fluctor

Flux-like + Actor Model

Well, this is a library for creating a shared state across multiple instances;

Installation

npm:

npm install fluctor

What is it?

Well once you create a fluctor object you have an immutalbe state that you can change with transactions

const Fluctor = require('fluctor').Fluctor;
 
 
var fluctor = new Fluctor({
  initial: {}, // initial state
  connection: {} // connection settings
});
 
fluctor.state // => the state
 
fluctor
  .tran // can be acessed as fluctor.transactions too
  .begin() // begin the transactions
  .set('foo', 'bar') // Do the change
  .commit() // commit the changes (you can rollback too)
  .then(() => 
    console.log('Transaction Commited'));
 
fluctor.state // => { "foo": "bar" } is the value here and every other server

Transaction

let tran = fluctor.tran.begin();
 
tran.set(path, value); // Set value
 
tran.remove(path); // Delete value
 
tran.push(path, value); // Appends value to an array
 
tran.pop(path); // Pops last value from array
 
tran.increment(path, value=1); // Increment Numeric value
 
tran.decrement(path, value=1); // Decrement Numeric value
 
tran.commit()
  .then(changes => { /* the returning value from the modifications */ });
 

Roadmap

This project started as a personal need and i figured out that it should be a fully fledged library. That means there are a lot of tasks to be completed befor the library is production ready =]

• Make the thing production ready
• Make the Appenders be plugginable
• Figure out a custom p2p comunication
• Settle on a more strict role splitting among nodes
• Maybe transfer some of the core code to native code
