ISharedSegmentSequence Interface

Packages > fluid-framework > ISharedSegmentSequence

This API is provided for existing users, but is not recommended for new users.

To use, import via fluid-framework/legacy.

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

Signature

export interface ISharedSegmentSequence<T extends ISegment> extends ISharedObject<ISharedSegmentSequenceEvents>, ISharedIntervalCollection<SequenceInterval>, MergeTreeRevertibleDriver

Extends: ISharedObject <ISharedSegmentSequenceEvents >, ISharedIntervalCollection <SequenceInterval >, MergeTreeRevertibleDriver

Type Parameters

Parameter Constraint Description
T ISegment

Methods

Method Alerts Return Type Description
annotateRange(start, end, props) Alpha void Annotates the range with the provided properties
createLocalReferencePosition(segment, offset, refType, properties, slidingPreference, canSlideToEndpoint) Alpha LocalReferencePosition Creates a LocalReferencePosition on this SharedString. If the refType does not include ReferenceType.Transient, the returned reference will be added to the localRefs on the provided segment.
getContainingSegment(pos) Alpha { segment: T | undefined; offset: number | undefined; } Finds the segment information (i.e. segment + offset) corresponding to a character position in the SharedString. If the position is past the end of the string, segment and offset on the returned object may be undefined.
getCurrentSeq() Alpha number
getIntervalCollection(label) Alpha IIntervalCollection<SequenceInterval> Retrieves the interval collection keyed on label. If no such interval collection exists, creates one.
getIntervalCollectionLabels() Alpha IterableIterator<string>
getLength() Alpha number Returns the length of the current sequence for the client
getPosition(segment) Alpha number Returns the current position of a segment, and -1 if the segment does not exist in this sequence
getPropertiesAtPosition(pos) Alpha PropertySet | undefined
getRangeExtentsOfPosition(pos) Alpha { posStart: number | undefined; posAfterEnd: number | undefined; }
groupOperation(groupOp) Deprecated, Alpha void
initializeLocal() Alpha void Initializes the object as a local, non-shared object. This object can become shared after it is attached to the document.
insertAtReferencePosition(pos, segment) Alpha void Inserts a segment directly before a ReferencePosition.
insertFromSpec(pos, spec) Alpha void Inserts a segment
localReferencePositionToPosition(lref) Alpha number

Resolves a ReferencePosition into a character position using this client's perspective.

Reference positions that point to a character that has been removed will always return the position of the nearest non-removed character, regardless of ReferenceType. To handle this case specifically, one may wish to look at the segment returned by ReferencePosition.getSegment.

obliterateRange(start, end) Alpha void Obliterate is similar to remove, but differs in that segments concurrently inserted into an obliterated range will also be removed
posFromRelativePos(relativePos) Alpha number Given a position specified relative to a marker id, lookup the marker and convert the position to a character position.
removeLocalReferencePosition(lref) Alpha LocalReferencePosition | undefined Removes a LocalReferencePosition from this SharedString.
removeRange(start, end) Alpha void
resolveRemoteClientPosition(remoteClientPosition, remoteClientRefSeq, remoteClientId) Alpha number | undefined Resolves a remote client's position against the local sequence and returns the remote client's position relative to the local sequence. The client ref seq must be above the minimum sequence number or the return value will be undefined. Generally this method is used in conjunction with signals which provide point in time values for the below parameters, and is useful for things like displaying user position. It should not be used with persisted values as persisted values will quickly become invalid as the remoteClientRefSeq moves below the minimum sequence number
walkSegments(handler, start, end, accum, splitRange) Alpha void

Walk the underlying segments of the sequence. The walked segments may extend beyond the range if the segments cross the ranges start or end boundaries.

Set split range to true to ensure only segments within the range are walked.
