@fluidframework/map Package

The map package provides interfaces and implementing classes for map-like distributed data structures.

Remarks

The following distributed data structures are defined in this package:

Interfaces

Interface Description
IDirectory Interface describing actions on a directory.
IDirectoryClearOperation Operation indicating the directory should be cleared.
IDirectoryCreateSubDirectoryOperation Operation indicating a subdirectory should be created.
IDirectoryDataObject Defines the in-memory object structure to be used for the conversion to/from serialized.
IDirectoryDeleteOperation Operation indicating a key should be deleted from the directory.
IDirectoryDeleteSubDirectoryOperation Operation indicating a subdirectory should be deleted.
IDirectoryEvents Events emitted in response to changes to the directory data.
IDirectoryNewStorageFormat
IDirectorySetOperation Operation indicating a value should be set for a key.
IDirectoryValueChanged Type of "valueChanged" event parameter for SharedDirectory.
ILocalValue A local value to be stored in a container type DDS.
ISerializableValue The _ready-for-serialization_ format of values contained in DDS contents. This allows us to use ISerializableValue.type to understand whether they're storing a Plain JS object, a SharedObject, or a value type.
ISerializedValue
ISharedDirectory Interface describing a shared directory.
ISharedDirectoryEvents Events emitted in response to changes to the directory data. These events only emit on the ISharedDirectory itself, and not on subdirectories.
ISharedMap Shared map interface
ISharedMapEvents Events emitted in response to changes to the map data.
IValueChanged Type of "valueChanged" event parameter.

Classes

Class Modifiers Description
DirectoryFactory sealed The factory that defines the directory.
LocalValueMaker A LocalValueMaker enables a container type DDS to produce and store local values with minimal awareness of how those objects are stored, serialized, and deserialized.
MapFactory sealed The factory that defines the map.
SharedDirectory sealed SharedDirectory provides a hierarchical organization of map-like data structures as SubDirectories. The values stored within can be accessed like a map, and the hierarchy can be navigated using path syntax. SubDirectories can be retrieved for use as working directories.
SharedMap The SharedMap distributed data structure can be used to store key-value pairs. It provides the same API for setting and retrieving values that JavaScript developers are accustomed to with the Map built-in object. However, the keys of a SharedMap must be strings.

Types

TypeAlias Description
IDirectoryKeyOperation An operation on a specific key within a directory
IDirectoryOperation Any operation on a directory
IDirectoryStorageOperation An operation on one or more of the keys within a directory
IDirectorySubDirectoryOperation An operation on the subdirectories within a directory
