Abstract persistence component that stores data in flat files and implements a number of CRUD operations over data items with unique ids.
Extends: IdentifiableMemoryPersistence<T, K>
Description
The IdentifiableFilePersistence class allows you to create persistence components that store data in flat files and implement a number of CRUD operations over data items with unique ids.
Important points
- The data items must implement the IIdentifiable interface.
 - In basic scenarios, child classes shall only override getPageByFilter, getListByFilter or deleteByFilter operations with a specific filter function. All other operations can be used out of the box.
 - In complex scenarios, child classes can implement additional operations by accessing cached items via the self._items property and calling the save method on updates.
 
Configuration parameters
- 
path: path to the file where data is stored
 - 
options:
- max_page_size: maximum number of items returned in a single page (default: 100)
 
 
References
- *:logger:*:*:1.0 - (optional) (../../../components/log/ilogger) components to pass log messages
 
Constructors
Creates a new instance of the persistence.
IdentifiableFilePersistence([JsonFilePersister
persister]) 
- persister: JsonFilePersister
- (optional) persister component that loads and saves data from/to flat file.  
Fields
Instance methods
configure
Configures a component by passing its configuration parameters.
@override
void configure(ConfigParams config)
- config: ConfigParams - configuration parameters to be set.
 
Examples
class MyFilePersistence extends IdentifiableFilePersistence<MyData, String> {
    MyFilePersistence([String path]):super(JsonPersister(path)) {
    }
    dynamic _composeFilter(FilterParams filter) {
        filter = filter ?? FilterParams();
        var name = filter.getAsNullableString("name");
        return (item) {
            if (name != null && item.name != name)
                return false;
            return true;
        };
    }
    Future<DataPage<MyData>> getPageByFilter(string correlationId, FilterParams filter, PagingParams paging){
       return super.getPageByFilter(correlationId, _composeFilter(filter), paging, null, null);
    }
}
var persistence = MyFilePersistence("./data/data.json");
await persistence.create("123", { id: "1", name: "ABC" });
var page = await persistence.getPageByFilter(
        "123",
        FilterParams.fromTuples([
            "name", "ABC"
        ]),
        null);
print(page.data);          // Result: { id: "1", name: "ABC" }
var item = await persistence.deleteById("123", "1");
