🎯 Custom Conflict Resolvers, Delta Sync & Encryption #

Three critical features for production apps! Custom conflict resolvers allow application-specific conflict resolution logic, delta sync reduces bandwidth by up to 98%, and encryption ensures data security at rest.

New Features:

Custom Conflict Resolvers ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #

  • ✅ Custom Conflict Strategy - Implement your own conflict resolution logic
  • ✅ Pre-built Resolvers - Common patterns ready to use
  • ✅ Array Merging - Merge arrays instead of replacing (social apps)
  • ✅ Number Summing - Sum quantities (inventory apps)
  • ✅ Field-Level Merging - Merge specific fields (collaborative editing)
  • ✅ Max Value - Take maximum for counters (analytics)
  • ✅ Deep Merge - Recursively merge nested objects
  • ✅ Field-Level Last-Write-Wins - Per-field timestamps

Why Custom Conflict Resolvers?

  • 🔧 Flexibility: One-size doesn't fit all - built-in strategies don't work for all cases
  • 🤝 Collaboration: Collaborative editing needs field-level merging
  • 📦 Inventory: Inventory apps need to sum quantities, not replace
  • 💬 Social: Social apps need to merge likes/comments
  • 🏆 Differentiation: Competitors have this, you need it too
  • 🚫 Production Blocker: Apps with complex data can't use SyncLayer without this

Example Usage:

// Social app: Merge likes and comments
await SyncLayer.init(
  SyncConfig(
    baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
    conflictStrategy: ConflictStrategy.custom,
    customConflictResolver: (local, remote, localTime, remoteTime) {
      return {
        ...remote,
        'likes': [...local['likes'], ...remote['likes']].toSet().toList(),
        'comments': [...local['comments'], ...remote['comments']],
      };
    },
  ),
);

// Or use pre-built resolvers
customConflictResolver: ConflictResolvers.mergeArrays(['tags', 'likes'])
customConflictResolver: ConflictResolvers.sumNumbers(['quantity', 'views'])
customConflictResolver: ConflictResolvers.fieldLevelLastWriteWins()

Delta Sync (Partial Updates) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #

  • ✅ Partial Updates - Only sync changed fields
  • ✅ update() Method - New API for delta updates
  • ✅ Bandwidth Optimization - 70-98% bandwidth reduction
  • ✅ DeltaCalculator - Calculate deltas and savings
  • ✅ Backend Support - REST adapter supports PATCH requests
  • ✅ Automatic Fallback - Falls back to full update if backend doesn't support delta

Why Delta Sync?

  • 📱 Bandwidth: Sending 1 field vs 50 fields = 98% savings
  • ⚡ Performance: Faster sync, less data transfer
  • 🔋 Battery: Less network usage = better battery life
  • 💰 Cost: Lower server bandwidth costs
  • 🔄 Conflicts: Fewer conflicts when only specific fields change

Example Usage:

// Traditional way: Send entire document (wasteful)
await collection.save({
  'id': '123',
  'title': 'My Document',
  'content': '... 50KB of content ...',
  'done': true,  // Only this changed!
}, id: '123');

// Delta sync: Only send changed field (efficient)
await collection.update('123', {'done': true});
// Saves 98% bandwidth!

// Real-world examples:
// Toggle todo completion
await collection.update(todoId, {'done': true});

// Increment view count
await collection.update(docId, {'views': views + 1});

// Update user status
await collection.update(userId, {
  'status': 'online',
  'lastSeen': DateTime.now().toIso8601String(),
});

Encryption (Data at Rest) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #

  • ✅ AES-256-GCM - Recommended, authenticated encryption
  • ✅ AES-256-CBC - Legacy compatibility
  • ✅ ChaCha20-Poly1305 - Mobile-optimized
  • ✅ Automatic Encryption - Transparent encryption/decryption
  • ✅ Compression - Optional compression before encryption
  • ✅ Field Name Encryption - Optional for maximum security

Why Encryption?

  • 🏥 Enterprise: Healthcare, finance, legal apps MUST have encryption
  • ⚖️ Compliance: HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOC2 require encryption at rest
  • 🔒 Trust: Users expect their data to be encrypted
  • 🛡️ Security: Protects data if device is compromised
  • 💼 Market: Can't sell to enterprise without encryption

Example Usage:

// Generate secure key (store in flutter_secure_storage)
final encryptionKey = generateSecureKey();

await SyncLayer.init(
  SyncConfig(
    baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
    encryption: EncryptionConfig(
      enabled: true,
      key: encryptionKey,
      algorithm: EncryptionAlgorithm.aes256GCM,
    ),
  ),
);

// Data is automatically encrypted before storage
await collection.save({
  'ssn': '123-45-6789',  // Encrypted!
  'cardNumber': '4111-1111-1111-1111',  // Encrypted!
});

Compliance:

  • HIPAA: Encrypts PHI (Protected Health Information)
  • PCI DSS: Encrypts cardholder data
  • GDPR: Encrypts personal data
  • SOC2: Meets encryption requirements

API Additions:

  • EncryptionConfig - Configure encryption
  • EncryptionAlgorithm - Choose algorithm (AES-GCM, AES-CBC, ChaCha20)
  • EncryptionService - Encryption/decryption service
  • SyncConfig.encryption - Enable encryption
  • CollectionReference.update() - Update specific fields (delta sync)
  • ConflictStrategy.custom - Use custom conflict resolver
  • SyncConfig.customConflictResolver - Custom resolver function
  • CustomConflictResolverCallback - Type for custom resolvers
  • ConflictResolvers - Pre-built resolver utilities
  • DocumentDelta - Delta representation
  • DeltaCalculator - Calculate deltas and savings
  • SyncBackendAdapter.pushDelta() - Push delta to backend
  • QueueManager.queueDeltaUpdate() - Queue delta operation

Documentation:

Breaking Changes:

  • None - All features are optional and backward compatible

Migration:

  • No migration needed - existing code works without changes
  • Add encryption to SyncConfig to enable encryption
  • Add customConflictResolver to SyncConfig to enable custom resolution
  • Use collection.update() instead of collection.save() for delta sync

1.2.0 - 2026-02-18 #

🎯 Selective Sync (Sync Filters) #

A critical feature for production apps! Control exactly what data gets synced to save bandwidth, storage, and ensure privacy.

New Features:

  • ✅ Sync Filters - Filter what data gets synced per collection
  • ✅ Where Conditions - Filter by field values (multi-tenant support)
  • ✅ Time-Based Filtering - Only sync recent data (GDPR compliance)
  • ✅ Field Filtering - Include/exclude specific fields (bandwidth optimization)
  • ✅ Progressive Sync - Limit initial sync size
  • ✅ Backend Integration - Works with all adapters (REST, Firebase, Supabase, Appwrite)

Why Sync Filters?

  • 🔒 Privacy: Users don't want to download everyone's data
  • 📱 Bandwidth: Mobile users have limited data plans (70-90% reduction)
  • 💾 Storage: Devices have limited space
  • 🔐 Security: Multi-tenant apps need user isolation
  • ⚖️ Legal: GDPR requires data minimization

Example Usage:

await SyncLayer.init(
  SyncConfig(
    baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
    collections: ['todos', 'notes'],
    syncFilters: {
      // Multi-tenant: Only sync current user's data
      'todos': SyncFilter(
        where: {'userId': currentUserId},
      ),
      // Time-based: Only recent data
      'notes': SyncFilter(
        since: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 30)),
      ),
      // Bandwidth: Exclude large fields
      'documents': SyncFilter(
        excludeFields: ['fullContent', 'attachments'],
      ),
      // Combined: All together
      'messages': SyncFilter(
        where: {'userId': currentUserId},
        since: DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 7)),
        fields: ['id', 'text', 'timestamp'],
        limit: 200,
      ),
    },
  ),
);

API Additions:

  • SyncFilter class - Configure sync filtering
  • SyncConfig.syncFilters - Map of filters per collection
  • SyncBackendAdapter.pull() - Updated to support filters
  • All adapters updated (REST, Firebase, Supabase, Appwrite)

Documentation:

Breaking Changes:

  • None - Sync filters are optional and backward compatible

Migration:

  • No migration needed - existing code works without changes
  • Add syncFilters to SyncConfig to enable filtering

1.1.0 - 2026-02-17 #
