YDotNet.Native.MacOS 0.2.11

YDotNet

YDotNet is a .NET binding for y-crdt. It provides distributed data types that enable real-time collaboration between devices. The library is a thin wrapper around Yrs, taking advantage of the safety and performance of Rust.

💡 Disclaimer: this project is still early, so it may contain bugs and the API is subject to change. Feel free to open an issue if you'd like to report problems or suggest new features.

Installation

This section is a WIP, the project has not yet been published to NuGet.

Getting Started

YDotNet provides the same shared data types as Yjs. All objects are shared within a Doc and always get modified within the scope of a Transaction.

// Set up the local document with some sample data.
var localDoc = new Doc();
var localText = localDoc.Text("name");

var localTransaction = localDoc.WriteTransaction();
localText.Insert(localTransaction, 0, "Y-CRDT");
localTransaction.Commit();

// Set up the remote document.
var remoteDoc = new Doc();
var remoteText = remoteDoc.Text("name");

// Get the remote document state vector.
var remoteTransaction = remoteDoc.WriteTransaction();
var remoteState = remoteTransaction.StateVectorV1();

// Calculate the state diff between the local and the remote document.
localTransaction = localDoc.ReadTransaction();
var stateDiff = localTransaction.StateDiffV1(remoteState);
localTransaction.Commit();

// Apply the state diff to synchronize the remote document with the local changes.
var result = remoteTransaction.ApplyV1(stateDiff);

// Read the text from the remote document.
var text = remoteText.String(remoteTransaction);

// At this point, the `text` variable is "Y-CRDT" and this demonstrates how the two
// documents synchronized their state.
//
// This example does it locally but the same could be done over the Internet, for example.

Development Setup

This section is a WIP, but you should be able to run the project through the unit tests after building a dynamic library for your operating system by adding cdylib to the crate-type in the Cargo.toml file of the yffi` library.

Tests

All tests are located in the YDotNet.Tests.Unit project and should be easily runnable using the command:

dotnet test
