Storage Adapter Base

Important

StorageAdapter interface has been removed from the SDK version >= 1.4.1. This interface was marked for deprecation in version 1.0.10 in favor of StorageAdapterBase abstract class. Please make sure to switch your custom adapters to use the base class if this was not already done.

This is the base class for an adapter object that can read and write documents to and from a data source. It allows a user to interact with data from multiple data sources without having to manually copy data to the location where the object model is running. By deriving from this class, users can create their own adapter if needed.

public abstract class StorageAdapterBase

Properties

Name	Type	Description
LocationHint	string	The hint that's given to the reader application about the location of the implementation for the adapter (NuGet, NPM, and so on.).

Important

Storage adapter methods that take in a corpus path as a parameter (ReadAsync(...), WriteAsync(...), CreateAdapterPath(...), ComputeLastModifiedTimeAsync(...), and FetchAllFilesAsync(...)) will only accept corpus paths without a namespace. For example, use "/some/path" instead of "local:/some/path".

Methods

Name	Description	Return Type
CanRead()	Returns true if the adapter can read data, false otherwise.	bool
CanWrite()	Returns true if the adapter can write data to its source, false otherwise.	bool
ReadAsync(string) corpusPath: The corpus path.	Returns the object data that exists at the specified path as a string.	Task<string>
WriteAsync(string, string) corpusPath: The corpus path. data: The object data as a string.	Writes the object data to the specified document path.	Task
CreateAdapterPath(string) corpusPath: The corpus path.	Converts the specified corpus path into a path in the domain of this adapter. Returns the adapter path.	string
CreateCorpusPath(string) adapterPath: The adapter path.	Converts the specified path in the domain of this adapter into a corpus path. Returns the corpus path.	string
ComputeLastModifiedTimeAsync(string) corpusPath: The corpus path to a document.	Returns the last modified time of the specified document.	Task<DateTimeOffset?>
FetchAllFilesAsync(string) folderCorpusPath: The corpus path to a folder.	Returns a list of corpus paths to all files and folders at or under the specified corpus path to a folder. This has been deprecated, please use FetchAllFilesMetadataAsync instead.	Task<List<string>>
FetchAllFilesMetadataAsync(string) folderCorpusPath: The corpus path to a folder.	Returns a dictionary where the keys are the corpus paths to all files and folders at or under the specified corpus path to a folder, values contain the information about the file.	Task<IDictionary<string, CdmFileMetadata>>
FetchFileMetadataAsync(string) corpusPath: The corpus path to a file.	Returns the CdmFileMetadata for the file specified in the corpus path.	CdmFileMetadata
FetchConfig()	Constructs the adapter's configuration. Returns a JSON string representing the configuration.	string
UpdateConfig(string) string: A JSON string representing the configuration for the adapter.	Applies the specified configuration to the adapter. This method must be called after using the default constructor.	void
ClearCache()	Empties the cache of files and folders if the storage adapter uses a cache.	void
CreateFileQueryCacheContext()	Calling this function tells the adapter it can begin to cache and reuse the results of file queries. The adapter can continue to reuse cached results until the Dispose() function is called on the returned object.	IDisposable
