API

server.channel.subscriptions(cb)

Get the channels and who is subscribed where cb(err, data) is called with data of form:

{
  [ChannelName]: [
    [FeedId, Timestamp],
    [FeedId, Timestamp],
  ]
}

e.g

{
  learning: [
    ['@gaQw6z...', 1518663315275],
    ['@ye+QM09...', 1518663311233]
  ],
  brazil: [
    ['@gaQw6z...', 1518663129468],
  ]
}

server.channel.get(cb)

Get the current state of the channel view. This will wait until the view is up to date, if necessary.

cb(err, data) is a standard callback function where data is of the form:

(same as channel.subscriptions at the moment)

server.channel.stream() => pull-stream source

Be careful, this is a stream which provides:

• an initial value
• 'change' values (for all values after the initial value)
• { sync: true } values when the view is up to date with the db (if you use the {live: true} option)
