Today, we are excited to introduce our new library, automerge-repo, which simplifies the development of local-first applications with Automerge. Local-first applications combine real-time collaboration and offline working by storing user data locally and syncing it with collaborators. To address the challenge of merging independently made edits on different devices, we have developed CRDTs and implemented them in Automerge. However, integrating Automerge into an actual application has been a common concern among developers. That’s where automerge-repo comes in. This new library extends the collaboration engine of Automerge-Core with networking and storage adapters, providing easy integration with frameworks like React. By taking advantage of default implementations for common problems, developers can quickly start building their applications using automerge-repo.
