Make synchronize pull & push easier & faster.

This gem is built to handle synchronize between pull & push with WatermelonDb even you are use different library and keep the synchronization throguh API then you can use this gem, basically this gem follows this article to handle the sync How to Build WatermelonDB Sync Backend in Elixir which is using Auto-incrementing Counter (Version) + Timestamp for Tracking Changes approach, but this is a Ruby version of it

• Seamless sync between WatermelonDB and Rails through API endpoint.
• Customizable sync strategies.
• Easy integration with existing Rails applications.
• Supported Postgresql

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'watermelon_db_sync'

You can find the gem on RubyGems.

After updating the Gemfile, run:

$ bundle install

Or, install the gem manually using:

$ gem install watermelon_db_sync

To set up the gem, you need to run the installation generator:

rails g watermelon_db_sync:install

This will:

• Create an initializer at config/initializers/watermelon_db_sync.rb where all configuration options are described.
• Generate a migration to create a global sequence table: db/migrate/[timestamp]_create_sequence.rb.

Once you have the basic setup, you can add sync fields to an existing model. This assumes that the table (e.g., orders) already exists in your database. To add sync fields, run:

rails g watermelon_db_sync:add_sync_fields Order

This will generate a migration that adds the necessary sync fields to the orders table.

Next run:

rails db:migrate

Pull:

sync_pull = WatermelonDbSync::SyncPull.new(last_pulled_version: 0)
sync_pull.pull
sync_pull.data[:response]

response:

{:orders=>
  {:created=>
    [{"id"=>1,
      "name"=>"asdasad",
      "phone"=>nil,

        }
      ],
      "deleted": []
    }

    sync_push = WatermelonDbSync::SyncPush.new(data)
    sync_push.push
    sync_push.data[:success]
    => true
