SharedMap Class

Packages > @fluidframework/map > 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.

Signature:

export declare class SharedMap extends SharedObject<ISharedMapEvents> implements ISharedMap 

Extends: SharedObject<ISharedMapEvents>

Implements: ISharedMap

Constructors

List of constructors for this class
Constructor Modifiers Description
(constructor)(id, runtime, attributes) Do not call the constructor. Instead, you should use the create method.

Properties

List of properties for this class
Property Modifiers Type Description
[Symbol.toStringTag] string String representation for the class.
size number The number of key/value pairs stored in the map.

Methods

List of methods on this class
Method Modifiers Description
[Symbol.iterator]() Get an iterator over the entries in this map.
clear() Clear all data from the map.
create(runtime, id) static Create a new shared map.
delete(key) Delete a key from the map.
entries() Get an iterator over the entries in this map.
forEach(callbackFn) Executes the given callback on each entry in the map.
get(key) Retrieves the given key from the map.
getFactory() static Get a factory for SharedMap to register with the data store.
getSerializableStorage()
has(key) Check if a key exists in the map.
keys() Get an iterator over the keys in this map.
loadCore(branchId, storage) Allows the distributed data type to perform custom loading
onDisconnect() Called when the object has disconnected from the delta stream.
processCore(message, local, localOpMetadata) Derived classes must override this to do custom processing on a remote message.
registerCore() Allows the distributed data type the ability to perform custom processing once an attach has happened.
reSubmitCore(content, localOpMetadata) Called when a message has to be resubmitted. This typically happens after a reconnection for unacked messages. The default implementation here is to resubmit the same message. The client can override if different behavior is required. It can choose to resubmit the same message, submit different / multiple messages or not submit anything at all.
set(key, value) Sets the value stored at key to the provided value.
snapshot() Gets a form of the object that can be serialized.
values() Get an iterator over the values in this map.
wait(key) A form of get except it will only resolve the promise once the key exists in the map.

Constructors

SharedMap.(constructor)

Do not call the constructor. Instead, you should use the create method.

Signature:

constructor(id: string, runtime: IFluidDataStoreRuntime, attributes: IChannelAttributes);

Parameters

List of parameters
Parameter Type Description
id string String identifier.
runtime IFluidDataStoreRuntime Data store runtime.
attributes IChannelAttributes The attributes for the map.

Properties

[Symbol.toStringTag]

String representation for the class.

Signature:

readonly [Symbol.toStringTag]: string;

size

The number of key/value pairs stored in the map.

Signature:

get size(): number;

Methods

Signature:

[Symbol.iterator](): IterableIterator<[string, any]>;

Returns:

IterableIterator<[string, any]>

The iterator

clear

Clear all data from the map.

Signature:

clear(): void;

void

create

Create a new shared map.

Signature:

static create(runtime: IFluidDataStoreRuntime, id?: string): SharedMap;

Parameters

List of parameters
Parameter Type Description

Delete a key from the map.

Signature:

delete(key: string): boolean;

Parameters

entries

Get an iterator over the entries in this map.

Signature:

entries(): IterableIterator<[string, any]>;

Returns:
