> A library of Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types for JavaScript.
***Work In Progress***
This module provides a set of Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types for your JavaScript programs. All CRDTs in this library, except G-Counter, are currently operation-based.
CRDTs implemented in this module:
- [G-Counter](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/G-Counter.js)
- [PN-Counter](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/PN-Counter.js)
- [G-Set](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/G-Set.js)
- [2P-Set](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/2P-Set.js)
- [OR-Set](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/OR-Set.js)
- [LWW-Set](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src/LWW-Set.js)
## Install
This module uses [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) and [node](https://nodejs.org/en/).
To install, run:
```sh
$ npm install crdts
```
## Usage
```javascript
import { GCounter, PNCounter, GSet, TwoPSet, ORSet, LWWSet, GSet, ORSet, LWWSet } from 'crdts'
```
See the [source code for each CRDT](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/src) for the APIs and [tests](https://github.com/orbitdb/crdts/blob/master/test/) for usage examples.
## Inheritance
```
+-----------++-----------++----------++---------++------------++------------+
Data Type | OR-Set || LWW-Set || 2P-Set || G-Set || G-Counter || PN-Counter |
+-----------++-----------++----------++---------++------------++------------+
Base Class | CmRDT-Set | -- |
|-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
CRDT Type | Operation-Based | State-based |
+-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
