@chat-adapter/state-memory

In-memory state adapter for Chat SDK. For development and testing only — state is lost on restart.

Warning: Only use the memory adapter for local development and testing. State is lost on restart and locks don't work across multiple instances. For production, use @chat-adapter/state-redis, @chat-adapter/state-ioredis, or @chat-adapter/state-pg.

Installation

pnpm add @chat-adapter/state-memory

import { createMemoryState } from "@chat-adapter/state-memory";

});

No configuration options are needed.
