@fluidframework/sequence Package

Supports distributed data structures which are list-like.

This library's main export is SharedString, a DDS for storing and simultaneously editing a sequence of text.

See the package's README for a high-level introduction to SharedString's feature set.

Remarks

Note that SharedString is a sequence DDS but it has additional specialized features and behaviors for working with text.

Interfaces

Interface	Alerts	Description
IInterval	Legacy	Basic interval abstraction
IIntervalCollection	Deprecated, Legacy	Collection of intervals that supports addition, modification, removal, and efficient spatial querying. Changes to this collection will be incur updates on collaborating clients (i.e. they are not local-only).
IIntervalCollectionEvent	Deprecated, Legacy	Change events emitted by IntervalCollections
IntervalIndex	Deprecated, Legacy	Collection of intervals. Implementers of this interface will typically implement additional APIs to support efficiently querying a collection of intervals in some manner, for example: - "find all intervals with start endpoint between these two points" - "find all intervals which overlap this range" etc.
IOverlappingIntervalsIndex	Deprecated, Legacy	The generic version of this interface is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use ISequenceOverlappingIntervalsIndex instead.
ISequenceDeltaRange	Legacy	A range that has changed corresponding to a segment modification.
ISequenceIntervalCollection	Legacy	Collection of intervals that supports addition, modification, removal, and efficient spatial querying. Changes to this collection will be incur updates on collaborating clients (i.e. they are not local-only).
ISequenceIntervalCollectionEvents	Legacy	Change events emitted by IntervalCollections
ISequenceOverlappingIntervalsIndex	Legacy
ISerializableInterval	Legacy
ISerializedInterval	Legacy	Serialized object representation of an interval. This representation is used for ops that create or change intervals.
ISharedIntervalCollection	Deprecated, Legacy
ISharedSegmentSequence	Legacy
ISharedSegmentSequenceEvents	Legacy	Events emitted in response to changes to the sequence data.
ISharedString	Legacy	Fluid object interface describing access methods on a SharedString
SequenceDeltaEvent	Legacy	The event object returned on sequenceDelta events. The properties of this object and its sub-objects represent the state of the sequence at the point in time at which the operation was applied. They will not take into consideration any future modifications performed to the underlying sequence and merge tree. For group ops, each op will get its own event, and the group op property will be set on the op args. Ops may get multiple events. For instance, an insert-replace will get a remove then an insert event.
SequenceEvent	Legacy	Base class for SequenceDeltaEvent and SequenceMaintenanceEvent. The properties of this object and its sub-objects represent the state of the sequence at the point in time at which the operation was applied. They will not take into any future modifications performed to the underlying sequence and merge tree.
SequenceInterval	Legacy	Interval implementation whose ends are associated with positions in a mutatable sequence. As such, when content is inserted into the middle of the interval, the interval expands to include that content.
SequenceIntervalIndex	Legacy	Collection of intervals. Implementers of this interface will typically implement additional APIs to support efficiently querying a collection of intervals in some manner, for example: - "find all intervals with start endpoint between these two points" - "find all intervals which overlap this range" etc.
SequenceMaintenanceEvent	Legacy	The event object returned on maintenance events. The properties of this object and its sub-objects represent the state of the sequence at the point in time at which the operation was applied. They will not take into consideration any future modifications performed to the underlying sequence and merge tree.
