What It Does

fs-adapter-store is the domain layer package. It provides reactive, per-domain state management with built-in CRUD operations. Think of it as a lightweight alternative to Pinia that's designed for REST API resources — it fetches data, stores it reactively, and gives you adapted objects with update(), patch(), delete(), and create() methods.

The Big Picture

A typical application has domain resources — users, projects, invoices — that need to be:

1. Fetched from an API
2. Stored in reactive state
3. Displayed in components
4. Edited through forms
5. Saved back to the API

fs-adapter-store handles all of this with a single createAdapterStoreModule() call per resource.

Basic Usage

1. Define Your Domain Type

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: "admin" | "editor" | "viewer";
}

2. Create the Store Module

import { createAdapterStoreModule, resourceAdapter } from "@script-development/fs-adapter-store";
import { http, storage, loading } from "@/services";

const usersStore = createAdapterStoreModule<User>({
  domainName: "users", // API endpoint: /users
  adapter: resourceAdapter, // CRUD adapter factory
  httpService: http, // for API calls
  storageService: storage, // for offline persistence
  loadingService: loading, // for waiting on data
});

3. Fetch and Display

// Fetch all users from the API
await usersStore.retrieveAll();

// Reactive list of all users
const allUsers = usersStore.getAll; // ComputedRef<Adapted<User>[]>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { usersStore } from "@/stores";
</script>

<template>
  <ul>
    <li v-for="user in usersStore.getAll.value" :key="user.id">
      {{ user.name }} — {{ user.email }}
    </li>
  </ul>
</template>

4. Edit and Save

Each adapted resource has a mutable ref for editing and methods for saving:

<script setup lang="ts">
const user = usersStore.getById(42); // ComputedRef<Adapted<User> | undefined>
</script>

<template>
  <form v-if="user.value" @submit.prevent="user.value.update()">
    <input v-model="user.value.mutable.value.name" />
    <input v-model="user.value.mutable.value.email" />
    <button type="submit">Save</button>
    <button type="button" @click="user.value.reset()">Reset</button>
  </form>
</template>

5. Create New Resources

const newUser = usersStore.generateNew();

newUser.mutable.value.name = "Alice";
newUser.mutable.value.email = "[email protected]";

await newUser.create(); // POST /users → adds to store

Adapted vs NewAdapted

The adapter pattern creates two distinct object types:

Adapted (Existing Resources)

When a resource comes from the API (has an id), it's wrapped in an Adapted object:

const user = usersStore.getById(1).value;

// Read original values (readonly, frozen)
user.id; // 1
user.name; // "Alice"
user.email; // "[email protected]"

// Edit via mutable ref
user.mutable.value.name = "Bob";

// Save changes
await user.update(); // PUT /users/1 — sends full object
await user.patch({ name: "Bob" }); // PATCH /users/1 — sends partial update

// Discard edits
user.reset(); // mutable reverts to original values

// Delete
await user.delete(); // DELETE /users/1 — removes from store

NewAdapted (Unsaved Resources)

When you create a new resource via generateNew(), it's wrapped in a NewAdapted object:

const newUser = usersStore.generateNew();

// Default values (readonly, frozen)
newUser.name; // "" (empty defaults)
newUser.email; // ""

// Edit via mutable ref
newUser.mutable.value.name = "Alice";

// Save to API
await newUser.create(); // POST /users → returns full User with id

// Reset to defaults
newUser.reset();

Why two types?

An existing resource has update(), patch(), and delete(). A new resource has only create(). TypeScript enforces this — you can't accidentally call delete() on something that hasn't been saved yet.

Waiting for Data

getOrFailById waits for loading to complete before looking up the resource. This is useful when navigating to a detail page where data might still be loading:

try {
  const user = await usersStore.getOrFailById(42);
  // user is guaranteed to exist
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof EntryNotFoundError) {
    // user 42 doesn't exist in the store
    redirectTo404();
  }
}

Offline Persistence

The store automatically persists state to the provided storage service. When the page reloads, stored data is available immediately while retrieveAll() fetches fresh data from the API. This provides a fast initial render without loading spinners.

Custom New Types

By default, generateNew() creates an object with all fields except id. You can customize this with a third type parameter:

interface CreateUserData {
  name: string;
  email: string;
  // no role — assigned server-side
}

const usersStore = createAdapterStoreModule<User, Adapted<User, CreateUserData>, CreateUserData>({
  domainName: "users",
  adapter: resourceAdapter,
  httpService: http,
  storageService: storage,
  loadingService: loading,
});

const newUser = usersStore.generateNew();
// newUser.mutable has only name and email — no role field

Error Handling

The package exports two error classes:

import { EntryNotFoundError, MissingResponseDataError } from "@script-development/fs-adapter-store";

• EntryNotFoundError — thrown by getOrFailById when the resource doesn't exist in the store
• MissingResponseDataError — thrown when a CRUD response doesn't contain a data field
