OT.Server

OT.Server is an application that manages the correct handling of submitted operations in an operational transformation system. It ships with an adapter for persisting data to ETS, but implementing new adapters is simple.

For more detailed information about operational transformation, see the documentation for ot_ex and the various links therein.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding ot_server to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ot_server, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Usage

Implement an adapter as per OT.Server.Adapter and configure it as the adapter for the :ot_server application:

config :ot_server,
  adapter: MyOTAdapter,
  max_retries: 25,
  ot_types: %{"text" => OT.Text}

For an example of how an adapter can be created, see OT.Server.ETSAdapter.

Configuration Options

• adapter: The OT.Server.Adapter that OT.Server will use to interact with your data.
• max_retries: The number of times a submission will be attempted before it fails permanently.
• ot_types: A map with string keys pointing to modules that implement OT.Type.
