Description
Further extension of the work already pushed in #275 and linked to fixes for #170 and #213.
The fix in #275 fixed a mismatch for referring to
node.
when receiving client events, what this then affected was our state management, wherenode._msg
was lost in the old instance ofnode
, so on refresh/re-deploy, this data was lost (previously it had maintained the event handlers on the oldnode
).In this PR, I have extracted all server-side state management out of
node._msg
pattern and into a commondatastore
service. This will also be beneficial for third-party integrations, as they can extend that same datastore, and not need to build their own solutions.Adds "state management" documentation, and updates the events architecture diagram.
