Omni.Session.Store behaviour (Omni Agent v0.3.1)

Copy Markdown View Source

Persistence contract for Omni.Session.

Defines the adapter behaviour that storage backends implement, and the dispatch functions that Omni.Session (and applications) call.

A store is a {module, keyword()} tuple pairing the adapter module with its config. This is the canonical shape everywhere: users write it at Session.start_link(store: ...) time, Session threads it through internally, and applications stash it wherever they like.

store = {Omni.Session.Store.FileSystem, base_path: "/data/sessions"}

Omni.Session.start_link(store: store, new: "abc", agent: [...])
Omni.Session.Store.delete(store, "abc")

Configuring a store once in an application

The recommended path is to use Omni.Session.Manager with otp_app:, which reads the store from Application.get_env/3 for you:

defmodule MyApp.Sessions do
  use Omni.Session.Manager, otp_app: :my_app
end

# config/config.exs
config :my_app, MyApp.Sessions,
  store: {Omni.Session.Store.FileSystem, base_path: "priv/sessions", otp_app: :my_app}

# everywhere a session is needed
MyApp.Sessions.create(agent: [...])
MyApp.Sessions.delete("abc-123")

When configuration varies per environment, override in config/test.exs (etc.) using the same key.

Direct (non-Manager) usage

When sessions are started outside a Manager, the application owns the store tuple. A module attribute is enough for static configuration:

defmodule MyApp.Storage do
  @store {Omni.Session.Store.FileSystem, base_path: "/var/data/sessions"}
  def store, do: @store
end

Omni.Session.start_link(store: MyApp.Storage.store(), new: id, agent: [...])
Omni.Session.Store.delete(MyApp.Storage.store(), id)

For environment-specific configuration without a Manager, read the tuple from Application.get_env/3 inside the wrapper.

State categories

Persisted state falls into two categories, owned by different write paths:

CategorySourceCallbackTrigger
Tree (nodes + path + cursors)%Omni.Session.Tree{}save_treeTurn commits, navigation
State map (model/system/opts/title)Agent config + Session titlesave_stateAgent :state events, set_title/2

The two write paths operate on disjoint keys. Adapters that persist both in a single file or row (the FileSystem reference does) can safely read-modify-write each side — it is key-splatting, not a semantic merge.

Error model

Store callbacks return {:error, term()} on failure; Session never halts on store errors. POSIX atoms (e.g. :enoent, :eacces) bubble up unwrapped from filesystem backends. Error reasons are adapter-specific.

Implementing an adapter

Implement @behaviour Omni.Session.Store and the six callbacks:

Configuration arrives as a keyword() (the second element of the store tuple). Adapters are free to validate or destructure it as they prefer.

Summary

Types

Application-assigned session identifier.

Summary info returned by list/2.

The prescribed Session-owned state map.

t()

A store is {adapter_module, config} — a tagged pair Session threads through calls.

Callbacks

Delete a session and all its persisted state.

Returns true if id has persisted state in the adapter.

List session summaries ordered by updated_at descending.

Load a session by id.

Persist the Session-owned state map.

Persist the tree's nodes, active path, and cursors.

Functions

Delete a session via the store's adapter.

Check whether the store holds persisted state for id.

List session summaries via the store's adapter.

Load a session via the store's adapter.

Persist the state map via the store's adapter.

Persist the tree via the store's adapter.

Types

session_id()

@type session_id() :: String.t()

Application-assigned session identifier.

session_info()

@type session_info() :: %{
  id: session_id(),
  title: String.t() | nil,
  created_at: DateTime.t(),
  updated_at: DateTime.t()
}

Summary info returned by list/2.

state_map()

@type state_map() :: %{
  optional(:model) => Omni.Model.ref(),
  optional(:system) => String.t() | nil,
  optional(:opts) => keyword(),
  optional(:title) => String.t() | nil
}

The prescribed Session-owned state map.

A partial map is valid on save_state/4 and on the state_map returned from load/3. Session merges the loaded subset against start options during hydration.

t()

@type t() :: {module(), keyword()}

A store is {adapter_module, config} — a tagged pair Session threads through calls.

Callbacks

delete(config, session_id, keyword)

@callback delete(config :: term(), session_id(), keyword()) :: :ok | {:error, term()}

Delete a session and all its persisted state.

exists?(config, session_id)

@callback exists?(config :: term(), session_id()) :: boolean()

Returns true if id has persisted state in the adapter.

Used by Omni.Session to detect duplicate-id collisions on start_link(new: binary_id). Adapter errors should surface as false — the caller treats "unsure" and "not present" identically.

list(config, keyword)

@callback list(
  config :: term(),
  keyword()
) :: {:ok, [session_info()]}

List session summaries ordered by updated_at descending.

Adapters must honour the following opts:

  • :limit — maximum number of results (unlimited if absent).
  • :offset — number of results to skip (defaults to 0).

Other opts are adapter-specific; undefined options are ignored.

load(config, session_id, keyword)

@callback load(config :: term(), session_id(), keyword()) ::
  {:ok, Omni.Session.Tree.t(), state_map()} | {:error, :not_found}

Load a session by id.

Returns {:ok, tree, state_map} on success, or {:error, :not_found} when no session exists for the id. state_map may contain only a subset of keys if the session has never had some values persisted.

save_state(config, session_id, state_map, keyword)

@callback save_state(config :: term(), session_id(), state_map(), keyword()) ::
  :ok | {:error, term()}

Persist the Session-owned state map.

Session always passes the full persistable subset it intends to retain under these keys — adapters use overwrite semantics. Keys not present in state_map should be left untouched by this call (they may have been written by a prior save_tree/4).

save_tree(config, session_id, t, keyword)

@callback save_tree(config :: term(), session_id(), Omni.Session.Tree.t(), keyword()) ::
  :ok | {:error, term()}

Persist the tree's nodes, active path, and cursors.

opts may include :new_node_ids as an append hint — when present, the adapter may append only those nodes to its node log rather than rewriting the full set. When absent, the adapter should persist the full node set.

Adapters manage their own created_at / updated_at timestamps.
