Classes

Interfaces

Type Aliases

ClientGroupID

Ƭ ClientGroupID: string

The ID describing a group of clients. All clients in the same group share a persistent storage (IDB).


ClientID

Ƭ ClientID: string

The ID describing a client.


ClientStateNotFoundResponse

Ƭ ClientStateNotFoundResponse: Object

In certain scenarios the server can signal that it does not know about the client. For example, the server might have lost all of its state (this might happen during the development of the server).

Type declaration

NameType
error"ClientStateNotFound"

Ƭ Cookie: null | string | number | ReadonlyJSONValue & { order: number | string }

A cookie is a value that is used to determine the order of snapshots. It needs to be comparable. This can be a string, number or if you want to use a more complex value, you can use an object with an order property. The value null is considered to be less than any other cookie and it is used for the first pull when no cookie has been set.

The order is the natural order of numbers and strings. If one of the cookies is an object then the value of the order property is treated as the cookie when doing comparison.

If one of the cookies is a string and the other is a number, the number is fist converted to a string (using toString()).

Ƭ CreateIndexDefinition: IndexDefinition & { name: string }

Pusher

Ƭ Pusher: (requestBody: PushRequest, requestID: string) => Promise<PusherResult>

Type declaration

Pusher is the function type used to do the fetch part of a push. The request is a POST request where the body is JSON with the type PushRequest.

The return value should either be a HTTPRequestInfo or a PusherResult. The reason for the two different return types is that we didn't use to care about the response body of the push request. The default pusher implementation checks if the response body is JSON and if it matches the type PusherResponse. If it does, it is included in the return value.

makeScanResult

makeScanResult<Options>(options, getScanIterator): ScanResult<KeyTypeForScanOptions<Options>, ReadonlyJSONValue>

A helper function that makes it easier to implement scan with a custom backend.

If you are implementing a custom backend and have an in memory pending async iterable we provide two helper functions to make it easier to merge these together. mergeAsyncIterables and filterAsyncIterable.

For example:

const scanResult = makeScanResult(
options,
options.indexName
? () => {
throw Error('not implemented');
}
: fromKey => {
const persisted: AsyncIterable<Entry<ReadonlyJSONValue>> = ...;
const pending: AsyncIterable<Entry<ReadonlyJSONValue | undefined>> = ...;
const iter = await mergeAsyncIterables(persisted, pending);
const filteredIter = await filterAsyncIterable(
iter,
entry => entry[1] !== undefined,
);
return filteredIter;
},
);

mergeAsyncIterables

mergeAsyncIterables<A, B>(iterableBase, iterableOverlay, compare): AsyncIterable<A | B>

Merges an iterable on to another iterable.

The two iterables need to be ordered and the compare function is used to compare two different elements.

If two elements are equal (compare returns 0) then the element from the second iterable is picked.

This utility function is provided because it is useful when using makeScanResult. It can be used to merge an in memory pending async iterable on to a persistent async iterable for example.
