SLEEP - syncable.org

Your API does REST, but can it SLEEP?

SLEEP (Syncable Lightweight Event Emitting Persistence) is an emerging standard for distributed data sync using HTTP and JSON. A generalized version of CouchDB's much lauded built-in replication, SLEEP extends the REST architecture to define a way in which databases can offer syncable JSON APIs that foster open data innovation by allowing developers to replicate entire databases over the net.

SLEEP comes from the Apache CouchDB project which is now widely known for it's multi-master streaming HTTP + JSON replication. This is possible in part because of the CouchDB _changes feed, which is a particular API that lets you see if there have been any changes made to the database since last time you synchronized. CouchDB can efficiently implement the _changes feed because of one subtle difference between it and most other databases: it stores a history of all changes that happen to the database, including deletes.

If you synchronize data from a remote source and then the

This is a design spec for a configuration-based Node.js NoSql security access library.

Node.js CRUD Configurator

The past 2 months I have been focused almost exclusively on building a new, exciting product for GetHuman. I am using the MEEAN stack (i.e. MongoDB Express.js ElasticSearch AngularJS Node.js), which basically means doing a boat load of JavaScript development. As someone who has done a lot of JavasScript development can tell you, there are a ton of open source libraries out there that can help speed your development and improve the quality of your code.

In fact, there are so many great libraries out there that I am always surprised when I can't find a good one for something that I think is a common problem. One such problem came up a couple weeks ago and I was inspired to create a solution which I hope to turn into a new open source library.

Problem

When an API is exposed with multiple roles and perhaps even multiple permission levels within each role, it takes a decent amount of code to properly control security access. For example, here are some examples of role based secu

Angularjs Placeholder directive. Placeholder text is removed on first input rather than focus
