An easy to use DDP client library

Overview

SimpleDDP is an innovative library designed to streamline the interaction between Meteor.js servers and external JavaScript environments, such as Node.js, Cordova, and React Native, utilizing the DDP (Distributed Data Protocol). Engineered for robustness, this library has been tested in production settings, ensuring reliability and performance. It offers developers a straightforward way to establish real-time data connections, making it an ideal choice for modern web and mobile applications.

Built using ES6 with modern JavaScript features, SimpleDDP leverages promises for asynchronous operations, making code cleaner and more manageable. It invites developers to adopt its structured approach while being mindful of JavaScript environment compatibility. This utility shines by allowing intuitive connection management and the ability to reactively subscribe to data publications on the server.

Features

  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with various JavaScript environments, including Node.js, Cordova, Ionic, and React Native.

  • ES6 Support: Written in ES6, ensuring modern syntax and functionalities are available, while precompiled with Babel for broader compatibility.

  • Promise-based API: Utilizes promises to enhance asynchronous code, improving readability and maintainability.

  • Connection Management: Simple connection checks through the server.connected property allow easy monitoring of connection statuses.

  • Real-time Data Handling: Facilitates the subscription to publications and provides reactive data sources that auto-update upon server changes.

  • Event Handling: Capable of incorporating events for connection status, offering flexibility in managing real-time interactions.
