Implementation of JSON Patch RFC6902 about js-data HOT 5 CLOSED

What is your intent with this issue?

from js-data.

I suggest that the js-data could implements JSON Path to Diferential Syncronization
This funcionality allow integrate js-data with servers that implement JSON Path like Spring Sync (see http://www.slideshare.net/briancavalier/differential-sync-and-json-patch-s2-gx-2014).
It adds a new offline capability to the library (like Firebase, ??), the local data could be stored into PouchDB, the changes on oflline model generate the patch (JSON Path) that finally could sync with the server through a standard.
I appreciate your feedback an opinon about it, it is probably that this issue will be out of your goals about the library..
Thanks a lot and great job (by this library and angular-data).

I see what your'e getting at. Since js-data itself is the core, in-memory data store only, this does fall out of the scope of js-data. Persistence to other sources has been abstracted away from js-data. That doesn't mean that an adapter couldn't tackle this problem. In fact, I already have js-data-firebase, which allows you to interact with firebase through the data store. It's on the roadmap to create js-data-pouchdb, which could also address this issue. Using a pouchdb should allow offline sync, as the developer only has to interact with the data store (js-data), while pouchdb handles syncing to couchdb.

The js-data-dsync (adapter, interface, impl, engine - I dont know the right term) will be independent of an existent storage (firebase, couhcdb) and could enable sync with servers or persistence storages that implements HTTP PATH interface (php, and the new spring sync,).

Thanks for yor response, and great job.

I think that this particular set of functionality is out of the scope of js-data.js itself, but there is definitely room for another project that uses js-data to accomplish this. Perhaps when there's a pouchdb/couchdb adapter or GUN adapter, as those projects are already solving the CRTD problem.

Closing this issue because js-data.js itself won't implement this functionality.
