sync-node

This is a minimal example showing how to use @tursodatabase/sync in the node.js

The @tursodatabase/sync package extends a regular database with bidirectional synchronization between a local file and a remote Turso Cloud database.

It allows you to:

pull(): fetch and apply remote changes into your local database. This ensures your local state reflects the latest server-side updates.
push(): upload local changes back to the remote database. This is useful when you’ve made inserts/updates locally and want to replicate them to the cloud.

Together, these methods make it possible to work offline-first (mutating the local database) and later sync your changes to Turso Cloud, while also bringing in any updates from other clients.

Usage

bash

npm install

TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN=$(turso db tokens create <db-name>) # create auth token for the database in the Turso Cloud
TURSO_DATABASE_URL=$(turso db show <db-name> --url) # fetch URL for the database in the Turso Cloud
node index.mjs

Here’s a version of your README with a short high-level explanation of what the sync package does, and what pull/push mean in practice:
