Can I get a little more description on what these desired "events" are? I've got the downtime to figure it out

[gr2m]

Hey @stevemasta34, these events are about the account JavaScript API that we use within the route handlers, but also expose at server.plugins.account.api. You can see the full documentation at https://github.com/hoodiehq/hoodie-account-server-api/blob/master/README.md, the events are described here: https://github.com/hoodiehq/hoodie-account-server-api/blob/master/README.md#events

We can start with the api.accounts events, everything should be in place to make them work. Sessions are blocked because we currently do not persist them, we could only trigger an "add" event. Requests are also not persisted yet, but we plan to implement that soon.

So, what we’d want to do here is to use PouchDB’s changes feed to emit add, update or remove events, which also always trigger a change event. The API should look like this

api.accounts.on('add', function(account) {})
api.accounts.on('update', function(account) {})
api.accounts.on('remove', function(account) {})
api.accounts.on('change', function(eventName, account) {})

Makes sense?

[stephenjfox]

Yes this make a lot of sense. I'll start a local branch, and if I get any headway (or stuck) I'll start the PR.

Heya @stevemasta34: did you get anywhere with this?

If wanna share some in-progess work, I‘d be happy to help :)

[stephenjfox]

Hey @janl my work life has kind of taken over my personal life, so my progress has been minimal; my free time disappeared. You're more than welcome to take the lead on this one, and I'll tag in this weekend.
