API reference › @evolu/common › local‑first/Protocol › encodeDbChange

function encodeDbChange(buffer: Buffer, message: CrdtMessage): void;

Defined in: packages/common/src/local-first/Protocol.ts:2368

Encodes a CrdtMessage as encodeAndEncryptDbChange does before padding and encryption.

Evolu.getMutationSize measures mutations with this encoding, so maxMutationSize limits exactly what is encoded, and every change within it fits one protocol message.
