createInterpreterStore

This function instantiates an interpreter store, used for for filling entities values based on a schema and builder definition.

In most cases, you won't need to use the createInterpreterStore method directly. Instead, you will mostly utilize useInterpreterStore from @coltorapps/builder-react, which essentially creates the interpreter store for you.

Reference

`createInterpreterStore(builder, schema, options?)`

Use the createInterpreterStore function to instantiate an interpreter store.

import { createInterpreterStore } from "@coltorapps/builder";

import { formBuilder } from "./form-builder";

const formSchema = {
  entities: {
    "51324b32-adc3-4d17-a90e-66b5453935bd": {
      type: "textField",
      attributes: {
        label: "First name",
      },
    },
  },
  root: ["51324b32-adc3-4d17-a90e-66b5453935bd"],
};

export const interpreterStore = createInterpreterStore(formBuilder, schema);

In the example above, we've hardcoded the schema, but typically, you would retrieve it from a database, for instance.

Parameters

createInterpreterStore accepts three parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`builder`	object	The builder definition.
`schema`	object	The schema that was built using the provided builder definition.
`options`	object optional	An optional partial object with initialization options.

The options parameter properties:

Property	Type	Description
`initialData`	object optional	The optional partial initial data.
`initialEntitiesValuesWithDefaults`	boolean optional	A flag to disable the automatic setting of default values. Defaults to `true`.

Returns

createInterpreterStore instantiates an interpreter store, providing a set of methods to operate with the store.

Method	Type	Description
`getData`	function	Retrieves the store's data.
`getEntitiesErrors`	function	Retrieves the entities' validation errors from the store's data.
`getEntitiesValues`	function	Retrieves the values of entities from the store's data.
`getUnprocessableEntitiesIds`	function	Retrieves the IDs of entities excluded from processing from the store's data.
`setData`	function	Sets the store's new data.
`subscribe`	function	Subscribes to the store's events, returning a function `() => void` for unsubscribing.
`validateEntityValue`	function	An async function that triggers the validation of a single entity.
`validateEntitiesValues`	function	An async function that triggers the validation of all entities.
`setEntityValue`	function	Sets the value of an entity.
`resetEntityValue`	function	Resets the value of an entity to its default.
`resetEntitiesValues`	function	Resets the values of all entities to their defaults.
`clearEntityValue`	function	Clears the value of an entity.
`clearEntitiesValues`	function	Clears the values of all entities.
`setEntityError`	function	Sets the validation error of an entity.
`resetEntityError`	function	Resets the validation error of an entity.
`resetEntitiesErrors`	function	Resets the validation errors of all entities.
`setEntitiesErrors`	function	Sets the validation errors of all entities.
`isEntityProcessable`	function	Returns a boolean indicating whether an entity is processable or not.
`getEntityValue`	function	Retrieves the value of a specific entity.
`getEntityError`	function	Retrieves the validation error of a specific entity.
`builder`	object	The builder definition used to instantiate the store.
`schema`	object	The schema used to instantiate the store.

Data

The data of the interpreter store is an object containing the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`entitiesValues`	object	Represents the values of entities.
`entitiesErrors`	object	Represents the validation errors of entities.
`unprocessableEntitiesIds`	array	Represents the entities IDs excluded from processing.

Events

The interpreter store emits various events after mutations to subscribed listeners, with different payloads based on the event. A mutation might cause the store to emit multiple events simultaneously. These events can be emitted by the store:

Event	Description
`EntityValueUpdated`	An entity's value was updated.
`EntityErrorUpdated`	An entity's validation error was updated.
`EntityUnprocessable`	An entity was marked as unprocessable.
`EntityProcessable`	An entity was marked as processable.
`DataSet`	The data was manually set.
