RestoratorJS

Restorator is a DOM Automatic Synchronisation ecosystem. This module handles synchronisation of user input into DOM Input elements within 3 different storages. By using Restorator in your web application, you avoid having save buttons on pages and forms.

1. Virtual from DOM storage
2. Local Storage
3. Server Storage

If used on document load, restorator automatically obtains the recent version of a data snapshot from a local storage or a server (which is more recent) and inserts values to the fileds.

Installation

npm install -g restoratorjs

How to synchronise DOM and Restorator

Simply call method Sync(repeat, uFunc, dFunc) on restorator instance. Where:

• repeat object - { repeat: true, delay: 1000 }, which will invoke syncronisation once a 1000 milliseconds
• uFunc function - (jsonString)=>{}, server upload function
• dFunc function - ()=>{return jsonString}, server download function that must return json string of restorator snapshot
