Tiddlywiki saving examples

[lambrospetrou]

TiddlyWiki 5 offers several ways to provide "saving" functionality. The following two are built-in to TiddlyWiki 5:

• https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5/blob/646f5ae7cf2a46ccd298685af3228cfd14760e25/core/modules/savers/put.js#L46
  • just needs a PUT support on the URL path (before the #).
• https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5/blob/646f5ae7cf2a46ccd298685af3228cfd14760e25/core/modules/savers/custom.js
  • JS based custom saver. Provide the saver object on window.$tw.customSaver and it will be used automatically. Can be done with a custom plugin.
• Explanation of upload vs put saver options: https://github.com/tiddlyhost/tiddlyhost-com/wiki/About-the-two-different-save-methods

With the CustomSaver and the PutSaver we can pretty much implement anything. Using the PutSaver as fallback, and the CustomSaver in JS in case I need to do something more flexible in those wikis with my plugin is enough.

TiddlyWiki also has SyncAdaptor modules that do fine-grained saving/loading/deleting of Tiddlers.

This will be a 2nd iteration (after PUT) of saving the data remotely in a fine-grained way.

The PUT Saver is now complete, saving works and we retain the last 10 versions (for now). I will see later if we can add per tiddler saving/loading as well.
