Time Since Last Operation

Description

The Hive system maintains a timer for every key that measures the number of seconds elapsed since the last operation. This operation returns the time calculated by the timer as a number of seconds elapsed since the last operation performed on the specified key.

Method

Backendless.Hive(hiveName).[bucketType](keyName).secondsSinceLastOperation(): Promise<number|null>;

where:

Argument	Description
hiveName	Name of a hive where the operation is performed. String value.
[bucketType]	This placeholder must be substituted with one of the following stores types: KeyValueStore, ListStore, MapStore, SetStore, SortedSetStore.
keyName	Key name to get the time since last operation for. String value.

Return Value

The number of seconds elapsed since the last operation.

null if the specified key does not exist.

Example

The example below retrieves the number of seconds elapsed since the last operation performed on the 'fruits' key.

await Backendless.Hive('groceryStore').listStore('fruits').secondsSinceLastOperation()

where:

Argument	Description
'groceryStore'	Name of a hive where the operation is performed.
'fruits'	Key name to get time since the last operation.

Codeless Reference

where:

Argument	Description
hive name	Name of a hive where the operation is performed.
type	Storage type, can be one of the following: Key / Value, Sorted Set, Set, Map, List.
key name	Key name to get the time since last operation for.

Returns the number of seconds since the last operation. null if the specified key does not exist.
