DB-Sync Client-Server Protocol
Transport
- WebSocket
ws(s) to /sync/:graph-id.
- Client builds URL from config and appends
?token=... when available.
- Encoding: JSON objects;
tx payloads are Transit strings.
- Note: keep this document in sync with the current implementation.
Client -> Server
{"type":"hello","client":"<repo-id>"}
- Initial handshake from client.
{"type":"pull","since":<t>}
- Request txs after
since (defaults to 0).
{"type":"tx/batch","t-before":<t>,"txs":["<tx-transit>", ...]}
- Upload a batch of txs based on
t-before (required).
{"type":"ping"}
- Optional keepalive; server replies
pong.
Server -> Client
{"type":"hello","t":<t>}
- Server hello with current t.
{"type":"online-users","online-users":[{"user-id":"...","email":"...","username":"...","name":"..."}...]}
- Presence update with currently online users (fields may be omitted).
{"type":"pull/ok","t":<t>,"txs":[{"t":<t>,"tx":"<tx-transit>"}...]}
{"type":"tx/batch/ok","t":<t>}
- Batch accepted; server advanced to t.
{"type":"changed","t":<t>}
- Broadcast that server state advanced; client should pull.
{"type":"tx/reject","reason":"stale","t":<t>}
- Client tx is based on stale t.
{"type":"tx/reject","reason":"cycle","data":"<transit {:attr <kw> :server-values ...}>"}
- Cycle detected with server values.
{"type":"tx/reject","reason":"empty tx data"|"invalid tx"|"invalid t-before"}
{"type":"pong"}
{"type":"error","message":"..."}
- Invalid/unknown message. Current messages:
"unknown type", "invalid request", "server error", "invalid since".
