CALVIN

CALVIN: Changing Any Lifeless Value Into Notifications

Installation

yarn add @endgame/calvin
# or
npm i -S @endgame/calvin

Wait... WHY ?

Writing a lot of JS logic is very cool, stylish and SWAG... but putting too much logic in your files can make them bloated and hard to maintain.

NOT ANYMORE!!!

NOW YOU CAN USE COMPUTED PROPERTIES AND WATCHERS... IN VANILLA JS 😱

P.S. TypeScript is fully supported

🤔 Computed properties... watchers... WTF??? Are you even talking English man?

Yeah dude... just read thaaaaaaat and then... only then... go cry to your mother!

The example 😏

import { Calvin } from '@endgame/calvin';

// Declare a new data reactor like this 🚀
const reactor = new Calvin({
  myReactiveData: 0,
});

// Declare computed properties this way
reactor.computed({
  myAwesomeComputed() {
    return `myReactiveData equals: ${this.myReactiveData}`;
  },
});

// Get notified any time a property is updated
reactor.watch({
  myReactiveData() {
    // This watcher will be called whenever you update myReactiveData

    // You can, for example, call a specific method on myReactiveData's update
    handleMyReactiveDataUpdate(this.myReactiveData);
  },
  myAwesomeComputed() {
    // This watcher will be called whenever myAwesomeComputed gets updated
    console.log(this.myAwesomeComputed);
  },
});

// Let's see what can be done with this cool reactor 🔥
// Try to run this loop to see what CALVIN does.
const letsSeeWhatCanBeDoneWithThisCoolReactor = () => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Add one every 1 seconds in order to test the reactor's features
    reactor.data.myReactiveData += 1;

    // Repeat it to test it... indefinitely 😍
    letsSeeWhatCanBeDoneWithThisCoolReactor();
  }, 1000);
};

List of features

Access data

import { Calvin } from '@endgame/calvin';

const reactor = new Calvin({
  myReactiveData: 0,
});

reactor.computed({
  myComputed() {
    return `myReactiveData equals: ${this.myReactiveData}`;
  },
});

// Access the declared data and computed
console.log(reactor.data.myReactiveData);
console.log(reactor.data.myComputed);

Watch

import { Calvin } from '@endgame/calvin';

const reactor = new Calvin({
  myReactiveData: 0,
});

// Get notified any time myReactiveData is updated
reactor.watch({
  myReactiveData() {
    console.log(this.myReactiveData);
  },
});

Unwatch

import { Calvin } from '@endgame/calvin';

const reactor = new Calvin({
  myReactiveData: 0,
});

const watchersIds = reactor.watch({
  myReactiveData() {
    console.log(this.myReactiveData);
  },
});

// ⚡ Unwatch data to avoid memory leak
reactor.unwatch(watchersIds);
