##<app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution>

app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution enables declarative configuration of conflict resolution strategies ordered by logical relationships in the DOM. Currently two basic strategies are supported: firstWriteWins and lastWriteWins.

To use app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution, simply include the element somewhere in a document subtree at or above the ShadowRoot of an app-pouchdb-document or app-pouchdb-query:

<app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution
    strategy="lastWriteWins">
</app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution>
<app-pouchdb-document
    db-name="cats"
    doc-id="parsnip">
</app-pouchdb-document>

When a conflict occurs, the app-pouchdb-document will request fire an event to notify of the conflict and request a resolution strategy. The app-pouchdb-conflict-resolution element listens at its nearest ShadowRoot boundary for conflict notifications, and responds to them as needed with a configured strategy.

##<app-pouchdb-document>

app-pouchdb-document is an implementation of Polymer.AppStorageBehavior for reading and writing to individual PouchDB documents.

In order to refer to a PouchDB document, provide the name of the database (both local and remote databases are supported) and the ID of the document.

For example:

<app-pouchdb-document
    db-name="cats"
    doc-id="parsnip">
</app-pouchdb-document>

In the above example, a PouchDB instance will be created to connect to the local database named "cats". Then it will check to see if a document with the ID "parsnip" exists. If it does, the data property of the document will be set to the value of the document. If it does not, then any subsequent assignments to the data property will cause a document with ID "parsnip" to be created.

Here is an example of a simple form that can be used to read and write to a PouchDB document:

<app-pouchdb-document
    db-name="cats"
    doc-id="parsnip"
    data="{{cat}}">
</app-pouchdb-document>
<input
    is="iron-input"
    bind-value="{{cat.name}}">
</input>

##<app-pouchdb-index>

app-pouchdb-index enables declarative, idempotent configuration of database indexes. The semantics map to those of the pouchdb-find plugin. For more information on creating PouchDB indexes with pouchdb-find, please refer to the documentation here.

Note: at least one index must be created in order for app-pouchdb-query to work.

##<app-pouchdb-query>

app-pouchdb-query allows for declarative, read-only querying into a PouchDB database. The semantics for querying match those of the pouchdb-find plugin.

In order to create an app-pouchdb-query against any field other than _id, at least one index needs to have been created in your PouchDB database. You can use app-pouchdb-index to do this declaratively. For example:

<app-pouchdb-index
    db-name="cats"
    fields='["name"]'>
</app-pouchdb-index>
<app-pouchdb-query
    db-name="cats"
    selector="name $exists true"
    fields='["_id","name"]'
    sort='["name"]'
    data="{{cats}}">
</app-pouchdb-query>

In the above example, an index is created on the "name" field of the "cats" database. This allows the query to select by the "name" field, and sort by the "name" field.

By default, PouchDB creates an index on the "_id" field, so if you don't particularly care about sorting or selecting on other fields, you don't need to create any extra indexes.

Describing selectors

This element requires a specialized selector syntax that maps to the semantics of the pouchdb-find plugin. For example, if you wish to create the following selector:

{
  series: 'Mario',
  debut: { $gt: 1990 }
}

You should format the selector property this way:

"series $eq 'Mario', debut $gt 1990"

This makes selectors more convenient to write declaratively, while still maintaining the ability to express selectors with full fidelity. For more documentation on pouchdb-find selectors, please check out the docs here.

##<app-pouchdb-sync>

app-pouchdb-sync arranges for one-directional or bi-directional synchronization between two PouchDB databases. For one-directional synchronization, it forwards to PouchDB.replicate, and for bi-directional synchronization, it forwards to PouchDB.sync.

Here is an example of bi-directional synchronization between a local database and a remote one:

<app-pouchdb-sync
    src="cats"
    target="https://example.com:5678/cats"
    bidirectional>
</app-pouchdb-sync>

For more information on PouchDB synchronization topics, please refer to the documentation here.

##Polymer.AppPouchDBDatabaseBehavior

Polymer.AppPouchDBDatabaseBehavior is an abstract implementation that is intended to be shared by any element that refers to and operates on a PouchDB database instance. It includes implementation for creating and configuring a PouchDB database instance, and some advanced macro operations that might be performed on the database, including "upsert" and conflict-aware "put" and "post" operations.
