# Client Sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is symlinked in as an `internal_package` of Nylas Mail via the `postinstall`
|
||
|
|
script of the root repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Important Usage Notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this is symlinked in as an `internal_package` of Nylas Mail, there are a
|
||
|
|
handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You MAY use `NylasEnv`, `NylasExports` and other injected libraries in the
|
||
|
|
Nylas Mail client environment.
|
||
|
|
- You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in `client-app/package.json`.
|
||
|
|
Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have
|
||
|
|
access to all libraries. This works because the `client-app/node_modules` was
|
||
|
|
added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins
|
||
|
|
without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a
|
||
|
|
sibling of client-app)
|
||
|
|
- You may NOT add "dependencies" to the `client-sync/package.json`. If you need
|
||
|
|
a 3rd party library, add it to the main `client-app/package.json`. All Nylas
|
||
|
|
Mail plugins (those inside of `internal_packages`), may no longer declare
|
||
|
|
their own dependencies.
|
||
|
|
- You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to `isomorphic-core`.
|
||
|
|
We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud
|
||
|
|
environment as well.
