Registry

Type: class

The Registry class represents a collection of id and value pairs known as records. Each id is a string that identifies a value (which can be anything, including another Registry which we then call a subregistry). Each id is unique so it can only be registered once, unless it is deregistered and registered again.

info

• Registries are an integral part of the Vime plugin system.
• If a registry is created within a Plugin (aka Svelte component), it will automatically destroy itself when the component does.
• If a registered value is a Svelte component, it will automatically be deregistered when the component is destroyed. :::

Setup

Constructor: new Registry(id: string, validator: ((id: string, value: any) => boolean)?)

import { Registry } from '@vime-js/complete';

const id = 'myRegistry';

/**

* Values are not registered if they fail validation. This

* should log a message so developers are aware of why a

* particular registration failed.

**/

const optionalValidator = (id, value) => true;

const registry = new Registry(id, optionalValidator);

// ...

// No need to call this if we are inside a Plugin (aka Svelte component).

registry.destroy();

Store

A registry is powered by a store. Thus, you can subscribe to the Registry and be updated of any changes to its records.

const registry = new Registry('myRegistry');

registry.subscribe(records => {

console.log(records);

});
