Methods

addEventListener(eventType: string, listener: EventListener): void

Add a callback function to listen for a specific event type.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
eventType	string	The event type to listen for.
listener	EventListener	The callback function that receives the event notification.

containsKeys(parameters : FetchByKeysParameters<K>) : Promise<ContainsKeysResults<K>>

Check if there are rows containing the specified keys. The resulting key map will only contain keys which were actually found.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
parameters	FetchByKeysParameters	contains by key parameters

Since:

• 4.2.0

Returns:

Returns Promise which resolves to ContainsKeysResults.

Type

Promise.<ContainsKeysResults>

Example

Check if keys 1001 and 556 are contained

let containsKeys = [1001, 556];
let value = await dataprovider.containsKeys({keys: containsKeys});
let results = value['results'];
if (results.has(1001)) {
  console.log('Has key 1001');
} else if (results.has(556){
  console.log('Has key 556');
}

createOptimizedKeyMap(initialMap?: Map<K, D>): Map<K, D>

Return an empty Map which is optimized to store key value pairs

Optionally provided by certain DataProvider implementations for storing key/value pairs from the DataProvider in a performant fashion. Sometimes components will need to temporarily store a Map of keys provided by the DataProvider, for example, in the case of maintaining a Map of selected keys. Only the DataProvider is aware of the internal structure of keys such as whether they are primitives, Strings, or objects and how to do identity comparisons. Therefore, the DataProvider can optionally provide a Map implementation which can performantly store key/value pairs surfaced by the DataProvider.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
initialMap	Map.<any>	<optional>	Optionally specify an initial map of key/values for the Map. If not specified, then return an empty Map.

Since:

• 6.2.0

Returns:

Returns a Map optimized for handling keys from the DataProvider.

Type

Map.<any>

Example

create empty key Map

// create optional parameter
let initMap = new Map();
initMap.set('a', 'apple');
let keyMap = dataprovider.createOptimizedKeyMap(initMap);

createOptimizedKeySet(initialSet?: Set<K>): Set<K>

Return an empty Set which is optimized to store keys

Optionally provided by certain DataProvider implementations for storing keys from the DataProvider in a performant fashion. Sometimes components will need to temporarily store a Set of keys provided by the DataProvider, for example, in the case of maintaining a Set of selected keys. Only the DataProvider is aware of the internal structure of keys such as whether they are primitives, Strings, or objects and how to do identity comparisons. Therefore, the DataProvider can optionally provide a Set implementation which can performantly store keys surfaced by the DataProvider.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
initialSet	Set.<any>	<optional>	Optionally specify an initial set of keys for the Set. If not specified, then return an empty Set.

Since:

• 6.2.0

Returns:

Returns a Set optimized for handling keys from the DataProvider.

Type

Set.<any>

Example

create empty key Set

// create optional initial parameter
let initSet = new Set();
initSet.add('a');
let keySet = dataprovider.createOptimizedKeySet(initSet);

dispatchEvent(evt: Event): boolean

Dispatch an event and invoke any registered listeners.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
event	Event	The event object to dispatch.

Returns:

Return false if a registered listener has cancelled the event. Return true otherwise.

Type

boolean

fetchByKeys(parameters : FetchByKeysParameters<K>) : Promise<FetchByKeysResults<K, D>>

Fetch rows by keys. The resulting key map will only contain keys which were actually found.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
parameters	FetchByKeysParameters	fetch by key parameters

Since:

• 4.2.0

Returns:

Returns Promise which resolves to FetchByKeysResults.

Type

Promise.<FetchByKeysResults>

Example

Fetch for keys 1001 and 556

let fetchKeys = [1001, 556];
let value = await dataprovider.fetchByKeys({keys: fetchKeys});
// get the data for key 1001
console.log(value.results.get(1001).data);

fetchByOffset(parameters: FetchByOffsetParameters<D>): Promise<FetchByOffsetResults<K, D>>

Fetch rows by offset

A generic implementation of this method is available from FetchByOffsetMixin. It is for convenience and may not provide the most efficient implementation for your data provider. Classes that implement the DataProvider interface are encouraged to provide a more efficient implementation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
parameters	FetchByOffsetParameters	fetch by offset parameters

Since:

• 4.2.0

Returns:

Returns Promise which resolves to FetchByOffsetResults.

Type

Promise.<FetchByOffsetResults>

Example

Fetch by offset 5 rows starting at index 2

let result = await dataprovider.fetchByOffset({size: 5, offset: 2});
let results = result['results'];
let data = results.map(function(value) {
  return value['data'];
});
let keys = results.map(function(value) {
  return value['metadata']['key'];
});

fetchFirst(parameters?: FetchListParameters<D>): AsyncIterable<FetchListResult<K, D>>

Get an asyncIterator which can be used to fetch a block of data.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
params	FetchListParameters	<optional>	fetch parameters

Since:

• 4.2.0

See:

• https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-iteration for further information on AsyncIterable.

Returns:

AsyncIterable with FetchListResult

Type

AsyncIterable.<FetchListResult>

Example

Get an asyncIterator and then fetch first block of data by executing next() on the iterator. Subsequent blocks can be fetched by executing next() again.

let asyncIterator = dataprovider.fetchFirst(options)[Symbol.asyncIterator]();
let result = await asyncIterator.next();
let value = result.value;
let data = value.data;
let keys = value.metadata.map(function(val) {
  return val.key;
});
// true or false for done
let done = result.done;

getCapability(capabilityName: string): any

Since:

• 4.2.0

Returns:

capability information or null if undefined

• If capabilityName is "fetchByKeys", returns a FetchByKeysCapability object.
• If capabilityName is "fetchByOffset", returns a FetchByOffsetCapability object.
• If capabilityName is "sort", returns a SortCapability object.
• If capabilityName is "filter", returns a FilterCapability object.
• If capabilityName is "fetchCapability", returns a FetchCapability object.

Type

  console.log(value);

isEmpty(): 'yes' | 'no' | 'unknown'

Returns a string that indicates if this data provider is empty. Valid values are:

• "yes": this data provider is empty.
• "no": this data provider is not empty.
• "unknown": it is not known if this data provider is empty until a fetch is made.
