Actyx RPC React

React client for Actyx RPC — type-safe queries, mutations, streaming, and server actions.

@explita/actyx-rpc-react provides first-class React hooks and client-side caching for Actyx RPC. It enables end-to-end type safety from server procedures to React components with zero code generation.

Quick Start

1. Setup Provider & QueryClient

Wrap your application root (or layout) with ActyxProvider:

// app/providers.tsx
"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { ActyxProvider, QueryClient } from "@explita/actyx-rpc-react";

export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [queryClient] = useState(() => new QueryClient({
    queries: {
      staleTime: "5m",
    },
  }));

  return (
    <ActyxProvider client={queryClient}>
      {children}
    </ActyxProvider>
  );
}

2. Query and Mutate Procedures

Use your typed server procedures directly inside React components:

// components/user-profile.tsx
"use client";

import { useQuery, useMutation } from "@explita/actyx-rpc-react";
import { getUserProfile, updateUserProfile } from "@/server/procedures";

export function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  // Queries automatically infer inputs, outputs, and status
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getUserProfile, {
    input: { id: userId },
  });

  // Mutations provide async execution and reactive states
  const { mutate, isPending } = useMutation(updateUserProfile, {
    onSuccess(updated) {
      console.log("Profile updated:", updated.name);
    },
  });

  if (isLoading) return <p>Loading profile...</p>;
  if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{data?.name}</h2>
      <p>{data?.email}</p>

      <button
        disabled={isPending}
        onClick={() => mutate({ id: userId, name: "New Name" })}
      >
        {isPending ? "Saving..." : "Save Changes"}
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Features

• End-to-End Type Safety: Input validation and output types flow seamlessly from server procedures to hooks.
• Core Hooks: useQuery, useMutation, and useSuspenseQuery with automatic unwrap and selection helpers.
• Parallel Fetching: useQueries with per-element contextual type inference and IDE autocompletion.
• Pagination & Infinite Lists: useInfiniteQuery and usePaginatedQuery with bidirectional selection sync.
• Real-Time Streaming: First-class useSSE (Server-Sent Events) and useWS (WebSocket) hooks.
• Stream Pagination: useSSEInfiniteQuery and useWSInfiniteQuery for real-time live feeds.
• Activity Tracking: useIsFetching and useIsMutating indicators for global background state.
• Intelligent Caching: QueryClient supports TTL, stale windows, optimistic updates, and tag invalidation.
