Node.js and Sync can't found 'User'

See original GitHub issue

Hello, I’m trying to follow the documentation regarding using realm with Node.js and the sync functionallity.

I’m running the realm mobile plattform in a ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine and it is working properly. I’m using node v7.5.0 and npm 4.1.2 I installed realm for nodeusing: npm install --save realm

And I test it locally using the NodeInterprocess example and it is working.

However when I try to use the example code to sync:

'use strict';
var Realm = require('realm');

Realm.Sync.User.login(/* ... */, (error, user) => {
  if (!error) {
    var realm = new Realm({
      sync: {
        user: user,
        url: 'realm://object-server-url:9080/~/my-realm',
      },
      schema: [/* ... */]
    });

    realm.write(() => { 
      /* ... */
    })
  }
})

I receive the following error:

Realm.Sync.User.login('realm://192.168.1.230:9080', 'user@email.com', 'password', (error, user) => {
          ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'User' of undefined

    at run (bootstrap_node.js:418:7)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:139:9)
    at bootstrap_node.js:533:3

Am I missing something?

@kristiandupont according to https://realm.io/pricing “Two-way, Realtime Synchronization” is supported for the Developer Edition. If this is only for MacOS you should explicitly mention that.

What about Server-side Access and Event Handling? Are they supported on any OS for the Developer Edition?

@kristiandupont what is the reasoning behind making sync only available on MacOS? It doesn’t make sense to me. If it’s a server chances are it will be Linux.
