DataObject Class

DataObject is a base data store that is primed with a root directory. It ensures that it is created and ready before you can access it.

Having a single root directory allows for easier development. Instead of creating and registering channels with the runtime any new DDS that is set on the root will automatically be registered.

Signature

export declare abstract class DataObject<I extends DataObjectTypes = DataObjectTypes> extends PureDataObject<I>

Extends: PureDataObject

Type Parameters

Parameter	Constraint	Default	Description
I	DataObjectTypes	DataObjectTypes	The optional input types used to strongly type the data object

Properties

Property	Type	Description
root	ISharedDirectory	The root directory will either be ready or will return an error. If an error is thrown the root has not been correctly created/set.

Methods

Method	Return Type	Description
getUninitializedErrorString(item)	string	Generates an error string indicating an item is uninitialized.
initializeInternal(existing)	Promise<void>	Initializes internal objects and calls initialization overrides. Caller is responsible for ensuring this is only invoked once.
request(request)	Promise<IResponse>	Return this object if someone requests it directly We will return this object in two scenarios: 1. the request url is a "/" 2. the request url is empty
