pouch-replicate-webrtc

Replicate a PouchDB over a WebRTC DataChannel, for NodeJS and the Browser.

About

By using a WebRTC DataChannel, we can share data between browsers without storing the data on a centralized server.

Uses pouchdb-replication-stream for replicating PouchDB data.

Install

This library can be used both on Serverside and on Clientside.

On Serverside, using NodeJS

$ npm install --save pouch-replicate-webrtc

On Clientside

You can import the pouch-replicate-webrtc.min.js from the dist folder.

Alternatively, you can user Bower to install it:

Usage

Example using rtc-quickconnect:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
var PouchReplicator = require('pouch-replicate-webrtc');
var quickconnect = require('rtc-quickconnect');

var pouchDb = new PouchDB('myDb');
var replicator = new PouchReplicator('replicator', pouchDb, {batch_size: 50});

replicator.on('endpeerreplicate', function() {
  console.log('received data from replication');
});

quickconnect('https://switchboard.rtc.io/', { room: 'qc-simple-demo' })
  .createDataChannel('replication')
  .on('channel:opened:replication', function(id, dc) {
    replicator.addPeer(id, dc);
    replicator.replicate();
  });
