event.conflicts

Overview

If there are document conflicts gathered from iCloud.docConflicts(), this table will contain an entry (table) for each conflict. Each instance will contain the following properties:

• origin — String name of the device where the conflict originated.

• time — Number indicating the modification date of the conflict, formatted similar to os.time().

• dataHandle — String value which can be used to retrieve the conflict data — see the next section for details.

Resolving Conflicts

Conflicts should be resolved. Here is an example workflow:

1. Merge the data automatically or ask the user to choose which version to keep. iCloud.docConflictData() can be used to retrieve conflict data.

2. Write the proper version to the file with iCloud.docWrite().

3. Resolve and delete conflicted versions with iCloud.docResolve().
