Description

Javascript interface of a database change. The property 'type' tells whether the change is a creation (1), update (2) or deletion (3) of the given key in the given table.

If change is a creation, 'obj' will contain the created object.

If change is an update, 'mods' will contain a set of property paths and their altered values. A property path is the name of the property for root-properties. For nestled properties, the property path will be a dot-based path to the changed property.

Sample

Given the following object:

{
    id: "faec7477-aaff-4525-a2d8-b817f8197bf7",
    address: {
        street: "Elm Street",
        city: "New York"
    }
}

Assuming that 'id' is the primary key and the name of the table is "table"

If street has been changed to "East 13:th Street", the IUpdateChange would look like this:

{
    type: 2, // UPDATE
    table: "table",
    key: "faec7477-aaff-4525-a2d8-b817f8197bf7",
    mods: {
        "address.street": "East 13:th Street"
    }
}
