|
|||
joined. These rooms may also have a list of events associated with them. The
|
||||
purpose of 'syncing' is to present the current room and event information in a
|
||||
convenient, compact manner. The events returned are not limited to room events;
|
||||
presence events will also be returned. There are two APIs provided:
|
||||
presence events will also be returned. A single syncing API is provided:
|
||||
|
||||
- |initialSync|_ : A global sync which will present room and event information
|
||||
for all rooms the user has joined.
|
||||
|
||||
.. TODO-spec room-scoped initial sync
|
||||
- |/rooms/<room_id>/initialSync|_ : A sync scoped to a single room. Presents
|
||||
room and event information for this room only.
|
||||
- Room-scoped initial sync is Very Tricky because typically people would
|
||||
want to sync the room then listen for any new content from that point
|
||||
onwards. The event stream cannot do this for a single room currently.
|
||||
As a result, commenting room-scoped initial sync at this time.

||||

||||
.. TODO-doc kegan
|
||||
- TODO: JSON response format for both types
|
||||
- TODO: when would you use global? when would you use scoped?
