Class Outlet<T>

Readonlyname

Readonlynode

connections

• get connections(): readonly Inlet<T>[]

  The inlets this outlet feeds.

  Returns readonly Inlet<T>[]

version

• get version(): number

  How many times this outlet's value has actually changed. Downstream nodes compare against this to decide whether a dirty mark was a real change or a false alarm. 0 means nothing has been produced yet.

  Returns number

connect

• connect(inlet: Inlet<T>): this

  Wires this output into inlet.

  Parameters

  • inlet: Inlet<T>

  Returns this

  Throws

  if the edge would close a cycle.

disconnect

• disconnect(inlet: Inlet<T>): this

  Removes the edge to inlet, if present.

  Parameters

  • inlet: Inlet<T>

  Returns this

get

• get(): T

  Evaluates this outlet and returns its value.

  Pull-based: the owning node recomputes only if it is dirty and an upstream version actually changed. A clean node returns the cached value without touching the rest of the graph.

  Returns T

peek

• peek(): T | undefined

  Returns the cached value without evaluating anything, or undefined if this outlet has never produced one. Use it to inspect graph state (a debug view, a node inspector) without forcing computation.

  Returns T | undefined
