How to sync local changes during offline when the connection is re-established?

[hongscave]

Thanks for making this library!

I've been trying out this library with this example.
And I've reached a point where during offline, the changes I made locally is not synced when the connection is re-established.
I can tell because the product id is not assigned if it is created offline.

I made sure syncLocal is true.

final productsState = ref.products.watchAll( syncLocal: true );

and I tried:

// this action only overwrites my local state with server state
await ref.products.appwriteAdapter.findAll(syncLocal: true);

How do I perform such action? Does this package provide this feature?
I do see there's a merge function, is that the one? Can you show me how it works?

Many thanks!

@hongscave Thanks for trying out appwrite_offline. Regarding this issue I have been considering an alternative approach ie Temporary IDs because this a feature that was even removed from the underlying package flutter_data due to complexity. But am working on something though am currently the only maintainer it might take some bit of time.

Hi @drexhacker,

Thank you for your reply. Please take all the time you need.
I wish I can help but I'm not at that level yet apart from using it.

Anyway, I'm glad that someone is working on providing the major feature that's missing in Appwrite. It would have been a great alternative to Firebase or Supabase only if it had offline support.

Thanks again for the great work, I'll wait patiently.
