@fluidframework/container-definitions

This package contains the interfaces and types concerning the Loader and loading the Container.

Some important interfaces in here include:

• ILoader, IContainer - Interfaces allowing the Host to load and interact with a Container
• IContainerContext - Proxy between the Host and the running instance of a Container, which allows the code supporting the running Container to be swapped out during a session.
• IRuntime / IRuntimeFactory - Contract necessary for the ContainerContext to "boot" a Container at runtime.
• IDeltaManager / IDeltaQueue - Abstraction over the Container's view of the ops being transmitted to/from storage.

Using Fluid Framework libraries

When taking a dependency on a Fluid Framework library, we recommend using a ^ (caret) version range, such as ^1.3.4. While Fluid Framework libraries may use different ranges with interdependencies between other Fluid Framework libraries, library consumers should always prefer ^.

Note that when depending on a library version of the form 2.0.0-internal.x.y.z, called the Fluid internal version scheme, you must use a >= < dependency range (such as >=2.0.0-internal.x.y.z <2.0.0-internal.w.0.0 where w is x+1). Standard ^ and ~ ranges will not work as expected. See the @fluid-tools/version-tools package for more information including tools to convert between version schemes.
