We are thrilled to announce the initial release of RxDBDotNet v1.0.0! This release marks a significant milestone in bringing the power of RxDB replication to the .NET ecosystem, seamlessly integrated with Hot Chocolate GraphQL.

Features

Core Functionality

  • Full RxDB Protocol Support: Implements the complete RxDB replication protocol, enabling seamless integration with RxDB clients.
  • Hot Chocolate GraphQL Integration: Leverages the power of Hot Chocolate to provide a robust GraphQL API for replication.
  • Real-Time & Offline-First Capabilities: Supports real-time data synchronization and offline-first operations, allowing clients to work offline and sync when back online.

Replication Protocol Implementation

  • Document-Level Replication: Supports git-like replication model for efficient client-server synchronization.
  • Transfer-Level Protocol:
    • Pull Handler: Implemented via Pull<your-replicated-document> query with checkpoint-based iteration.
    • Push Handler: Implemented via Push<your-replicated-document> mutation with conflict detection.
    • Pull Stream: Implemented using GraphQL subscriptions for real-time updates.
  • Checkpoint Iteration: Efficiently synchronizes data using checkpoints, allowing clients to catch up after being offline.
  • Event Observation: Utilizes GraphQL subscriptions for real-time event streaming.

Security and Authorization

  • Policy-Based Security: Integrates with ASP.NET Core's authorization infrastructure for fine-grained access control.
  • Customizable Security Policies: Allows definition of custom policies for read and write operations on replicated documents.

Advanced Features

  • Subscription Topics: Supports topic-based subscriptions, allowing clients to subscribe to specific subsets of documents.
  • Custom Error Types: Enables configuration of custom exception types for detailed error reporting during replication operations.
  • Structured Error Handling: Implements advanced error handling using GraphQL mutation conventions for consistent and detailed error reporting.

Developer Experience

  • Quick Setup: Minimal configuration required to get started with RxDBDotNet.
  • Extensible Design: Allows for easy extension with custom document types and services.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Includes detailed README and inline documentation for easy understanding and usage.

Future Plans

We are committed to the continuous improvement of RxDBDotNet. Future releases will focus on:

  • Enhanced performance optimizations
  • Additional integration options with popular .NET frameworks and libraries
  • Expanded documentation and examples
  • Community-driven feature requests and improvements
