Bench Sync — <mv-bench-sync>

Local-first sync status that makes pending changes explicit and pushes them only at rest points. The app records every local mutation with queue({ entity, label, key, data }) (same key coalesces, “4 edits”) and provides an async sync(changes) that may partially fail; a compact chip reads Synced · 3 pending · Syncing… · Offline · 1 conflict, and a ring around its icon fills toward the next rest point once you stop typing. Changes are pushed only after idle seconds without typing or pressing, when the tab is hidden, on reconnect or on “Sync now”, never mid-keystroke; max-wait shortens the pause for an old queue and manual turns it into an explicit publish. The panel lists pending changes grouped by entity with their age, status and a discard button; failures stay queued with their reason and retry with jittered exponential backoff, refused changes wait for Retry, and conflicts show the other version with “Keep mine / Keep theirs” through a cancelable mv-conflict whose waitUntil(promise) shows a busy state. Connectivity comes from navigator.onLine plus an optional heartbeat URL (or is forced by the app); the queue persists in localStorage or IndexedDB, is shared across tabs with a Web Lock so only one tab pushes, and a beforeunload guard is attached only while something is pending.

Cultural reference

Hollow Knight — Team Cherry (2017, game). Exploring reveals new areas, but your map only records what you found when you sit down to rest at a bench, so until then your discoveries are pending and can be lost. In the UI, local changes queue up visibly and are committed to the server only at rest points (a pause in typing, leaving the tab, reconnecting, an explicit sync), never mid-keystroke, with failures and conflicts kept in the queue until they are settled.

API

Attributes

NameTypeDefaultDescription
idletime ("4s", "1500ms", ms number)4sRest point: how long without typing, IME composition or a pressed pointer anywhere in the page before pending changes are pushed. The ring around the chip icon fills over this time (clamped to 300 ms–1 h).
max-waittime2mOnce the oldest pending change is this old, a brief pause (1 s) is enough instead of the full idle time, so long typing sessions still sync. Syncing never interrupts an ongoing keystroke burst. 0 disables it.
manualbooleanExplicit publish: nothing is pushed automatically (no idle, hidden-tab, reconnect or retry sync); only “Sync now” or syncNow(). Rename the button with strings.syncNow ("Publish").
inlinebooleanRenders the panel in the page flow (always visible, role="region") instead of a chip with a popover: sidebars, mobile screens, publish reviews.
persiststringStorage key for the queue and the last sync time. Pending changes survive reloads and crashes, and tabs using the same key share one queue. Without it the queue lives in memory only.
storagelocal | indexeddblocalWhere persist writes: localStorage (synchronous, shared live across tabs) or IndexedDB (larger payloads; falls back to localStorage on error). Payloads must be JSON-serializable; never queue secrets.
connectionauto | online | offlineautoauto uses navigator.onLine, the online/offline events and the optional heartbeat. online / offline force the state when the app has its own connectivity signal (native bridge, socket state).
heartbeatURLOptional same-origin endpoint probed with a HEAD request (no-store, 5 s timeout). Any answer below 500 means reachable; a network error or 5xx shows “Server unreachable” and counts as offline until a probe succeeds (backoff 3 s → 60 s).
heartbeat-intervaltime30sProbe period while reachable and visible (minimum 5 s). Probing pauses in hidden tabs.
retrytime2sBase delay of the exponential backoff after a failed sync (2 s, 4 s, 8 s… with ±20% jitter). Retries still wait for a pause in typing.
retry-maxtime5mCap of the backoff delay.
guard"true" | "false"trueAttach a beforeunload confirmation while changes are pending (only then, so the back-forward cache stays usable when everything is synced).
placementbottom-end | bottom-start | bottom | top-end | top-start | topbottom-endPreferred side of the popover panel relative to the chip (flips and shifts to stay in the viewport).
data-statesynced | pending | syncing | offline | conflict | errorSet by the component (styleable). data-offline is added whenever the connection is down, data-resting while the rest ring fills, data-manual in manual mode.

Properties

NameTypeDescription
sync(changes, { reason }) => Promise<void | false | { failed?, conflicts? }>Your push function. It receives copies of the pending and failed changes. Resolve with nothing to mark all as synced; return { failed: [id | { id, reason, retry? }], conflicts: [id | { id, reason, theirs }] } for partial results (anything not listed is synced; retry: false means refused, no automatic retry). Throwing or returning false fails the whole batch and schedules a retry. A change edited again while in flight stays pending.
changesChange[]Copies of the queued changes, oldest first (read-only): { id, entity, entityLabel, label, key, data, createdAt, updatedAt, edits, attempts, status: pending | failed | rejected | conflict, reason, theirs, resolution }.
pendingnumberNumber of changes not yet synced (read-only).
statestringCurrent data-state value (read-only).
onlinebooleanEffective connectivity (read-only).
syncingbooleanTrue while a push is in flight (read-only).
lastSyncedDate | nullTime of the last successful push (persisted with persist).
stringsPartial<Record<string, string | { zero?, one, other }>>Overrides for every visible text and announcement; plural keys take { one, other } (and zero). Keys include chipSynced, chipPending, chipSyncing, chipOffline, chipConflict, chipError, chipDone, title*, text*, syncNow, keepMine, keepTheirs, retry, discardLabel, status*, theirs, edits, lastSynced, agoNow/agoSec/agoMin/agoHour and announce*. English defaults.

Methods

NameDescription
queue(change)Records a local mutation and returns its id. change: { entity, label, entityLabel?, key?, id?, data?, createdAt? }. A queued change with the same key (or id) is updated in place (latest label and data win, edits counts up). status, reason and theirs can be passed to restore a queue from your own store.
syncNow()Pushes every pending and failed change now, ignoring the rest point and the backoff (still requires being online). Returns Promise<{ synced, failed, conflicts } | null>.
discard(id)Drops a change without syncing it, after a cancelable mv-discard (revert your local state there). Not possible while the change is in flight.
resolve(id, "mine" | "theirs")Answers a conflict like the panel buttons: emits the cancelable mv-conflict, waits for its waitUntil promises, then mine re-queues the change with resolution "mine" (your sync should overwrite) and pushes it, theirs drops it. Returns Promise<boolean>.
retryChange(id)Puts a failed or refused change back in line and syncs now.
clear()Empties the queue without events (e.g. on sign-out).
open() / close()Opens or closes the popover panel.

Events

NameDescription
mv-queueA change was queued. detail: { change, coalesced }.
mv-sync-startCancelable, before a push. detail: { changes, reason: "idle" | "max-wait" | "hidden" | "online" | "retry" | "manual" | "resolve", waitUntil(promise) }. Without a sync property, push from here and pass the promise (its result has the same shape). preventDefault() skips this rest point until there is new work.
mv-sync-doneA push settled. detail: { synced, failed, conflicts, reason, duration } (arrays of change copies).
mv-conflictCancelable, when the user picks Keep mine / Keep theirs (or resolve() is called). detail: { change, choice, theirs, waitUntil(promise) }. Apply the server version for theirs here; a rejected promise keeps the conflict and shows an error. preventDefault() leaves it unresolved.
mv-discardCancelable, before a change is dropped. detail: { change }.
mv-offlineThe connection went down. detail: { reason: "network" | "unreachable" | "forced", pending }.
mv-onlineThe connection is back (a sync follows at the next brief pause). detail: { offlineFor, pending }.
mv-statedata-state changed. detail: { state, pending }.

CSS classes

Accessibility

The chip is a real <button> whose accessible name is its visible text (“3 pending”, “Offline · 3 pending”, “1 conflict”) with aria-expanded / aria-controls, and it is described by a visually hidden summary (“3 changes waiting to sync. Online. Last synced 2 min ago.”) that is read on demand, never live. A separate visually hidden role="status" region speaks only on transitions: going offline (with the number of changes kept on the device), back online, a completed sync with its count (routine idle syncs at most once a minute), the first failure of a streak with the retry delay, refused changes and discards; conflicts go to an assertive region. Pending counts and the rest ring never announce. The popover panel is a labelled non-modal dialog placed right after the chip in the DOM, so Tab reaches it naturally; Escape closes it and returns focus to the chip, an outside click closes it. The inline variant is a labelled region. Each entity is a labelled group and each change a list item with native buttons: “Keep mine / Keep theirs”, Retry, and a discard button named after the change (“Discard change: Inlet pressure → 3.4 bar”); buttons that cannot act (in flight, resolving, offline Sync now) stay focusable with aria-disabled, and a pending resolution sets aria-busy. When the focused row leaves (synced or discarded), focus moves to the next row’s discard button, then to Sync now or the chip. State is never color-only: every state has its own icon and words, row marks differ in shape (dot, ring, hollow dot, square, diamond) and the meta line names the status. Reduced motion (OS or data-motion="reduce"): no spinning icons, the rest ring shows as a static dotted ring, rows appear and leave without animation. Forced colors keep the ring, marks and dots visible with system colors.
