Constructs a CCounter.
The initial value. Defaults to 0.
Internal (this/parent) use only.
This Collab's name, which distinguishes it among its siblings in the tree of Collabs.
Internal (this/parent) use only.
This Collab's parent in the tree of Collabs.
The ambient [[IRuntime]].
Use this to access utilities like [[IRuntime.replicaID]].
The current value.
Internal (parent) use only.
If this Collab is in its initial, post-constructor state, then this method may (but is not required to) return true; otherwise, it returns false.
By default, this method always returns false; override to change.
If this method returns true:
load(null, meta).
load should process this as if called with the output of save
from a garbage-collectable state. For a nontrivial example,
see CMultiValueMap.load's implementation.Emits an event, which triggers all the registered event handlers.
See [[CollabEventsRecord]] for advice on what events to emit.
This is a wrapper around [[EventEmitter.emit]] that forces events to extend [[CollabEvent]] and also emits an "Any" event.
Set to true to skip emitting an "Any" event.
Internal (parent) use only.
Called by this Collab's parent when it has been deleted from a collection on the local replica and can no longer be used (e.g., due to CSet.delete on this or an ancestor). A Collab implementation can implement this method to clean up external resources, e.g., associated DOM elements.
finalize has no relation to the JavaScript garbage collector or
canGC.
By default, this method does nothing.
Registers an event handler that is triggered when the event happens.
Name of the event to listen on.
Callback that handles the event.
If true, the event handler is triggered at most once (the next time the event happens), then unsubscribed.
An "off" function that removes the event handler when called.
Registers an event handler that is triggered when the event happens.
An "off" function that removes the event handler when called.
Broadcasts a message to other replicas of this Collab. The message will be delivered to all replicas' receive, including locally.
For convenience, the message may be expressed as a stack of
(Uint8Array | string),
instead of just a single Uint8Array. This is
useful for parents sending messages on behalf of their children;
see the implementation of [[CObject]] for an example.
The message to send, in the form of a stack of Uint8Arrays. Note that this method may mutate it in-place.
Broadcasts a message to other replicas of this Collab. The message will be delivered to all replicas' receivePrimitive, including locally.
Call this method instead of [[Collab.send]].
The message to send.
A metadata request. The runtime will use this when creating the [[MessageMeta]] for receivePrimitive.
Generated using TypeDoc
A collaborative counter with an add operation.
If multiple users call add concurrently, all of their additions take effect.
Values and add args are required to be safe integers, since floating-point addition is not commutative. If you need non-integer values, you should use e.g.
counter.value / 100.See also: CVar
<number>: for a number that can be set and get atomically instead of counting.
