Looks awesome, quick question, is it possible to mutate data from a javascript client? In the API reference, all I see for javascript are event listeners. Also, how would a javascript client receive an access token? https://auth.simperium.com/ does not allow cross origin requests.


Yes definitely, you can update directly using the bucket.update() method, and pass in an id and the data object. The better way would be to implement the 'local' callback to return the data, then just call bucket.update(id), and the library will call your 'local' method to retrieve the current state for that id. You can read about the 'local' callback here: https://simperium.com/docs/reference/js/#local

For auth, we'll be adding cross-origin support for https://auth.simperium.com, up till now we've been focused on supporting apps with existing backends which generally use the HTTP API to generate auth tokens from their server.


perfect, thanks!


We just added support for CORS on both /authorize/ and /create/, let us know if you have any issues
