Memory management and proxies

Cells are not garbage collected automatically, since the best practice is to keep a long-running Sheet for each application.

To delete a cell, use:

sheet.delete(cell);

To simplify these operations, you can define a sub-graph of cells in a Proxy that can be deleted at once.

import { SheetProxy } from "@okcontract/cells";

// create a proxy (for instance in a Svelte component)
const proxy = new SheetProxy(sheet);

// use the proxy to create new cells...
const cell = proxy.new(1);
// ...and mapped cells
const mappedCell = proxy.map([...cells], (...args)=>{...})

// delete the proxy when you're done
proxy.destroy();

There are added benefits of proxies, including a single call to wait for all cells in a Proxy to be computed.

await proxy.working.wait();
