The Next RealTime and Dynamic Server for Javascript / NodeJS
What if there was a javascript library that takes care of all the server side security, updating huge nested objects, iterating the data though objects, arrays, strings and getting everything you need really fast and really easily to implement?
I will introduce to you the main features we have been working on.
Getting Data
How it looks like in HTML
<div data-entangle=’this.innerHTML = this.retrieve(“user”, profile.username”);’></div>Now the username is displayed and changes each time it’s updated in the server.
More Complex example
Url may be something like this:
www.myapp?user=f3jf9wmM3kwl3We Get the user ID from URL:
var userID = Page.search.get(“user”);We Synchronize the object with a named Entity (we called myAccount):
Data.getN(“myAccount”).sync(“user”, userID);Now we can get what we need no matter if it’s a huge nested object
Example of Object:
//user data:{ username: “Andre”,
_profile_: "abcdefgh",
password: "******",
email: "*******",
_id: "zxymn"
}
//profile data:{
_id: "abcdefgh"
my_post_s: ["aaaa", "bbbb", "cccc"],
}
//first post data:{
creator: "zxymn",
text: "My Post Text",
likes: 57,
}
_type_ means it’s an ID to another Object
Getting the Data:
var result = myAccount.get("_profile_.my_post_s.~.text");(~ means iterating though array or object)
Result:
["My Post Text", "My Another Text 2", "My 3 Text"];Updating Data
It’s as simple as getting the data.
//adds a element to array1
myAccount.update("field1.field2.array1...", [newValue]);Deleting Object fields + Arrays elements
For deleting, we just put * before the field:
//deleting field:
myAccount.update("field1.field2.*array1");//deleting array element:
myAccount.update("field1.field2.array1.*", [element]);
Overflowing Data
To replace/overflow, we just use = before the field
myAccount.update("field1.field2.=array1", newArray);How is Data protected?
We allow highly customized but still really simple way of filtering and protecting data. For example, if we want my post to be private to everyone but my friends:
rules = function(){ var friends = this.ad.get("creator(user)._profile_.friends");
if(!friends.contains(this.core.id))
this.filter("*");
};
Observe if certain parts change
We can create observers that bind to the data. Every time an array, string or object changes, our function is triggered.
myAccount.setBinder("_profile_.my_post_s", function(){ console.log("a post was added or removed"); this.data //posts array after modified
this.data_old //before modified this.obj //new element
});
Triggering Functions in the server
All our functions are organized within folders. Some can only be executed by the server, others are public to be executed.
example of a function:
var private = false;var arguments = {arg1: 0, arg2: "", arg3: []};var func = function(args, cb){
//args.arg1...
};
They are protected by type. So if the user sends an argument as string instead of a number, it converts it to a string. Otherwise the server would crash if the users sends wrong data.
For triggering a server side function is easy.
srv.execute("folder1.folder2.name", {arg1: 65, arg2: "Hello"}, callBack);//we can have a callback from the servercallBack = function(args){
//the function was executed in the server
}
