caveats

Since this is an experiment I built in a weekend, I haven't implemented a lot of things that you'd want with a production service.

• No authorization
• No server-side validations -- just rebroadcasts whatever it's sent, to everyone on the channel
• No server-side throttling
• Since this is pretty much client-driven (like Firestore), it would be very easy for someone to hack their client and cheat in their game or hack messages or whatever
• Use at your own risk!
