ISharedMap Interface

The SharedMap distributed data structure can be used to store key-value pairs.

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.

Sealed

This type is "sealed," meaning that code outside of the library defining it should not implement or extend it. Future versions of this type may add members or make typing of readonly members more specific.

Signature

/** @sealed */
export interface ISharedMap extends ISharedObject<ISharedMapEvents>, Map<string, any>

Extends: ISharedObject<ISharedMapEvents>, Map<string, any>

Remarks

SharedMap 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, and the values must either be a JSON-serializable object or a FluidObjectHandle.

Note: unlike JavaScript maps, SharedMap does not make any guarantees regarding enumeration order.

For more information, including example usages, see https://fluidframework.com/docs/data-structures/map/.
