distributed-map | A distributed key value store in the browser | Key Value Database library

To create a distributed map you need to pass in a MuxDemuxConnection (from boot or mux-demux directly) and you pass in a mapUri which is the URI for the map your opening. The URI determines what peers in the network your connected to. Your basically only connected to the peers that open the map with the same uri (this will be referred to as the map network, the network of peers connected to a map identified by this mapUri). A DistributedMap instance implements all the Map to locally manipulate the map. The .set and .delete methods will additionally send change deltas to all the other peers connected to the map network. A map emits a ready event once it has finished synchronizing the initial state with a peer in the map network. It passes the state of the map as an object to the handler. A map emits a set when a peer in the map network told you a key / value pair has been set. It's given the new value, the key and the map as an object. A map emits a delete when a peer in the map network told you a key has been deleted. For convenience it gives you the value that has been removed along with the key and the entire map as an object. Set's the key value pair locally and also broadcasts a message to all peers in the map network telling them that the key value pair has been set. Delete's the key value pair locally and also broadcasts a message to all peers in the map network telling them that the key value pair has been deleted. Wait until the synchronization completes. passes the current state of the map as an object. Will fire immediately if synchronization is already complete. The distributed map proxy is used on the server to relay traffic between peers in the network. This is required for the DistributedMap to work.
