Our documentId in Automerge URL form.
Optional
context: anySends an arbitrary ephemeral message out to all reachable peers who would receive sync messages from you. It has no guarantee of delivery, and is not persisted to the underlying automerge doc in any way. Messages will have a sending PeerId but this is not a useful user identifier (a user could have multiple tabs open and would appear as multiple PeerIds). Every message source must have a unique PeerId.
All changes to an Automerge document should be made through this method. Inside the callback, the document should be treated as mutable: all edits will be recorded using a Proxy and translated into operations as part of a single recorded "change".
Note that assignment via ES6 spread operators will result in replacing the object
instead of mutating it which will prevent clean merges. This may be what you want, but
doc.foo = { ...doc.foo, bar: "baz" }
is not equivalent to doc.foo.bar = "baz"
.
Local changes will be stored (by the StorageSubsystem) and synchronized (by the DocSynchronizer) to any peers you are sharing it with.
Called by the repo when the document is deleted.
doneLoading
is called by the repo after it decides it has all the changes
it's going to get during setup. This might mean it was created locally,
or that it was loaded from storage, or that it was received from a peer.
Calls each of the listeners registered for a given event.
Return an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners.
Returns the current "heads" of the document, akin to a git commit. This precisely defines the state of a document.
the current document's heads, or undefined if the document is not ready
Returns an array of all past "heads" for the document in topological order.
UrlHeads[] - The individual heads for every change in the document. Each item is a tagged string[1].
A point-in-time in an automerge document is an array of heads since there may be concurrent edits. This API just returns a topologically sorted history of all edits so every previous entry will be (in some sense) before later ones, but the set of all possible history views would be quite large under concurrency (every thing in each branch against each other). There might be a clever way to think about this, but we haven't found it yet, so for now at least we present a single traversable view which excludes concurrency.
true if the document has been marked as deleted.
Deleted documents are removed from local storage and the sync process. It's not currently possible at runtime to undelete a document.
Check if the document can be change()ed. Currently, documents can be edited unless we are viewing a particular point in time.
boolean indicating whether changes are possible
true if the document is ready for accessing or changes.
Note that for documents already stored locally this occurs before synchronization with any
peers. We do not currently have an equivalent whenSynced()
.
true if the document is currently unavailable.
This will be the case if the document is not found in storage and no peers have shared it with us.
true if the document has been unloaded.
Unloaded documents are freed from memory but not removed from local storage. It's not currently possible at runtime to reload an unloaded document.
Return the number of listeners listening to a given event.
Return the listeners registered for a given event.
Merges another document into this document. Any peers we are sharing changes with will be notified of the changes resulting from the merge.

A DocHandle is a wrapper around a single Automerge document that lets us listen for changes and notify the network and storage of new changes.
Remarks
A
DocHandle
represents a document which is being managed by a Repo. You shouldn't ever instantiate this yourself. To obtainDocHandle
use Repo.find or Repo.create.To modify the underlying document use either DocHandle.change or DocHandle.changeAt. These methods will notify the
Repo
that some change has occured and theRepo
will save any new changes to the attached StorageAdapter and send sync messages to connected peers.
