Ankurah: The root of all cosmic manifestations (of state)

Warning: It is a very early work in progress, with a few major milestones envisioned:

• Major Milestone 1 - Getting the foot in the door

  • Production-usable event-sourced ORM which uses an off the shelf database for storage
  • Rust structs for data modeling
  • Signals pattern for notifications
  • WASM Bindings for client-side use
  • Websockets server and client
  • React Bindings
  • Basic included data-types: including CRDT text(yrs crate) and primitive types
  • Very basic embedded KV backing store (Sled DB)
  • Basic, single field queries (auto indexed?)

• Major Milestone 2 - Stuff we need, but can live without for a bit

  • Postgres, and TiKV Backends
  • Graph Functionality
  • Multi-field queries
  • A robust recursive query AST which can define queries declaratively
  • User definable data types

• Major Milestone 3 - Maybe someday...

  • P2P functionality
  • Portable cryptographic identities
  • E2EE
  • Hypergraph functionality

Getting started (It worked at one point, but I broke it)

1. Install rust: https://rustup.rs/

2. Install cargo watch (useful for dev workflow)

   cargo install cargo-watch
   

3. Start the server:

   # from the root directory of the repo
   cargo watch -x 'run --bin ankurah-server'
   

4. Install wasm-pack https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/

5. Compile the web client:

   cd web
   cargo watch -s 'wasm-pack build --target web --debug'
   

6. install bun (npm/node might work, but I haven't tested it, and bun is way faster)

   https://bun.sh/docs/installation

   cd examples/webapp
   bun dev
