Core parts of clientdb

Clientdb is a suite of components that enable real-time web apps. Most of them can be used independently, but they're used together to cover all the aspects of building real-time applications.

@clientdb/core

In-memory database for storing, modifying, and querying data. By itself, it is not synchronized with any server and it is not persisting any data offline.

@clientdb/sync

Work in progress (clientdb#10)

Sync engine consists of 2 parts:

Server - HTTP server with a socket that can connect to any database and can keep the in-memory database in sync with the server according to defined access permissions.

Client - Wrapper on top of an in-memory database that connects to sync-server and can keep the in-memory database in sync with the server.

@clientdb/codegen (Work in progress)

Set of dev-toolings for generating TypeScript types and synced client database with all relations, validations, etc. included.
