Collaborative Editing the EASY way.
This module uses Commutative Replicated Data Structures, NO Operational Transforms.
see A commutative replicated data type for cooperative editing
and Logoot: a Scalable Optimistic Replication Algorithm for Collaborative P2P Networks
see r-edit/example
//client.js
var REdit = require('r-edit')
var r = REdit().wrap(textarea)
// or r.widget() <-- returns a new textarea (80x24)
var stream = shoe('/redit')
stream.pipe(r.createStream()).pipe(stream)//server.js
var REdit = require('r-edit')
var r = REdit().wrap(textarea)
var stream = shoe('/redit')
shoe(function (stream) {
stream.pipe(r.createStream()).pipe(stream)
}).install(httpServer)
Create a widget that displays text as a subset of markdown.
var widget = require('r-edit/widget')
var e = new REdit()
document.body.appendChild(widget(e))So far, only a few features are supported, headers, italics, bold, code, and bullet-points. but not syntax that must go over multiple lines, such as quotes, large code sections, or nested lists.
