DynamoDB database adapter for Yjs

Rewritten from y-leveldb to use AWS DynamoDB.

WIP.

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dynamodb-local.yml up

node ./testrun

aws dynamodb list-tables --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 --region us-west-2
aws dynamodb scan --table-name test-y-dynamodb --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 --region us-west-2

Use it

npm install y-dynamodb --save
const DynamoDbPersistence = require('./src/y-dynamodb')
const Y = require('yjs')

const config = {
  aws: {
    region: 'us-west-2',
    accessKeyId: 'accessKeyId',
    secretAccessKey: 'secretAccessKey',
    endpoint: 'http://localhost:8000'
  },
  skipCreateTable: true, // skips creating table, assumes it already exists
  tableName: 'test-y-dynamodb'
}
const persistence = DynamoDbPersistence(config)

const ydoc = new Y.Doc()
ydoc.getArray('arr').insert(0, [1, 2, 3])
console.log(ydoc.getArray('arr').toArray()) // => [1, 2, 3]

// store document updates retrieved from other clients
persistence.storeUpdate('my-doc', Y.encodeStateAsUpdate(ydoc))

// when you want to sync, or store data to a database,
// retrieve the temporary Y.Doc to consume data
persistence.getYDoc('my-doc')
  .then(doc => console.log('Got my-doc', doc.getArray('arr').toArray())) // [1, 2, 3]

API

persistence = DynamoDbPersistence(config)

Create a y-dynamodb persistence instance.

persistence.getYDoc(docName: string): Promise<Y.Doc>

Create a Y.Doc instance with the data persisted in DynamoDB. Use this to temporarily create a Yjs document to sync changes or extract data.

persistence.storeUpdate(docName: string, update: Uint8Array): Promise

Store a single document update to the database.

persistence.getStateVector(docName: string): Promise<Uint8Array>

The state vector (describing the state of the persisted document - see Yjs docs) is maintained in a separate field and constantly updated.

This allows you to sync changes without actually creating a Yjs document.

persistence.getDiff(docName: string, stateVector: Uint8Array): Promise<Uint8Array>

Get the differences directly from the database. The same as Y.encodeStateAsUpdate(ydoc, stateVector).

persistence.clearDocument(docName: string): Promise

Delete a document, and all associated data from the database.

persistence.setMeta(docName: string, metaKey: string, value: any): Promise

Persist some meta information in the database and associate it with a document. It is up to you what you store here. You could, for example, store credentials here.

persistence.getMeta(docName: string, metaKey: string): Promise<any|undefined>

Retrieve a store meta value from the database. Returns undefined if the metaKey doesn't exist.

persistence.getMetas(docName: string): Promise<Map<string, any>>

Retries all meta keys and values from the database for a document.

persistence.delMeta(docName: string, metaKey: string): Promise

Delete a store meta value.

persistence.flushDocument(docName: string): Promise (dev only)

Internally y-dynamodb stores incremental updates. You can merge all document updates to a single entry. You probably never have to use this.

AWS CDK

Here's an example stack if you're using AWS CDK:

class AwsCdkStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor (scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props)

    const docsTable = new dynamodb.Table(this, 'test-y-dynamodb', {
      partitionKey: { name: 'ydocname', type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING },
      sortKey: { name: 'ykeysort', type: dynamodb.AttributeType.BINARY },
      tableName: 'test-y-dynamodb'
    })

    const user = new iam.User(this, 'YDatabaseUser', { userName: 'YDatabaseUser' })
    const accessKey = new iam.CfnAccessKey(this, 'myAccessKey', { userName: user.userName })

    new cdk.CfnOutput(this, 'accessKeyId', { value: accessKey.ref })
    new cdk.CfnOutput(this, 'secretAccessKey', { value: accessKey.attrSecretAccessKey })

    docsTable.grantFullAccess(user)
  }
}
