-/**
- * The persisters module of the TinyBase project provides a simple framework for
- * saving and loading Store data, to and from different destinations, or
- * underlying storage types.
- *
- * Several entry points are provided (in separately installed modules), each of
- * which returns a new Persister object that can load and save a Store. Between
- * them, these allow you to store your TinyBase data locally, remotely, to
- * SQLite databases, and across synchronization boundaries with CRDT frameworks.

-/**
- * The DatabasePersisterConfig type describes the configuration of a
- * database-oriented Persister, such as those for SQLite.
- *
- * There are two modes for persisting a Store with a database:
- *
- * - A JSON serialization of the whole Store, which is stored in a single row of
- *   a table (normally called `tinybase`) within the database. This is
- *   configured by providing a DpcJson object.
- * - A tabular mapping of Table Ids to database table names (and vice-versa).
- *   Values are stored in a separate special table (normally called
- *   `tinybase_values`). This is configured by providing a DpcTabular object.
- *
- * Please see the DpcJson and DpcTabular type documentation for more detail on
- * each. If not specified otherwise, JSON serialization will be used for
- * persistence.
- *
- * Changes made to the database (outside of this Persister) are picked up
- * immediately if they are made via the same connection or library that it is
- * using. If the database is being changed by another client, the Persister
- * needs to poll for changes. Hence both configuration types also contain an
- * `autoLoadIntervalSeconds` property which indicates how often it should do
- * that. This defaults to 1 second.
- *
- * Note that all the nested types within this type have a 'Dpc' prefix, short
- * for 'DatabasePersisterConfig'.
- * @example
- * When applied to a database Persister, this DatabasePersisterConfig will load
- * and save a JSON serialization from and to a table called `my_tinybase`,
- * polling the database every 2 seconds. See DpcJson for more details on these
- * settings.
- *
- * ```js
- * const databasePersisterConfig: DatabasePersisterConfig = {
- *   mode: 'json',
- *   storeTableName: 'my_tinybase',
- *   autoLoadIntervalSeconds: 2,
- * };
- * ```
- * @example
- * When applied to a database Persister, this DatabasePersisterConfig will load
- * and save tabular data from and to tables specified in the `load` and `save`
- * mappings. See DpcTabular for more details on these settings.
- *
- * ```js
- * const databasePersisterConfig: DatabasePersisterConfig = {
- *   mode: 'tabular',
- *   tables: {
- *     load: {petsInDb: 'pets', speciesInDb: 'species'},
- *     save: {pets: 'petsInDb', species: 'speciesInDb'},
- *   },
- * };

- *
- * The only setting is the `storeTableName` property, which indicates the name
- * of a table in the database which will be used to serialize the Store content
- * into. It defaults to `tinybase`.
- *
- * That table in the database will be given two columns: a primary key column
- * called `_id`, and one called `store`. The Persister will place a single row
- * in this table with `_` in the `_id` column, and the JSON serialization in the
- * `store` column, something like:
- *
- * ```
- * > SELECT * FROM tinybase;

- * It is important to note that both the tabular mapping in ('save') and out

- * that if you pass in an existing populated database you don't run the
- * immediate risk of corrupting or losing all your data.
- *
- * This configuration therefore takes a `tables` property object (with child
- * `load` and `save` property objects) and a `values` property object. These
- * indicate how you want to load and save Tables and Values respectively. At
- * least one of these two properties are required for the Persister to do
- * anything!
- *
- * Note that if you are planning to both load from and save to a database, it is
- * important to make sure that the load and save table mappings are symmetrical.
- * For example:
- *
- * ```js
- * const databasePersisterConfig: DatabasePersisterConfig = {
- *   mode: 'tabular',
- *   tables: {
- *     load: {petsInDb: 'pets', speciesInDb: 'species'},

-/**
- * A Persister object lets you save and load Store data to and from different
- * locations, or underlying storage types.
- *
- * This is useful for preserving Store data between browser sessions or reloads,
- * saving or loading browser state to or from a server, or saving Store data to
- * disk in a environment with filesystem access.
- *
- * Creating a Persister depends on the choice of underlying storage where the
- * data is to be stored. Options include the createSessionPersister function,
- * the createLocalPersister function, the createRemotePersister function, and
- * the createFilePersister function. The createCustomPersister function can also
- * be used to easily create a fully customized way to save and load Store data.
- *
- * A Persister lets you explicit save or load data, with the save method and the
- * load method respectively. These methods are both asynchronous (since the
- * underlying data storage may also be) and return promises. As a result you
- * should use the `await` keyword to call them in a way that guarantees
- * subsequent execution order.
- *
- * When you don't want to deal with explicit persistence operations, a Persister
- * object also provides automatic saving and loading. Automatic saving listens
- * for changes to the Store and persists the data immediately. Automatic loading
- * listens (or polls) for changes to the persisted data and reflects those
- * changes in the Store.
- *
- * You can start automatic saving or loading with the startAutoSave method and
- * startAutoLoad method. Both are asynchronous since they will do an immediate
- * save and load before starting to listen for subsequent changes. You can stop
- * the behavior with the stopAutoSave method and stopAutoLoad method (which are
- * synchronous).
- *
- * You may often want to have both automatic saving and loading of a Store so
- * that changes are constantly synchronized (allowing basic state preservation
- * between browser tabs, for example). The framework has some basic provisions
- * to prevent race conditions - for example it will not attempt to save data if
- * it is currently loading it and vice-versa - and will sequentially schedule
- * methods that could cause race conditions.
- *
- * That said, be aware that you should always comprehensively test your
- * persistence strategy to understand the opportunity for data loss (in the case
- * of trying to save data to a server under poor network conditions, for
- * example).
- *
- * To help debug such issues, since v4.0.4, the create methods for all Persister
- * objects take an optional `onIgnoredError` argument. This is a handler for the
- * errors that the Persister would otherwise ignore when trying to save or load
- * data (such as when handling corrupted stored data). It's recommended you use
- * this for debugging persistence issues, but only in a development environment.
- * Database-based Persister objects also take an optional `onSqlCommand`
- * argument for logging commands and queries made to the underlying database.
- * @example
- * This example creates a Store, persists it to the browser's session storage as
- * a JSON string, changes the persisted data, updates the Store from it, and
- * finally destroys the Persister again.
- *
- * ```js
- * const store = createStore().setTables({pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}});
- * const persister = createSessionPersister(store, 'pets');
- *
- * await persister.save();
- * console.log(sessionStorage.getItem('pets'));
- * // -> '[{"pets":{"fido":{"species":"dog"}}},{}]'
- *
- * sessionStorage.setItem('pets', '[{"pets":{"toto":{"species":"dog"}}},{}]');
- * await persister.load();
- * console.log(store.getTables());
- * // -> {pets: {toto: {species: 'dog'}}}
- *
- * persister.destroy();
- * sessionStorage.clear();
- * ```
- * @example
- * This example creates a Store, and automatically saves and loads it to the

- * The createCustomPersister function creates a Persister object that you can
- * configure to persist the Store in any way you wish.
- *
- * As well as providing a reference to the Store to persist, you must provide
- * functions that handle how to fetch, write, and listen to, the persistence
- * layer.
- *
- * The other creation functions (such as the createSessionPersister function and
- * createFilePersister function, for example) all use this function under the
- * covers. See those implementations for ideas on how to implement your own
- * Persister types.
- *
- * This API changed in v4.0. Any custom persisters created on previous versions
- * should be upgraded. Most notably, the `setPersisted` function parameter is
- * provided with a `getContent` function to get the content from the Store
- * itself, rather than being passed pre-serialized JSON. It also receives
- * information about the changes made during a transaction. The `getPersisted`
- * function must return the content (or nothing) rather than JSON.
- * `startListeningToPersisted` has been renamed `addPersisterListener`, and
- * `stopListeningToPersisted` has been renamed `delPersisterListener`.
- * @param store The Store to persist.
- * @param getPersisted An asynchronous function which will fetch content from
- * the persistence layer (or `undefined` if not present).
- * @param setPersisted An asynchronous function which will send content to the
- * persistence layer. Since v4.0, it receives functions for getting the Store
- * content and information about the changes made during a transaction.
- * @param addPersisterListener A function that will register a `listener`
- * listener on underlying changes to the persistence layer. You can return a
- * listening handle that will be provided again when `delPersisterListener` is
- * called.
- * @param delPersisterListener A function that will unregister the listener from
- * the underlying changes to the persistence layer. It receives whatever was
- * returned from your `addPersisterListener` implementation.
- * @param onIgnoredError An optional handler for the errors that the Persister
- * would otherwise ignore when trying to save or load data. This is suitable for
- * debugging persistence issues in a development environment, since v4.0.4.
- * @param supportsMergeableStore An optional boolean to indicate that this
- * Persister will be able to handle MergeableStore persistence as well as
- * regular Store persistence, since v5.0.
- * @returns A reference to the new Persister object.
- * @example
- * This example creates a custom Persister object and persists the Store to a
- * local string called `storeJson` and which would automatically load by polling
- * for changes every second.
- *
- * ```js
- * const store = createStore().setTables({pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}});
- * let storeJson;
- *
- * const persister = createCustomPersister(
- *   store,
