WeaveStoreWebsockets

API reference for WeaveStoreWebsockets class

Overview

The WeaveStoreWebsockets class is a client-side store implementation in the Weave.js ecosystem that enables real-time collaboration using WebSockets. It connects to a compatible WebSocket server—such as WeaveWebsocketsServer to sync shared canvas state across all connected users.

Built on top of Yjs and y-websocket, it acts as a bridge between the client-side Weave.js app and the remote backend, handling updates, awareness (presence), and document syncing with minimal setup.
