collaborative-ace

Ace editor collaborative editing binding

Makes a plain Ace editor instance collaborative by binding it to a JSON CRDT document str node. This allows multiple users to edit the same document json-joy JSON CRDT document concurrently through the Ace editor.

Usage

Installation:

npm install json-joy ace-builds collaborative-ace

Usage:

import {bind} from 'collaborative-ace';
import {Model} from 'json-joy/es2020/json-crdt';

// ...

const unbind = bind(str, editor);

// When done, unbind the binding.
binding.unbind();

React Usage

Installation:

npm install json-joy ace-builds collaborative-ace react-ace react react-dom

Usage:

You use the <CollaborativeAce> component exactly the same as the <AceEditor> component from react-ace, with the only difference that you pass a str node from a JSON CRDT document instead of a plain string value prop.

import {Model, s} from 'json-joy/lib/json-crdt';
import {CollaborativeAce} from 'collaborative-ace/lib/CollaborativeAce';

const model = Model.create(s.str('hello'));

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <CollaborativeAce str={model.s.toApi()} />
};
