Using @y-sweet/sdk

Here’s how access control works in y-sweet:

• Your server (i.e. your Next.js server component) connects to y-sweet using an API key and asks for a client token for a specific document.
• Your server then passes that client token to the client, often as props to a client-side React component.
• Your client then connects to y-sweet using the client token.

The client token contains all the information needed for the client to connect to a y-sweet document, so the client doesn’t need any configuration. But you do need to tell your server how to talk to y-sweet, by passing a server token.

A server token combines a URL and a secret key. It can be represented either as a JSON object with url and token as keys, or as a JSONified string of the same. This makes it easy to store the server token in a secret store, and pass it to your server code as an environment variable.

import { YDocProvider } from '@y-sweet/react'
import { getOrCreateDocAndToken } from '@y-sweet/sdk'

type HomeProps = {
  searchParams: Record<string, string>
}

export default async function Home({ searchParams }: HomeProps) {
    // Point to a local or production y-sweet server.
    const connectionString = "ys://localhost:8080"

    const clientToken = await getOrCreateDocAndToken(connectionString, searchParams.doc)

    return (
        <YDocProvider clientToken={clientToken} setQueryParam="doc">
            // Call your collaborative interface here
        </YDocProvider>
    )
}
