✨ Add presence support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This change adds support for the `transformPresence()` method that
[`sharedb` uses][1].

We add support for both `text0` and `json0`.

`text0`
-------

The `text0` implementation leans on the existing
[`transformPosition`][2], and takes its form and tests from
[`rich-text`][3].

Its shape takes the form:

```js
{
  index: 3,
  length: 5,
}
```

Where:

 - `index` is the cursor position
 - `length` is the selection length (`0` for a collapsed selection)

`json0`
-------

The `json0` implementation has limited functionality because of the
limitations of the `json0` type itself: we handle list moves `lm`, but
cannot infer any information when moving objects around the tree,
because the `oi` and `od` operations are destructive.

However, it will attempt to transform embedded subtypes that support
presence.

Its shape takes the form:

```js
{
  p: ['key', 123],
  v: {},
}
```

Where:

 - `p` is the path to the client's position within the document
 - `v` is the presence value

The presence value `v` can take any arbitrary value (in simple cases it
may even be omitted entirely).

The exception to this is when using subtypes, where `v` should take the
presence shape defined by the subtype. For example, when using `text0`:

```js
{
  p: ['key'],
  v: {index: 5, length: 0},
}
```

## Presence

`json0` has some limited support for presence information: information about
clients' transient position within a document (eg their cursor or selection).

It also supports presence in `text0`.

### Format

#### `json0`

The format of a `json0` presence object follows a similar syntax to its ops:

{p: ['key', 123], v: 0}

Where :

- `p` is the path to the client's position within the document
- `v` is the client's presence "value"

The presence value `v` can take any arbitrary value or shape, unless the property
is a subtype. In this case, the value in `v` will be passed to the subtype's own
`transformPresence` method (see below for an example with `text0`).

#### `text0`

The `text0` presence takes the format of:

{index: 0, length: 5}

Where:

- `index` is the start of the client's cursor
- `length` is the length of their selection (`0` for a collapsed selection)

For example, given a string `'abc'`, a client's position could be represented as: `{index: 1, length: 1}` if they have the letter "b" highlighted.

`text0` presence can be embedded within `json0`. For example, given this document:
`{foo: 'abc'}`, the same highlight would be represented as:
`{p: ['foo'], v: {index: 1, length: 1}}`

### Limitations

`json0` presence mostly exists to allow subtype presence updates for embedded
documents.

Moving embedded documents within a `json0` document has limited presence support,
because `json0` has no concept of object moves. As such, `json0` will preserve
presence information when performing a list move `lm`, but any `oi` or `od` ops
will destroy presence information in the affected subtree, since these are
destructive operations.
