Signature

setSharedPluginData(namespace: string, key: string, value: string): void

Parameters

namespace

A unique string to identify your plugin and avoid key collisions with other plugins. The namespace must be at least 3 alphanumeric characters.

key

The key under which to store the data. This is similar to writing to a plain object via obj[key] = value.

value

The data you want to store. If you want to store a value type other than a string, encode it as a JSON string first via JSON.stringify and JSON.parse. If you set the value to the empty string (""), the key/value pair is removed.

Remarks

This lets you store custom information on any node or style. You can retrieve it later by calling getSharedPluginData with the same namespace and key. To find all data stored on a node or style in a particular namespace, use getSharedPluginDataKeys.

Any data you write using this API will be readable by any plugin. The intent is to allow plugins to interoperate with each other. Use setPluginData instead if you don't want other plugins to be able to read your data.

You must also provide a namespace argument to avoid key collisions with other plugins. This argument is mandatory to prevent multiple plugins from using generic key names like data and overwriting one another. We recommend passing a value that identifies your plugin. This namespace can be given to authors of other plugins so that they can read data from your plugin.
