@liveblocks/core - npm Package Versions

v0.18.5

Bug fix:

• Fixes a small bug in a type definition, scopes was removed from BaseUserMeta.

Internal updates:

• Switch the monorepo over to Turborepo.

v0.18.4

All packages now provide an isReadOnly flag on user instances. It is available when getting self or others. isReadOnly is true when storage is read-only, see the room management guide for more information.

const me = room.getSelf();

me.isReadOnly; // boolean

const others = room.getOthers();
for (const other of others) {
  other.isReadOnly; // boolean
}

In @liveblocks/client:

• Add a new option shouldInitiallyConnect to client.enter that let you control whether or not the room connects to Liveblocks servers. Default is true.

  Usually set to false when the client is used from the server to not call the authentication endpoint or connect via WebSocket.

In @liveblocks/react:

• Add a new property shouldInitiallyConnect to RoomProvider that let you control whether or not the room connects to Liveblocks servers. Default is true.

  By default equals to typeof window !== "undefined", meaning the RoomProvider tries to connect to Liveblocks servers only on the client side.

• Internal package restructurings to increase code sharing. You may notice a new dependency show up in your dependency tree: @liveblocks/core. It contains private APIs that aren't intended for direct consumption.

v0.18.3

• In @liveblocks/react:

  Fixes the "zombie-child" problem that can occur with React 17 or lower. If you’re on React 18: great, you can ignore this! If you’re using React 17 or lower with Liveblocks, we’ll now start to enforce that you pass the unstable_batchedUpdates prop to RoomProvider, so this problem can be circumvented. This small addition may save you hours of debugging time!

  // ⚠️  Only if you’re using React 17 or lower
  import { unstable_batchedUpdates } from "react-dom";  // 👈
  
  <RoomProvider
    id="my-room"
    initialPresence={...}
    initialStorage={...}
    unstable_batchedUpdates={unstable_batchedUpdates}  // 👈
  >
    <App />
  </RoomProvider>
