Class: Connection

LiveView. Connection

new LiveView.Connection()

LiveView Connection constructor. This constructor is internal to LiveView and cannot/should not be instantiated directly. Calls to LiveView.connect() will create an appropriate Connection and return a Connection object as a reference to the connection.

Members

static,readonlyLiveView.Connection.CONNECTION_STATUSString

Properties:
Name Type Default Description
CLOSED String closed The connection is closed.
CLOSING String closing The connection is in the process of closing. Most likely, it is waiting on resource clean-up and/or server confirmation of closure.
OPEN String open The connection is open.
OPENING String opening The connection is in the process of opening. Most likely, it is waiting for the server to acknowledge connection.
ERROR String error Something went wrong with the connection. A description of the cause should be available via the promise rejection handler or onError callback function of the error-causing function call.

idString

The unique identifier for this connection. Its value is automatically set upon successful connection.

usernameString

The username used for authenticating with the LiveView server. Its value is automatically set upon successful connection.

urlString

The URL to which this connection is made.

statusLiveView.Connection.CONNECTION_STATUS

The connection status for this connection.

onClosefunction

Callback function to invoke upon closure of the connection (whether in error or as expected). The callback will be passed an object containing two or three fields: connection, actor, and (optionally) error. The connection field will be the Connection that was closed. The actor field will either be "client" or "server" depending on whether the client or server initiated the closing of the connection. The error field (if set) is an Error. The presence of the error field indicates an error took place and the connection was closed as a result.

Methods

close(settings){Promise.<void>}

Closes this connection cleanly, canceling all active queries running via this connection.
Name Type Description
settings Object optional Object that defines callbacks and callback context for handling connection closure.
Name Type Description
context Object optional Object to use as the context for all callback functions. Use this if you need the callbacks to execute within a specific context or scope other than the global window.
onSuccess function optional Callback function to invoke upon successfully closing the connection. This function will be invoked after this connection's onClose handler has been invoked. It will not be passed any parameters.
onError function optional Callback function to invoke upon failure to close the connection. This function will be invoked after any this connection's onClose handler has been invoked. The callback function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.
Type Description
Promise.<void> -- Promise representing the result of the close function. Once resources have been cleaned and the server has acknowledged closure, the promise will resolve with no arguments. If there is an error, the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.

getTables(settings){Promise.<Object>}

Performs a one-time get of table metadata for the (optionally) specified tables.
Name Type Description
settings Object optional Object containing the settings for getting table metadata
Name Type Description
tableNames Array optional The names of the tables to get meta data for. If null or undefined, metadata for all tables will be returned. The default value is null.
includeSystemTables boolean optional Flag indicating whether or not to include LiveView system tables in the results. Default is false.
context Object optional Object to use as the context for all callback functions. Use this if you need the callbacks to execute within a specific context or scope other than the global window.
onSuccess function optional Callback function to invoke upon successful receipt of table metadata. The callback function will be passed an object with field: tables. The tables field is an array of Table objects.
onError function optional Callback function to invoke upon failure to retrieve table metadata. The callback function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.
Type Description
Promise.<Object> -- Promise representing the result of the getTables function. On success, the promise resolution handler function will be passed an object with field: tables. The tables field is an array of Table objects. If there is an error, the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.

parseQuery(query, settings){Promise.<LiveView.QueryProperties>}

Validates a query and (if valid) returns various information describing the characteristics of the query.
Name Type Description
query LiveView.Query | String A Query object or query String to be parsed.
settings Object optional Object containing the settings for parsing the query
Name Type Description
tableName Object optional Explicitly providing the table name can help LDM properly parse the query. If querying a table that is not LiveQL compatible, specifying the table name is highly recommended.
context Object optional Object to use as the context for all callback functions. Use this if you need the callbacks to execute within a specific context or scope other than the global window.
onSuccess function optional Callback function to invoke upon validation of the query. The callback function will be passed an object with field: queryProperties. The queryProperties field is a QueryProperties object that contains information about the parsed query.
onError function optional Callback function to invoke upon failure to validate the query. This can occur due to an invalid query or due to an internal error. Either way, the callback function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.
Type Description
Promise.<LiveView.QueryProperties> -- Promise representing the result of the parseQuery function. On success, the promise resolution handler function will be passed an object with field: queryProperties. The queryProperties field is a QueryProperties object that contains information about the parsed query. If there is an error (perhaps because the query failed to validate), the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.

execute(query, settings){Promise.<Object>}

Performs a one-time execution of a query. This is an easy way to quickly get table data without having to set up a query subscription. Technically, this call subscribes to a snapshot-only query and buffers results until the end-snapshot event is received. Once the end-snapshot event is received, query resources are cleaned and the query schema and buffered result data are returned via promise resolution and/or the onSuccess callback function.
Name Type Description
query LiveView.Query Defines the query to perform.
settings Object optional Object containing the optional settings for query execution.
Name Type Description
tableName Object optional Explicitly providing the table name can help LDM properly parse and execute the query. If querying a table that is not LiveQL compatible, specifying the table name is highly recommended.
context Object optional Object to use as the context for all callback functions. Use this if you need the callbacks to execute within a specific context or scope other than the global window.
onSuccess function optional Callback function to invoke upon successful receipt of query results. The callback function will be passed an object with fields: schema and data. The schema field defines the executed query's schema. The data field contains the query results as an array of tuples in the order they were returned by the query
onProgress function optional Callback function to invoke upon query progress events. The callback function will be passed an object with field: tuple. The tuple field is the Tuple that was added to the query result set.
onError function optional Callback function to invoke upon failure to perform query. The callback function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.
Type Description
Promise.<Object> -- Promise representing the result of the execute function. On success, the promise resolution handler function will be passed an object with two fields: schema and data. The schema field is a Schema that defines the query's schema. The data field contains the query results as an array of tuples in the order they were returned by the query. If there is an error, the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong. When a new row is added to the query execution's result set, the promise's progress handler will be passed an object with field: tuple. The tuple field is the Tuple that was added to the query result set. If there is an error, the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler function will be passed an Error object containing details about what went wrong.

Name Type Default Description
sbUri String 'sb://localhost:10000' optional The URI for the StreamBase host where the streams are located.
inputStreamFilter RegExp | Array.<String> optional A filter to apply to the set of input stream names. Meta-data for an input stream will only be returned if the corresponding input stream name passes the filter. If a RegExp is provided, the input stream names must match the RegExp. If an array of Strings is provided, meta-data will only be returned for the input names that are contained in the array. If left blank, all input stream meta-data will be returned.

includeSchemas Boolean false optional A flag indicating whether or not to fetch stream schemas as a part of the returned stream meta-data. A true value will result in schema information being included in the returned meta-data for each stream. Note that if enabled, this will potentially make many additional calls to the server as one call is made for each stream. To avoid wasteful processing and network traffic overhead, it is strongly advised that inputStreamFilter and/or outputStreamFilter be used when fetching stream schemas.
context Object optional Object to use as the context for all callback functions. Use this if you need the callbacks to execute within a specific context or scope other than document.window.
onSuccess function optional Callback function to call after successfully getting stream information. The callback function will be passed an object with two fields: inputStreams and outputStreams.

Meta-data for both input and output streams will contain a "schema" field of type Schema, if the includeSchemas flag was set to true.
onError function optional Callback function to call if there was an error while getting the streams. The callback function will be passed an object containing field: error. The error field is an Error object containing details about what went wrong.
Type Description
Promise.<Object> -- Promise representing the result of the getStreams function. Upon success, the promise resolution handler is passed an object with with two fields: inputStreams and outputStreams. The inputStreams and outputStreams fields will be a key-value object map where the key is the stream name and the value is an object containing meta-data about the stream. Meta-data for both input and output streams will contain a "schema" field of type Schema, if the includeSchemas flag was set to true. If getting the streams fails, the promise will be rejected and the rejection handler will be passed an Error object with details about what went wrong.
