DDP #346

Open babakness opened 8 years ago

babakness commented 8 years ago

I thought to share my 2 cents on DDP--

There are many clients out there that speak DDP, for example:

https://github.com/martijnwalraven/meteor-ios https://github.com/hharnisc/react-native-meteor https://github.com/mondora/asteroid

And there are nifty Rest / DDP tools out there too:

https://github.com/okgrow/rest2ddp

Turning a standard REST api into a reactive DDP protocol.

The inter-communication with the Meteor project would really empower Volt in terms of resources available to developers. If DDP were fundamentally flawed however, this point would be moot. Is it?

Looks interesting but I'm not sure how much work it would be to change Volt to use it.

Interesting. I've had the same thought several months ago to be honest. I think that it would certainly be useful and has a compelling argument. Probably not a huge priority, but a good idea.
