STORE specifies the signature of reference stores.

A reference store is a mutable and reactive key / value store, where keys are names created by users (and/or global names created by convention) and values are keys from the block store.

A typical Irmin application should have a very low number of keys in the reference store.

Ref Store

include RRW

Reactive read-write stores

Reactive read-write stores are read-write stores with reactive capabilities.

include RW

Read-write stores

include RO

Read-only stores

type t

Type for stores.

type key

Type for keys.

type value

Type for values.

val read : t -> key -> value option Lwt.t

Read a value from the store.

val read_exn : t -> key -> value Lwt.t

Same as read but raise Invalid_argument if the key does not exist.

val mem : t -> key -> bool Lwt.t

Check if a key exists.

val iter : t -> (key -> value Lwt.t -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t

iter t fn call the function fn on all t's keys and values.

val update : t -> key -> value -> unit Lwt.t

update t k v replaces the contents of k by v in t. If k is not already defined in t, create a fresh binding. Raise Invalid_argument if k is the empty path.

val compare_and_set : t -> key -> test:value option -> set:value option -> bool Lwt.t

compare_and_set t key ~test ~set sets key to set only if the current value of key is test and in that case returns true. If the current value of key is different, it returns false. None means that the value does not have to exist or is removed.

Note: The operation is guaranteed to be atomic.

val remove : t -> key -> unit Lwt.t

remove t k remove the key k in t.

type watch

The type of watch handlers.

val watch_key : t -> key -> ?init:value -> (value diff -> unit Lwt.t) -> watch Lwt.t

watch_key t k ?init f adds f to the list of t's watch handlers for the key k and returns the watch handler to be used with unwatch. init is the optional initial value of the key.

val watch : t -> ?init:(key * value) list -> (key -> value diff -> unit Lwt.t) -> watch Lwt.t

watch t ?init f adds f to the list of t's watch handlers and returns the watch handler to be used with unwatch. init is the optional initial values. It is more efficient to use watch_key to watch only a single given key.

val unwatch : t -> watch -> unit Lwt.t

unwatch t w removes w from t's watch handlers.

module Key : S with type t = key

Base functions on keys.

module Val : Hash.S with type t = value

Base functions on values.
