ts
changedAttrs(cacheKey): ChangedAttributesHash;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:363

Query the cache for the changed attributes of a resource.

Returns a map of field names to tuples of [old, new] values

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

Returns

ChangedAttributesHash

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:406

Query the cache for the changes to relationships of a resource.

Returns a map of relationship names to RelationshipDiff objects.

ts
type RelationshipDiff =

diff()

ts
diff(): Promise<Change[]>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:235

Generate the list of changes applied to all record in the store.

Each individual resource or document that has been mutated should be described as an individual Change entry in the returned array.

A Change is described by an object containing up to three properties: (1) the CacheKey of the entity that changed; (2) the op code of that change being one of upsert or remove, and if the op is upsert a patch containing the data to merge into the cache for the given entity.

This patch is opaque to the Store but should be understood by the Cache and may expect to be utilized by an Adapter when generating data during a save operation.

It is generally recommended that the patch contain only the updated state, ignoring fields that are unchanged

ts
interface Change {
 key: ResourceKey | RequestKey;
 op: 'upsert' | 'remove';
 patch?: unknown;
}

Returns

Promise<Change[]>


dump()

ts
dump(): Promise<ReadableStream<unknown>>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:248

Serialize the entire contents of the Cache into a Stream which may be fed back into a new instance of the same Cache via cache.hydrate.

Returns

Promise<ReadableStream<unknown>>


fork()

ts
fork(): Promise<Cache>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:191

Create a fork of the cache from the current state.

Applications should typically not call this method themselves, preferring instead to fork at the Store level, which will utilize this method to fork the cache.

Returns

Promise<Cache>

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:334

Retrieve the data for an attribute from the cache

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

field

string | string[]

getErrors(cacheKey): ApiError[];

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:469

Query the cache for any validation errors applicable to the given resource.

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

Returns

ApiError[]

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

field

string | string[]

Returns

undefined | Value


getRemoteRelationship()

ts
getRemoteRelationship(
   cacheKey, 
   field, 
   isCollection?): 
  | ResourceRelationship<ResourceKey>
| CollectionRelationship<ResourceKey>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:445

Query the cache for the server state of a relationship property without any local changes

Parameters

hasChangedAttrs()

ts
hasChangedAttrs(cacheKey): boolean;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:370

Query the cache for whether any mutated attributes exist

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

Returns

boolean


hasChangedRelationships()

Returns

boolean


hydrate()

ts
hydrate(stream): Promise<void>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:264

hydrate a Cache from a Stream with content previously serialized from another instance of the same Cache, resolving when hydration is complete.

This method should expect to be called both in the context of restoring the Cache during application rehydration after SSR AND at unknown times during the lifetime of an already booted application when it is desired to bulk-load additional information into the cache. This latter behavior supports optimizing pre/fetching of data for route transitions via data-only SSR modes.

Returns

Promise<void>

Parameters

cacheKey

Returns

boolean


isDeletionCommitted()

ts
isDeletionCommitted(cacheKey): boolean;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:500

Query the cache for whether a given resource has been deleted and that deletion has also been persisted.

Parameters

cacheKey

ResourceKey

Returns

isNew()

ts

Returns

boolean


merge()

ts
merge(cache): Promise<void>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:201

Merge a fork back into a parent Cache.

Applications should typically not call this method themselves, preferring instead to merge at the Store level, which will utilize this method to merge the caches.

Parameters

Cache

Returns

Promise<void>


mutate()

mutate(mutation): void;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:89

Update the "local" or "current" (unpersisted) state of the Cache

Parameters

mutation

Mutation

Returns

void


patch()

ts
patch(op): void;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:82

Update the "remote" or "canonical" (persisted) state of the Cache by merging new information into the existing state.

Operation | Operation[]

Returns

void


peek()

Call Signature

ts
peek<T>(cacheKey): null | T;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:121

Peek resource data from the Cache.

In development, if the return value is JSON the return value will be deep-cloned and deep-frozen to prevent mutation thereby enforcing cache Immutability.

This form of peek is useful for implementations that want to feed raw-data from cache to the UI or which want to interact with a blob of data directly from the presentation cache.

An implementation might want to do this because de-referencing records which read from their own blob is generally safer because the record does not require retainining connections to the Store and Cache to present data on a per-field basis.

This generally takes the place of getAttr as an API and may even take the place of getRelationship depending on implementation specifics, though this latter usage is less recommended due to the advantages of the Graph handling necessary entanglements and notifications for relational data.

Type Parameters
T

T = unknown

Parameters
cacheKey

ResourceKey<TypeFromInstanceOrString<T>>

Returns

null | T

the known resource data, if any

Call Signature

ts
peek(cacheKey): 
  | null
  | ResourceDocument;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:122

Parameters
cacheKey

RequestKey

Returns

| null | ResourceDocument


peekRemoteState()

Call Signature

ts
peekRemoteState<T>(cacheKey): null | T;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:156

Peek remote resource data from the Cache.

This will give the data provided from the server without any local changes.

In development, if the return value is JSON the return value will be deep-cloned and deep-frozen to prevent mutation thereby enforcing cache Immutability.

This form of peek is useful for implementations that want to feed raw-data from cache to the UI or which want to interact with a blob of data directly from the presentation cache.

An implementation might want to do this because de-referencing records which read from their own blob is generally safer because the record does not require retainining connections to the Store and Cache to present data on a per-field basis.

This generally takes the place of getAttr as an API and may even take the place of getRelationship depending on implementation specifics, though this latter usage is less recommended due to the advantages of the Graph handling necessary entanglements and notifications for relational data.

Type Parameters
T

T = unknown

Parameters
cacheKey

ResourceKey<TypeFromInstanceOrString<T>>

Returns

null | T

the known data, if any

Call Signature

ts
peekRemoteState(cacheKey): 
  | null
  | ResourceDocument;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:157

Parameters
cacheKey

RequestKey

Returns

| null | ResourceDocument


peekRequest()

ts
peekRequest(cacheKey): 
  | null
| StructuredDocument<ResourceDocument>;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:169

Peek the Cache for the existing request data associated with a cacheable request

This is effectively the reverse of put for a request in that it will return the the request, response, and content whereas peek will return just the content.

Parameters

cacheKey

RequestKey

Returns

| null | StructuredDocument<ResourceDocument>


put()

ts
put<T>(doc): ResourceDocument;

Defined in: core/src/types/cache.ts:73

Cache the response to a request

Unlike store.push which has UPSERT semantics, put has replace semantics similar to the http method PUT

the individually cacheable resource data it may contain should upsert, but the document data surrounding it should fully replace any existing information

Note that in order to support inserting arbitrary data to the cache that did not originate from a request put should expect to sometimes encounter a document with only a content member and therefor must not assume the existence of request and response on the document.

Type Parameters

T

T

Parameters

doc

StructuredDocument<T> | { content: T; }

Returns

ResourceDocument
