Today’s internet users expect up-to-date, real-time information - no exceptions and no refreshing🔄! Needlessly querying the database to check for changes can be costly on server resources and time-consuming (and quite frankly, silly). Firestore and Arrowspike offer solutions that are expensive, require extensive ecosystem buy-in and can be overkill for projects that don’t yet require such scale. Enter LiveStateDB to solve your stateful woes! LiveStateDB leverages React Hooks, WebSocket API, and MongoDB change streams to build responsive front-end and back-end libraries that allow developers to dynamically alter state as it is updated in the database. Most importantly, multiple clients can subscribe to the same source of truth, allowing for cross-client updating of state. Instead of needing a query for each client, any changes to the requested documents in a database will be pushed to every subscribed client. LiveStateDB includes a front & back end library that are each lightweight and easy to add to your new or existing project!
