Integrating with Collab-Provider

This guide outlines two primary use cases for integrating with the collab-provider.

Use Cases

1. Full Integration: FE Events and BE API Calls
   • For scenarios requiring both front-end events and back-end API interactions, the back-end APIs are hosted by pf-collab-service. To determine if API calls are necessary, please refer to the OpenAPI documentation, specifically under the Service to Service section.
2. Partial Integration: FE Events Only
   • For scenarios where only front-end events are needed, without back-end API interactions.

Integration Details

1. Full Integration: FE Events and BE API Calls
   • Ensure the provider is initialized with:
     • DocumentService from document-service.ts
     • Api from api.ts
2. Partial Integration: FE Events Only
   • Ensure the provider is initialized with:
     • NullDocumentService from null-document-service.ts
     • NullApi from null-api.ts

For a detailed comparison of these integration approaches, refer to the source code in ../platform/packages/editor/collab-provider/src/provider/index.ts

// Full integration
- setup({getState, onSyncUpError}: {getState: () => EditorState; onSyncUpError?: SyncUpErrorFunction;})

// Partial Integration, initialize the provider with passing config isPresenceOnly as true
- setupForPresenceOnly(clientId: string)
