how to reload/refresh ShareDB document?

[icoco]

as topic, a document was created as follow code :

const shareDBDoc = this.shareDBConnection.get('documents', key ); 
...
shareDBDoc.create(initialDocument, json1Presence.type.uri);

since the document does not reload file from disk realtime, have to reload/refresh document manually,

I use ' shareDBDoc.destory() ', it does not work, report error bellow:

ShareDBError: Document already exists

my questions, how to reload or refresh the shareDBDoc ? can not find relative guide from the online document yet..

thank for help in advance

You want doc.subscribe() for live updates.

sharedb couldn't detect change by outside, the only way is using submitOp submit a operation,

[icoco]

use 'submitOp' save local change to server ?

question is , if the document was change by other Editor or user create a new folder on server, what method can sync / refresh ? I found seem no way to sync the change , a little confuse , maybe I have not read the document more carefully

If you're interfacing with the actual file system, that's outside the scope of ShareDB itself, but you can use something like chokidar to listen for changes to the file system, compute diffs maybe using json0-ot-diff, then submit the resulting ops. I'm looking to do the same thing actually in VZCode: Watch File System.
