Ditto

public class Ditto

Ditto is the entry point for accessing Ditto-related functionality.

  • An optional delegate that will be called with SDK lifecycle information if defined.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var delegate: DittoDelegate? { get set }

  • Configure a custom identifier for the current device.

    When using observePeers(), each remote peer is represented by a short UTF-8 “device name”. By default this will be a truncated version of the device’s hostname. It does not need to be unique among peers. Configure the device name before calling startSync(). If it is too long it may be truncated.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var deviceName: String { get set }

  • The site ID that the instance of Ditto is using as part of its identity.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var siteID: UInt64 { get }

  • Provides access to the SDK’s store functionality.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var store: DittoStore { get }

  • The DispatchQueue that will be used to deliver delegate events. Defaults to DispatchQueue.main.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var delegateEventQueue: DispatchQueue { get set }

  • Assign a new transports configuration. By default peer-to-peer transports (Bluetooth, WiFi and AWDL) are enabled.

    You may use this method to alter the configuration at any time, however sync will not begin until startSync is called.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func setTransportConfig(config: DittoTransportConfig)

  • Initializes a new Ditto.

    Throws

    DittoSwiftError

    Declaration

    Swift

    public init(
    identity: DittoIdentity = .development(),
    persistenceDirectory directory: URL? = nil
)

    Parameters

    identity

    Provide the identity of the entity that is interacting with Ditto.
    persistenceDirectory

    The directory that will be used to persist Ditto data.

  • Activate a Ditto instance by setting an access license. You cannot interact with Ditto before you have activated it.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func setAccessLicense(_ license: String)

    Parameters

    license

    The license to activate the Ditto instance with.

  • Starts the network transports. Ditto will connect to other devices.

    By default Ditto will enable all peer-to-peer transport types. On iOS this means Bluetooth, WiFi and AWDL. The network configuration can be customized using the setTransportConfig method.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func startSync()

  • Stops all network transports.

    You may continue to use the database locally but no data will sync to or from other devices.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func stopSync()

  • Request bulk status information about the transports. This is mostly intended for statistical or debugging purposes.

    Throws

    DittoSwiftError

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func transportDiagnostics() throws -> DittoTransportDiagnostics

    Return Value

    An instance of DittoTransportDiagnostics.

  • Request information about Ditto peers in range of this device.

    This method returns an observer which should be held as long as updates are required. A newly registered observer will have a peers update delivered to it immediately. Then it will be invoked repeatedly when Ditto devices come and go, or the active connections to them change.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func observePeers(callback: @escaping (Array<DittoRemotePeer>) -> ()) -> DittoPeersObserver

  • A string identifying the version of the DittoSwift SDK.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var sdkVersion: String { get }
