Subdocs

[ImSingee]

Is there any plan to support yjs’s sub docs feature? It’a useful to develop a notes app (like the official example, use folder as root document).

hey @ImSingee, supports for subdocuments is planned, but probably towards the end of the year. We haven't started on this yet, so feel free to help if you can :-)

@janthurau Thanks for your reply! This must be a killing feature since there is almost no provider supports the sub document feature.

I'm planning to develop an app with this feature, I will look into hocuspocus's implementation and have a look to see if I can help.

👍 let me know if you wanna discuss on Discord, I have some idea already (not sure if it would work though). There is also an idea here (not for hocuspocus, but it kinda shows the idea): https://discuss.yjs.dev/t/multiple-room-sync-subdocument/403/4

Can someone explain to me what already works and what doesn't in terms of subdocuments? I mean, are at least the GUID's in the map synced?

I'm also interested in subdocuments, but it's not clear to me if it's at all possible even via workarounds?

What is the current thinking on how it will be supported? The current API seems very focused on documents, which would not allow pretending that a subdocument is a document?
