OPAQUE

const OPAQUE: typeof OPAQUE

Defined in: aberdeen.ts:2040

A symbol that controls how Aberdeen handles an object in copy operations and proxy wrapping.

The presence of this symbol (regardless of its value) prevents deep-copying: the object is stored and passed by reference in clone and copy.

The value of the symbol controls proxy wrapping when the object is read from reactive state:

  • Truthy (e.g. true): the object is fully opaque — it is not wrapped in a proxy, so its properties are not observable. Use this for objects that break when proxied (e.g. class instances with internal slots, Promises) or that must be invisible to Aberdeen’s reactive system.
  • Falsy (e.g. false): the object is still wrapped in a proxy, so reads on its properties create reactive dependencies as normal — only deep-copying is suppressed.
