Velt Live State Sync Best Practices

Comprehensive guide for implementing Velt's Live State Sync API — real-time shared state across clients with sub-10ms latency, offline support, and Redux middleware integration. Contains 14 rules across 6 categories.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Adding real-time shared state (counters, selections, cursors, tool modes) to a collaborative app
• Using useLiveState for useState-like shared state
• Using useSetLiveStateData / useLiveStateData for separated read/write patterns
• Working with the LiveStateSyncElement for observable subscriptions or promise-based fetches
• Integrating Redux with createLiveStateMiddleware for full store sync
• Broadcasting state updates from your server via the REST API
• Monitoring connection state for offline/online indicators
