Description

Hello, I'm currently using ShareDB for a collaborative editor. However the documents do not need to be persistent, so I am only keeping them in memory. However when they are no longer in use (for example when nobody was subscribed for 10 minutes), I want to delete them automatically. I couldn't find a good way to do this with the Server API, can anyone else here help me?
