`setContent`

The setContent method takes an array of two objects and sets the entire data of the Store.

setContent(content: Content): this

Type Description

	Type	Description
`content`	`Content`	An array containing the tabular and keyed-value data of the `Store` to be set.
returns	`this`	A reference to the `Store`.

content

Content

An array containing the tabular and keyed-value data of the Store to be set.

returns

this

A reference to the Store.

This method will cause listeners to be called for any Table, Row, Cell, Value, or Id changes resulting from it.

Any part of the provided objects that are invalid (either according to the Tables or Values type, or because it does not match a TablesSchema or ValuesSchema associated with the Store), will be ignored silently.

Assuming that at least some of the provided Tables object or Values object is valid, any data that was already present in that part of the Store will be completely overwritten. If either object is completely invalid, no change will be made to the corresponding part of the Store.

The method returns a reference to the Store so that subsequent operations can be chained in a fluent style.

Examples

This example sets the data of a Store.

import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const store = createStore().setContent([
  {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}},
  {open: true, employees: 3},
]);
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}}
console.log(store.getValues());
// -> {open: true, employees: 3}

This example attempts to set the data of an existing Store with partly invalid, and then completely invalid objects.

import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const store = createStore().setContent([
  {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}},
  {open: true, employees: 3},
]);

store.setContent([{pets: {felix: {species: 'cat', bug: []}}}, '']);
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {felix: {species: 'cat'}}}
console.log(store.getValues());
// -> {open: true, employees: 3}

store.setContent([{meaning: 42}]);
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {felix: {species: 'cat'}}}
