📜 Naming

Common

The common naming conventions in the Traced Fabric (TF) package reflect its fundamental purpose. For those interested in a deeper understanding of the project’s internals, exploring the core functionality and key naming conventions will provide valuable insights into how the system operates.

• traceFabric - function that will process data and make it traceable

• traced - data whose changes are recorded

• tracedFabric - data that is traced by traceFabric

• tracedValue - array or object inside of tracedFabric. Can be inside of other tracedValues

• mutation - single change inside of tracedFabric of tracedValue

• trace - array of mutations

• mutationCallback - function that will be triggered when mutation happens

Core functionality

This section is intended for those who wish to understand how TF operates and explore its key concepts.

• sender - tracedFabric that contains inside of another tracedFabric (receiver)

• receiver / subscriber - tracedFabric that will receive mutations from nested senders

• metadata - data that is used for indexing tracedValues. Contains:

  • tracedFabric reference - reference to the tracedFabric that contains value with current metadata, no mater how deep it is nested
  • parent reference - reference to tracedValue that contains value with current metadata. It can be empty if the value is contained inside tracedFabric
  • key - indicates the key to access value with current metadata in parent reference or tracedFabric reference if previous does not exists
