## PeerJs + JSON Example
|
||||
Here, I will give a short overview on how to enable collaborative json with the
|
||||
[PeerJs](http://peerjs.com/) Connector and the Json Framework. Open
|
||||
[index.html](http://dadamonad.github.io/Yatta/examples/PeerJs-Json/index.html) in your Browser and
|
||||
use the console to explore Yatta!
|
||||
|
||||
[PeerJs](http://peerjs.com) is a Framework that enables you to connect to other peers. You just need the
|
||||
user-id of the peer (browser/client). And then you can connect to it.
|
||||
|
||||
First you have to include the following libraries in your html file:
|
||||
```
|
||||
<script src="http://cdn.peerjs.com/0.3/peer.js"></script>
|
||||
<script src="../../build/browser/Frameworks/JsonFramework.js"></script>
|
||||
<script src="../../build/browser/Connectors/PeerJsConnector.js"></script>
|
||||
<script src="./index.js"></script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Create Connector
|
||||
|
||||
The PeerJs Framework requires an API key, or you need to set up your own PeerJs server.
|
||||
Get an API key from the [Website](http://peerjs.com/peerserver).
|
||||
The first parameter of `createPeerJsConnector` is forwarded as the options object in PeerJs.
|
||||
Therefore, you may also specify the server/port here, if you have set up your own server.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
var yatta, yattaHandler;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This will connect to the server owned by the peerjs team.
|
||||
For now, you can use my API key.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
//var options = {key: 'h7nlefbgavh1tt9'};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This will connect to one of my peerjs instances.
|
||||
I can't guaranty that this will be always up. This is why you should use the previous method with the api key,
|
||||
or set up your own server.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
var options = {
|
||||
host: "terrific-peerjs.herokuapp.com",
|
||||
port: "", // this works because heroku can forward to the right port.
|
||||
// debug: true,
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
var user_id = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
|
||||
connector = new PeerJsConnector(user_id,options);
|
||||
//var connector = new TestConnector(user_id);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Yatta
|
||||
yatta is the shared json object. If you change something on this object,
|
||||
it will be instantly shared with all the other collaborators.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta = new Y.JsonFramework(user_id, connector);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you may want to connect to another peer. Therefore you have to receive his
|
||||
user_id. If the other peer is connected to other peers, the PeerJsConnector
|
||||
will automatically connect to them too.
|
||||
|
||||
Transmitting the user_id is your job.
|
||||
See [TextEditing](../../examples/TextEditing/) for a nice example
|
||||
on how to do that with urls.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
console.log("Copy your user-id: " + user_id);
|
||||
|
||||
// yatta.connector.connectToPeer(peer_user_id);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Add a integer-property like this
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('x', 7);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Get the value of property x like this
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('x') === 7); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A string property can be either mutable or immutable.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string', "text", "mutable");
|
||||
yatta.val('immutable_string', "text", "immutable");
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('immutable_string') === "text"); // true
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').insertText(2,"XXX"); // position, string
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').deleteText(0,1); // position, deletion length
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('mutable_string').val() === "eXXXxt"); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Did you recognize that we use anoter `.val()` for mutable strings?
|
||||
Thats because `yatta.val('mutable_string')` is of type *WordType*.
|
||||
Since WordType implements `toString`, you can use it like a string:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
console.log("" + yatta.val("mutable_string") === "eXXXxt") // true, concatenating it with a string will implicitly invoke toString()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can omit the mutable - parameter. In that case the default will be used.
|
||||
Initially the default is 'mutable'. You can set it like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.setMutableDefault('mutable');
|
||||
// or
|
||||
yatta.setMutableDefault('immutable');
|
||||
|
||||
yatta.val('new_string', "string");
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('new_string') === "string"); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Yatta is [chainable](http://schier.co/post/method-chaining-in-javascript):
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('a', 4).val('b',5);
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('a') === 4); // true
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('b') === 5); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can alse set objects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('object', {a : {b : "b"}, c : { d : 5 }});
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('object').val('c').val('d') === 5); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Lists are always immutable.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('list', [0,1,2]);
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('list')[2] === 2); // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Types
|
||||
Certainly you want to check types!
|
||||
You get the type of an YattaType with the `.type` property.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we create a function that parses a Yatta type to a string.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function show(o){
|
||||
if (o.type === "JsonType"){
|
||||
return JSON.stringify(o.toJson());
|
||||
} else if (o.type === "WordType") {
|
||||
return o.val();
|
||||
} else if (o.constructor === {}.constructor) { // It's an Object
|
||||
return JSON.stringify(o);
|
||||
} else { // It's a primitive data type (E.g. string, int)
|
||||
return o;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Add listeners
|
||||
Apply a 'addProperty' - listener to a JsonType.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function addProperty(event_name, property_name, op){
|
||||
// op is the operation that changed the objects value. In addProperty it is most likely to be a 'Replaceable' (see doc).
|
||||
console.log("Property '" + property_name + "' was created by '"+op.creator+"'!");
|
||||
console.log("Value: " + show(this.val(property_name))); // 'this' is the object on which the property was created.
|
||||
};
|
||||
yatta.on('addProperty', addProperty);
|
||||
yatta.val('new', {z: 7}); // Property 'new' was created!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Apply a 'change' - listener to a JsonType.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function change(event_name, property_name, op){
|
||||
// Check who made this property change!
|
||||
if(op.creator == yatta.getUserId()){
|
||||
console.log("You changed the value of property '" + property_name + "'!");
|
||||
}else{
|
||||
console.log("User '"+op.creator+"' changed the value of property '" + property_name + "'!");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
console.log("New value: " + show(this.val(property_name)) + ""); // 'this' is the object on which the property changed.
|
||||
};
|
||||
yatta.on('change', change);
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string', "text", 'mutable'); // You changed the value of property 'mutable_string'!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
'change' and 'addProperty' do also fire for nested properties.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.val('new').val('z', {'replace' : "x"}); // Property 'z' was replaced or changed!
|
||||
yatta.val('new').val('z').val('new', {"true": true}); // Property 'z' was replaced or changed! + Property 'new' was created!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Delete the listeners
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.deleteListener('addProperty', addProperty);
|
||||
yatta.deleteListener('change', change);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Apply 'insert' and 'delete' - listeners to Words.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function insert_delete(event_name, op){
|
||||
if (event_name === "insert"){
|
||||
console.log("Inserted '" + op.content + "' at position " + op.getPosition());
|
||||
} else if (event_name === "delete"){
|
||||
console.log("Deleted character at position " + op.getPosition());
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').on(['insert', 'delete'], insert_delete);
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').insertText(0, 'a'); // Inserted 'a' at position 0
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').deleteText(0, 1); // Deleted character at position 0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
yatta.val('mutable_string').deleteListener('insert_delete', insert_delete);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Experimental method
|
||||
Nah.. this is only for the cool kids.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.list[2] === 2) // true
|
||||
yatta.value.list = [3,4,5]
|
||||
console.log(yatta.val('list')[2] === 5) // true
|
||||
yatta.value.object = {c : 4}
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.object.c === 4) // true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How did I do that? ^^
|
||||
|
||||
In Javascript it is possible set setter- and getter- for properties. This is
|
||||
why this method feels much more natural.
|
||||
The downside is that you are only allowed to overwrite existing properties.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.value.newProperty = "Awesome"
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.newProperty !== "Awesome") // true, yatta.value.newProperty is undefined.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So, how do we create new properties?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.value = {newProperty : "Awesome"}
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.newProperty === "Awesome") // true, it's awesome ;)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This is stupid! I don't want to overwrite all my existing properties!
|
||||
Very well.. The solution is that we merge yatta.value with the new assignment.
|
||||
For example: assuming we want to overwrite yatta.value with some object o.
|
||||
Then these two rules apply:
|
||||
* The result has all properties of o
|
||||
* The result has all properties of yatta.value if they don't occur under the same property-name in o
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.value = {newProperty : {Awesome : true }}
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.list[2] === 5) // true, old value list still exists.
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.newProperty.Awesome === true) // true, newProperty is overwritten.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Consider this case.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
yatta.value = {newProperty : { x : 4} }
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.newProperty.Awesome == null) // true, newProperty was replaced, therefore it is now undefined
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Did you notice that you always set immutable objects if you set properties like this?
|
||||
Even if the default is 'mutable'. If you want to work with mutable objects you have to work with .val().
|
||||
|
||||
One last thing. You are only allowed to set properties like this `yatta.value = o`.
|
||||
Yatta can't observe if you overwrite object references `yatta = "Awesome"`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
w = yatta.value.newProperty
|
||||
w = "Awesome"
|
||||
console.log(yatta.value.newProperty !== "Awesome") // true, still not awesome..
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please also read [JsonWrapper](https://rawgit.com/DadaMonad/Yatta/master/doc/class/JsonWrapper.html).
|
||||
I really want to hear what you think about this method :)
