Methods

_applyRemoteMetadata()

_applyRemoteMetadata(url, updateTarget): void;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/RemoteDocument.ts:33

Internal

Apply address/update metadata from an authoritative REST response.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
url	string
updateTarget	APIUpdateTarget | null

Returns

void

Inherited from

Resource._applyRemoteMetadata

---

_hydrate()

_hydrate(node): void;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:69

Internal

Refresh this canonical instance from an authoritative REST document.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
node	APIResource

Returns

void

Inherited from

Resource._hydrate

---

_invalidate()

_invalidate(): void;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/RemoteDocument.ts:40

Internal

Mark this document stale after an IMQ invalidation.

Returns

void

Inherited from

Resource._invalidate

---

_patch()

_patch(data): void;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/ConversationMessage.ts:20

Internal

Assign fields from a raw (possibly partial) API payload. Used by build for the initial data and, later, by IMQ for in-place live updates — hence the in guards, so a partial payload only touches the fields it carries. Subclasses override this and call super._patch(data).

Parameters

Parameter	Type
data	Record<string, any>

Returns

void

Overrides

Resource._patch

---

authenticated()

protected authenticated(): void;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:104

Returns

void

Inherited from

Resource.authenticated

---

collectionRelationship()

protected collectionRelationship<T, K>(
   relation, 
   cls, 
   options?
): Collection<T>;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:122

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends Resource<APIRelations, APIUpdateTarget>
K extends string | number

Parameters

Parameter	Type
relation	K
cls	Constructor<T>
options?	CollectionOptions

Returns

Collection<T>

Inherited from

Resource.collectionRelationship

---

fetchSender()

fetchSender(options?): Promise<User<UserRelations>>;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/ConversationMessage.ts:56

The sender, read from the API only if not cached.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
options?	FetchOptions

Returns

Promise<User<UserRelations>>

---

refresh()

refresh(): Promise<ConversationMessage>;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:95

Re-read this resource from REST and update it in place. Resolves to the same instance, so references held elsewhere see the fresh data and stale clears.

Returns

Promise<ConversationMessage>

Inherited from

Resource.refresh

---

relationship()

protected relationship<T, K>(
   relation, 
   cls, 
   options?
): Promise<T | null>;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:110

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends Resource<APIRelations, APIUpdateTarget>
K extends string | number

Parameters

Parameter	Type
relation	K
cls	Constructor<T>
options?	FetchOptions

Returns

Promise<T | null>

Inherited from

Resource.relationship

---

watch()

watch(): Promise<DocumentWatch<ConversationMessage>>;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/RemoteDocument.ts:46

Observe explicit IMQ invalidations for this document.

Returns

Promise<DocumentWatch<ConversationMessage>>

Inherited from

Resource.watch

---

build()

static build<T>(
   this, 
   client, 
   node
): T;

Defined in: packages/client/src/resources/Resource.ts:57

Construct a resource from a raw API node, then populate it via _patch. No validation — we trust the wire types and rely on tests for API drift (see MODERNIZATION.md). Fields keep their defaults until _patch overwrites them, so an instance is never in an unset state.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends Resource<any, APIUpdateTarget>

Parameters

Parameter	Type
this	new (client, options?) => T
client	Client
node	APIResource

Returns

T

Inherited from

Resource.build
