Caveats

Two sync loops per sync frequency

Two sync loops may be invoked per sync frequency if the server-side sync frequency differs from the client-side frequency.

This is because the client and server sync frequencies are set independently. Setting a long frequency on a client does not change the sync frequency on the server.

The syncFrequency value of the dataset on the server should be set to the sync_frequency value of the corresponding dataset on the client to avoid this.

For example:

  • sync_frequency on the client-side dataset is also set to 120 seconds.
  • syncFrequency on the server-side dataset is set to 120 seconds.

API logging

Users of the fh-mbaas-api can then enable logging if they would like to see more output. This is useful for debugging purposes. It's possible to pass environment variables to enable the logging according the rules specified for debug module:

DEBUG="fh-mbaas-api:*" ./yourscript 

If DEBUG_COLORS=0 is passed also it will print log messages with proper timestamps. This is automatically enabled outside properly supported terminal.
