breeze-client / breeze

Variable: breeze ​

const breeze: object

Defined in: src/breeze.ts:161

Every class, enum and helper of the Breeze 2.x API in one object - the breeze that 2.x code imports or finds as a global. Kept so that code written against 2.x runs unchanged. New code imports what it uses by name, which lets a bundler leave out the rest.

Type Declaration ​

AbstractDataServiceAdapter ​

AbstractDataServiceAdapter: typeof AbstractDataServiceAdapter

The base class of Breeze's data service adapters, for anyone writing one. The same as the AbstractDataServiceAdapter export.

assertConfig ​

assertConfig: any

Always null. Breeze 2.x exposed its argument-checking helpers here; Breeze 3 does not.

assertParam ​

assertParam: any

Always null. Breeze 2.x exposed its argument-checking helpers here; Breeze 3 does not.

AutoGeneratedKeyType ​

AutoGeneratedKeyType: typeof AutoGeneratedKeyType

The same as the AutoGeneratedKeyType export.

BooleanQueryOp ​

BooleanQueryOp: typeof BooleanQueryOp

The operators that combine predicates in a query - and, or and not - as an enum. The same as the BooleanQueryOp export.

ComplexAspect ​

ComplexAspect: typeof ComplexAspect

The same as the ComplexAspect export.

ComplexType ​

ComplexType: typeof ComplexType

The same as the ComplexType export.

config ​

config: BreezeConfig

The same as the config export: the older adapter-registration API. New code calls configureBreeze instead.

core ​

core: object

The same as the core export.

(v, ix?) => any

includeNull? ​

boolean

Returns ​

Remember & return the value of fn() when it was called with its current args

Parameters ​

any

Returns ​

any

core.noop ​

noop: () => void = noop

Does nothing.

core.objectMap ​

objectMap: (obj, kvFn?) => any[] = objectMap

Calls kvFn(key, value) for each of an object's own enumerable properties and returns the results, leaving out any that are undefined. Without kvFn, returns the values.

core.propEq ​

propEq: (propertyName, value) => (obj) => boolean = propEq

A predicate that is true for an object whose propertyName is === value: people.filter(core.propEq('firstName', 'John')).

can be used like: persons.filter(propEq("firstName", "John"))

Parameters ​

string

value ​

any

Returns ​

(obj) => boolean

core.propsEq ​

propsEq: (property1Name, property2Name, value) => (obj) => boolean = propsEq

Parameters ​
property1Name ​

string

property2Name ​

string

value ​

any

Returns ​

(obj) => boolean

core.resolveProperties ​

resolveProperties: (sources, propertyNames) => any = resolveProperties

An object with each of propertyNames taken from the first of sources in which it is not undefined. Breeze uses it to combine a query's settings with its manager's and the defaults, in QueryOptions.resolve and DataService.resolve.

Resolves the values of a list of properties by checking each property in multiple sources until a value is found.

Parameters ​
sources ​

Object[]

propertyNames ​

string[]

Returns ​

any

core.setAsDefault ​

setAsDefault: (target, ctor) => any = setAsDefault

Creates an instance of ctor from target, fills in whatever it leaves unset from the current ctor.defaultInstance, and makes that the new ctor.defaultInstance. Returns target. The setAsDefault() methods of QueryOptions, SaveOptions, NamingConvention and LocalQueryComparisonOptions are built on it.

Set ctor.defaultInstance to an instance of ctor with properties from target. We want to insure that the object returned by ctor.defaultInstance is always immutable Use 'target' as the primary template for the ctor.defaultInstance; Use current 'ctor.defaultInstance' as the template for any missing properties creates a new instance for ctor.defaultInstance returns target unchanged

Parameters ​
target ​

Object

ctor ​

{(...args): any; defaultInstance?: any; }

defaultInstance? ​

any

Returns ​

any

core.stringEndsWith ​

stringEndsWith: object = stringEndsWith

Deprecated ​

Use str.endsWith(suffix), with the same caveat about nulls as core.stringStartsWith.

core.strings ​

strings: object = strings

Text that Breeze uses in its error messages.

core.strings.TO_TYPE ​

TO_TYPE: string = "Add 'EntityQuery.toType()' to your query, or call 'MetadataStore.setEntityTypeForResourceName()' to register an EntityType for this resourceName."

Advice appended to errors about a query whose entity type Breeze cannot determine.

core.stringStartsWith ​

stringStartsWith: object = stringStartsWith

Deprecated ​

Use str.startsWith(prefix). Not quite the same: this answers false for a null string and true for a null prefix, where the built-in throws and compares against the text "null" respectively. Guard the null yourself.

core.toArray ​

toArray: (item) => any[] = toArray

[] for null or undefined, the array itself for an array, and [item] for anything else.

Parameters ​
item ​

any

Returns ​

any[]

core.toJson ​

toJson: (source, template, target) => Object = toJson

Copies properties of source to target, a new object by default, as template directs, and returns target. Each key of template names a property to copy; a key such as 'a,b' also accepts b as another name for a. The template's value is the property's default: a property equal to it (by ==), undefined, or an empty array is left out. If the template's value is a function, it converts the property's value instead, and a BreezeEnum is written as its name. Breeze's metadata classes build their toJSON output with it.

'source' is an object that will be transformed into another 'template' is a map where the keys: are the keys to return if a key contains ','s then the key is treated as a delimited string with first of the keys being the key to return and the others all valid aliases for this key 'values' are either 1) the 'default' value of the key 2) a function that takes in the source value and should return the value to set The value from the source is then set on the target, after first passing thru the fn, if provided, UNLESS: 1) it is the default value 2) it is undefined ( nulls WILL be set) 'target' is optional

  • if it exists then properties of the target will be set ( overwritten if the exist)
  • if it does not exist then a new object will be created as filled. 'target is returned.
Parameters ​
source ​

Object

template ​

Object

target? ​

Object = {}

Returns ​

Object

core.toJSONSafe ​

toJSONSafe: (obj, replacer?) => any = toJSONSafe

A copy of obj that JSON.stringify can serialize even when the object graph has cycles: a reference back to an object already being copied is left out. Uses an object's own toJSON when it has one, leaves out functions, and passes each property through replacer when given, leaving out any it returns undefined for.

Safely perform toJSON logic on objects with cycles.

Parameters ​
obj ​

any

replacer? ​

(prop, value) => any

Returns ​

any

core.toJSONSafeReplacer ​

toJSONSafeReplacer: (prop, val) => any = toJSONSafeReplacer

A replacer for core.toJSONSafe that leaves out an entity's Breeze members - entityAspect, complexAspect, entityType, complexType, getProperty, setProperty and constructor - and any property whose name starts with _ or $. Breeze serializes unmapped property values with it.

Replacer function for toJSONSafe, when serializing entities. Excludes entityAspect and other internal properties.

Parameters ​
prop ​

string

val ​

any

Returns ​

any

core.updateWithDefaults ​

updateWithDefaults: (target, defaults) => any = updateWithDefaults

core.using ​
