Contentstack’s JavaScript SDK supports Sync API, which you can use to build powerful apps.

It returns all the published entries and assets of the specified stack in response. To start the Initial Sync process, use the syncStack method. - - let data = Stack.sync({"init": true}) - data.then(function(sync_data, err) { - //error for any error description - //sync_data.items: contains sync data - //sync_data.paginationToken: for fetching the next batch of entries using pagination token - //sync_token.syncToken: for performing subsequent sync after initial sync - if (err) throw err - }) -The response also contains a sync token, which you need to store, since this token is used to get subsequent delta updates later, as shown in the Subsequent Sync section below. +```javascript +let data = Stack.sync({"init": true}) +data.then(function(sync_data, err) { + //error for any error description + //sync_data.items: contains sync data + //sync_data.paginationToken: for fetching the next batch of entries using pagination token + //sync_token.syncToken: for performing subsequent sync after initial sync + if (err) throw err +}) +``` -You can also fetch custom results in initial sync by using advanced sync queries. +The response also contains a sync token, which you need to store, since this token is used to get subsequent delta updates later, as shown in the Subsequent Sync section below. +You can also fetch custom results in initial sync by using advanced sync queries. ##### Sync pagination -If the result of the initial sync (or subsequent sync) contains more than 100 records, the response would be paginated. It provides pagination token in the response. You will need to use this token to get the next batch of data. +If the result of the initial sync (or subsequent sync) contains more than 100 records, the response would be paginated.

The sync token fetches only the content that was added after your last sync, and the details of the content that was deleted or updated. - - let data = Stack.sync({"sync_token" : “”}) - data.then(function(sync_data, err) { - //error for any error description - //sync_data.items: contains sync data - //sync_data.paginationToken: for fetching the next batch of entries using pagination token - //sync_token.syncToken: for performing subsequent sync after initial sync - if(err) throw err - }) +```javascript +let data = Stack.sync({"sync_token" : “”}) +data.then(function(sync_data, err) { + //error for any error description + //sync_data.items: contains sync data + //sync_data.paginationToken: for fetching the next batch of entries using pagination token + //sync_token.syncToken: for performing subsequent sync after initial sync + if(err) throw err +}) +``` ##### Advanced sync queries You can use advanced sync queries to fetch custom results while performing initial sync.
