on GitHub

All packages now provide an isReadOnly flag on user instances. It is available when getting self or others. isReadOnly is true when storage is read-only, see the room management guide for more information.

const me = room.getSelf();

me.isReadOnly; // boolean

const others = room.getOthers();
for (const other of others) {
  other.isReadOnly; // boolean
}

In @liveblocks/client:

• Add a new option shouldInitiallyConnect to client.enter that let you control whether or not the room connects to Liveblock servers. Default is true.

  Usually set to false when the client is used from the server to not call the authentication endpoint or connect via WebSocket.

In @liveblocks/react:

• Add a new property shouldInitiallyConnect to RoomProvider that let you control whether or not the room connects to Liveblock servers. Default is true.

  By default equals to typeof window !== "undefined", meaning the RoomProvider tries to connect to Liveblocks servers only on the client side.

• Internal package restructurings to increase code sharing. You may notice a new dependency show up in your dependency tree: @liveblocks/core. It contains private APIs that aren't intended for direct consumption.
