Simple Values

All JSON primitive datatypes are supported in an Automerge document. In addition, JavaScript Date objects are supported.

Remember, never modify currentDoc directly, only ever change doc inside the callback to Automerge.change!

newDoc = Automerge.change(currentDoc, (doc) => {
  doc.property = "value"; // assigns a string value to a property
  doc["property"] = "value"; // equivalent to the previous line
  delete doc["property"]; // removes a property

  doc.stringValue = "value";
  doc.numberValue = 1;
  doc.boolValue = true;
  doc.nullValue = null;
  doc.nestedObject = {}; // creates a nested object
  doc.nestedObject.property = "value";
  // you can also assign an object that already has some properties
  doc.otherObject = { key: "value", number: 42 };
});
