Does the db sync work for browser? about orbitdb HOT 9 CLOSED

Great to hear! Please don't hesitate to open new issues if you come across any.

I am confused about this as well. I am using the kvstore and data persists while the app is running; however, when I restart the app, the data is gone. I am using the IpfsBrowserDaemon with the signalling server from the browser example.

Following is what I'm seeing, whenever i start in a new incognito window the count starts from beginning i.e. its not syncing.

Hi everyone and thanks for reporting the bugs! We just released a new version of orbit-db, including updated examples. Would you care to take another try and see if this bug still happens?

As a clarification, as @zabirauf shows in his screenshots, you'll have to open the second peer in an incognito tab, otherwise the peers won't connect as they use the same ipfs repo (ie. they have the same IPFS peer id).

@haadcode When i run the example, i get the following error

TypeError: db.load is not a function
    at IpfsBrowserDaemon.ipfs.on (index.js:100)
    at IpfsBrowserDaemon.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:78)
    at _initDaemon.then.then (ipfs-browser-daemon.js:20)

@zabirauf I believe this is due to not updating node_modules after pulling the latest. Make sure you do rm -rf node_modules && npm install after you've pulled from master in order to get the latest modules. Let me know if this helped.

@haadcode Thanks, that solved the issue. I do see the KVStore to be in sync but the log and counter still seem to be unsynced.

@zabirauf thank for confirming this fixed your issue.

I see that in your video, the "Peers" at the top says 0 for both. This means that the two peers are not connected and as such, can't sync the databases (any of them). We still have some bugs related to the connectivity, so it might be that the peers don't connect every time. To go around this, I usually restart both peers until I see "Peers: 1" in both :) Let me know if this helps!

@haadcode Thanks a lot, it works. Everything syncs now 👍 . Closing the issue now.
