Offline tools #

The Kuzzle SDK provides a set of properties that helps your application to be resilient to the loss of network connection during its lifespan.

Contructor options and properties #

These properties can be set in the options object when instantiating a new SDK.

Some of them are also writable properties available after SDK instantiation.

autoQueue #

A writable boolean telling the SDK whether to automatically queue requests during the offline state or not.

Default value: false

autoReconnect #

A writable boolean telling the SDK whether to automatically reconnect or not to Kuzzle after a connection loss.

Default value: Depends on the Protocol

autoReplay #

A writable boolean telling the SDK whether to automatically send or not the requests in the offlineQueue on a reconnected event.

Default value: false

autoResubscribe #

A writable boolean telling the SDK whether to automatically renew or not all subscriptions on a reconnected event.

Default value: true

offlineQueue #

A read-only Array containing the requests queued while the SDK is in the offline state (it behaves like a FIFO queue).

offlineQueueLoader #

A writable Function called by the SDK before playing the requests in the offlineQueue. This function takes no arguments and returns an array of Request that are added on top of the offlineQueue. Use it to inject new requests to be played before the queue.

queueFilter #

A writable Function called by the SDK each time a Request need to be queued. The Request is passed as the only argument to the function and is queued only if the function returns true. Use it to define which requests are allowed to be queued.

queueMaxSize #

A writable number defining the maximun size of the offlineQueue.

Default value: 500

queueTTL #

A writable number defining the time in milliseconds a queued request is kept in the offlineQueue.

Default value: 120000

reconnectionDelay #

A read-only number specifying the time in milliseconds between different reconnection attempts.

Default value: Depends on the Protocol

Methods #

flushQueue() #

Empties the offlineQueue without sending the requests to Kuzzle.

playQueue() #

Sends to Kuzzle all the requests in the offlineQueue. Works only if the SDK is not in a offline state, and if the autoReplay option is set to false.

startQueuing() #

Starts queuing requests when in offline state. Requests will be put in the offlineQueue array instead of being discarded, until stopQueuing is called. Works only in offline state when the autoQueue option is set to false. Call playQueue to send to Kuzzle the requests in the queue, once the SDK state passes to online. Call flushQueue to empty the queue without sending the requests.

stopQueuing() #

Stop queuing the requests. Requests will no more be put in the offlineQueue, they will be discarded. Works only in the offline state, and if the autoQueue option is set to false.
