Remarks

Fields are required by default, but this API can be used to make the required nature explicit in the schema, and allows associating custom properties with the field.

staged

Declares a staged type in a set of AllowedTypes.

This API is provided as an alpha preview and may change without notice.

For more information about our API support guarantees, see here.

Signature

staged: <const T extends LazyItem<TreeNodeSchema>>(t: T | AnnotatedAllowedType<T>) => AnnotatedAllowedType<T>;

Type: <const T extends LazyItem<TreeNodeSchema>>(t: T | AnnotatedAllowedType<T>) => AnnotatedAllowedType<T>

Remarks

Staged allowed types add support for loading documents which may or may not permit an allowed type in a location in a schema. This allows for an incremental rollout of a schema change to add a TreeNodeSchema to an AllowedTypes without breaking cross version collaboration.

Once enough clients have the type staged (and thus can read documents which allow it), documents can start being created and upgraded to allow the staged type. This is done by deploying a new version of the app which removes the staged wrapper around the allowed type in the the schema definition. This will also require upgrading the schema for existing documents.

Using a staged allowed type in a schema is just like using the schema as an allowed type with the following exceptions:

1. initialize(content) will omit the staged allowed type from the newly created stored schema. 2. upgradeSchema() will omit the staged allowed type from the the upgraded stored schema. 3. When evaluating compatibility, it will be viewable even if the staged allowed type is not present in the stored schema's corresponding allowed types. 4. Because of the above, it is possible to get errors when inserting content which uses the staged allowed type when inserting the content into a tree who's stored schema does not permit it.

Currently, staged is not supported in the recursive type APIs: this is a known limitation which future versions of the API will address.
