ISummarizerNodeWithGC Interface

Extends the functionality of ISummarizerNode to support garbage collection. It adds / updates the following APIs:

usedRoutes: The routes in this node that are currently in use.

getGCData: A new API that can be used to get the garbage collection data for this node.

summarize: Added a trackState flag which indicates whether the summarizer node should track the state of the summary or not.

createChild: Added the following params:

• getGCDataFn: This gets the GC data from the caller. This must be provided in order for getGCData to work.

• getInitialGCDetailsFn: This gets the initial GC details from the caller.

deleteChild: Deletes a child node.

isReferenced: This tells whether this node is referenced in the document or not.

updateUsedRoutes: Used to notify this node of routes that are currently in use in it.

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

To use, import via @fluidframework/runtime-definitions/legacy.

export interface ISummarizerNodeWithGC extends ISummarizerNode

Extends: ISummarizerNode

Methods

Method	Alerts	Return Type	Description
createChild(summarizeInternalFn, id, createParam, config, getGCDataFn, getBaseGCDetailsFn)	Beta	ISummarizerNodeWithGC
deleteChild(id)	Beta	void	Delete the child with the given id..
getChild(id)	Beta	ISummarizerNodeWithGC | undefined
getGCData(fullGC)	Beta	Promise<IGarbageCollectionData>	Returns this node's data that is used for garbage collection. This includes a list of GC nodes that represent this node. Each node has a set of outbound routes to other GC nodes in the document.
isReferenced()	Beta	boolean	Tells whether this node is being referenced in this document or not. Unreferenced node will get GC'd
updateUsedRoutes(usedRoutes)	Beta	void	After GC has run, called to notify this node of routes that are used in it. These are used for the following: 1. To identify if this node is being referenced in the document or not. 2. To identify if this node or any of its children's used routes changed since last summary.
