js-rsync

Rsync implemented in node over http

Why?

  • It is node.js you can run in multiple platforms, we use that for easy electron integration

Getting started

npm i --save js-rsync

Example use:

// Soon ...

Status

As new maintainer, I have done some research:

  • Implementation of https server for syncronization are incomplete
  • Rsync alghorithm is implemented

Roadmap

  • Complete the https server implementation
  • Add http server implementation
  • Make this library transport independent, use HTTP?, use a WebSocket / Node Socket?, Use WebRTC? well this library should expose an stream you can use over the channel you need
  • Make this library FileSystem independent. You want to connect with a virtual in-memory FileSystem?, You want to have a FileSystem over indexedDB that replicates using rsync?, well js-rsync can work with it

Implementation

This is a fork of ttezel/anchor, thanks to Mihai Tomescu ([email protected]) and Tolga Tezel ([email protected]) for the initial implementation. We will maintain and improve the library because we use it in an internal project and we will share our fixes-refactors as open source code.
