// MakeDrive API - https://github.com/mozilla/makedrive
var MakeDrive = require('./path/to/makedrive.js');

// fs API - https://github.com/js-platform/filer#filer
var fs = MakeDrive.fs();

// Use fs right away, with or without network
fs.mkdir('/project', function(err) {
  if(err) throw err;

  fs.writeFile('/project/index.html', '<p>Hello World!</p>', function(err) {
    if(err) throw err; 
    
    // /project/index.html is now written to disk
  });
});

// When you want to sync, get the fs' sync object
var sync = fs.sync;

// Listen for events you care about
sync.on('error', function(err) {
  // There was an error during syncing  
});

sync.on('connected', function() {
  // Connected to sync server
});

sync.on('disconnected', function() {
  // Disconnected from sync server
});

sync.on('syncing', function() {
  // Syncing with server
});

sync.on('completed', function() {
  // Completed syncing with server
});

// Connect to the server
sync.connect('ws://server-url.com');

// [Optional, if in manual mode] Request an upstream sync with the server
sync.request();
