OrbitJS

Syncing data sources and handling spotty network connections are problems many web apps have. Orbit.js helps to address these issues and more. On the latest WWW we chatted with @dgeb about Orbit, #emberjs, and his favorite power tool. whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/developing-orb…

TIL: @OrbitJS was used by Janne Vanhala to write their master's thesis "Implementing an Offline First Web Application" 🙌 aaltodoc.aalto.fi/bitstream/hand…

ember-orbit v0.17.0 has also been released! 🐹 🎉 Please review the detailed release notes to understand the changes and how to upgrade your v0.16.x applications. github.com/orbitjs/ember-…

After two years, 28 beta releases, and over 400 commits, Orbit v0.17 has finally been released! 🎉 Some highlights: - New TS API docs - Multi-expression (parallelizable) queries - Serializers, validators, and normalizers - Full vs. data-only responses orbitjs.com/blog/2022/01/3…

Starting today, I’ll be focusing my open source work more exclusively on two projects: @jsonapi and @OrbitJS. Both projects have big potential but need guidance and attention to get there. I’m glad to have you all along for the journey. Please reach out if you want to help :)

ember-orbit v0.17.0-beta.15 has been released! This includes the significant changes mentioned yesterday re: store and cache forking / merging. The README has also been updated to reflect these changes. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. github.com/orbitjs/ember-…

The recent update to Orbit unlocks some nice clean patterns for mutating models and forked caches synchronously in ember-orbit: github.com/orbitjs/ember-…

Significant new capabilities around store and cache forking / merging / rebasing have been added in `@orbit/memory` v0.17.0-beta.24. Details here: github.com/orbitjs/orbit/…

Welcome to the new Orbitjs.com! We’ve got a new @docusaurus site, new blog, and even new API docs 🎉 orbitjs.com/blog/2021/07/1…

Why so many betas? We’re gearing up for a 1.0 release and want to both get our typings solid and deprecate old interfaces beforehand.

After 20 (!!!) v0.17 betas, we’re getting ready to ship the final! if you’re already using the beta, please try out v0.17.0-beta.20 while we work on updating our docs. If you’re still on v0.16, you may want to wait for our guide to help you upgrade. github.com/orbitjs/orbit/…

This week's work on a kind of "virtual DOM for data” is looking promising: 10-50x perf gains (depending on set size) for bulk IndexedDB writes. And this includes all the relationship tracking and integrity checks provided by Orbit. github.com/orbitjs/orbit/…

👉 If you’re using orbit/indexeddb please pay attention to the bug fixes that were just shipped in v0.16.8 and v0.17.0-beta.15 👈 When upgrading apps with pre-existing IndexedDB databases, action is required. See github.com/orbitjs/orbit/… and github.com/orbitjs/orbit/… for details.

Many more details, along with ember and react lib updates, will be coming along with v0.17 final :) 8/8

Speaking of complex requests, the JSONAPISource can now process these in series OR parallel. By default, multi-expression queries are now made with parallel fetches. 7/x

We've released several v0.17 betas in the past couple weeks. The latest release of all orbit packages is now v0.17.0-beta.12. github.com/orbitjs/orbit/… We're tackling quite a bit with v0.17. This is a brief thread about what's coming... 🧵 1/x
