SLEEP

npm install sleep-ref

SLEEP is a protocol envisioned by @maxogden for open data publication and synchronization.

This project is meant to iterate on the spec through implementation and also to produce a module that is easily usable by other databases to expose their data with SLEEP.

Server

var sleep = require('sleep-ref')
  , http = require('http')
  ;

function getSequences (opts, cb) {
  var c = mydatabase.changes() // [{id:'uuid', seq:1}, {id:'uuid2', seq:3}]
  if (opts.include_data) c.forEach(function (c) {c.data = mydatabase.get(c.id)})
  cb(null, c)
}

var sl = sleep(getSequences)

http.createServer(function (req, resp) {
  sl.httpHandler(req, resp)
})

net.createServer(function (socket) {
  sl.netHandler(socket)
})

Client

var sleep = require('sleep-ref')
  , changes = sleep.client('http://localhost:8888/', {include_data})
  ;
changes.on('data', function (entry) { console.log(entry) })
changes.on('end', function () { console.log('up to date') })

sleep.client(url[, opts]) takes all valid SLEEP options. The url responds to the following protocols: http:, https:, tcp:, and tls:. You can pass tls options to opts via the tls property.
