@izod/react v1.0.0

@izod/react

NOTE: This is very early stage, documentation is not complete and breaking API changes likely ahead. Please use at your own risk. Lock your version in case you use. (Even though I will adhere to semver for updates)

izod leverages zod to provide a type safe Promise oriented API to manage iframe communication.

This is the react adapter built on top of @izod/core

Installation

npm i zod @izod/core @izod/react

Usage

// common.ts

import { z } from 'zod';
import type { EventMap } from '@izod/core';

export const parentOriginEvents = {
  askQuestion: z.object({
    question: z.string(),
  }),
  shout: z.object({
    message: z.string(),
  }),
} as const satisfies EventMap;

export const childOriginEvents = {
  answerQuestion: z.object({
    answer: z.string(),
  }),
  whisper: z.object({
    message: z.string(),
  }),
} as const satisfies EventMap;

// parent.tsx

import { child } from '@izod/react';

function Parent() {
  //  accepts all the parameters that `createChild` from @izod/core does
  // `api` is the same that is returned from `connectToParent.executeHandshake` from @izod/core
  // `on` can be used to attach event listeners
  const { on, api, executeHandshake } = child.useCreate({
    container: document.body, // required
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3010', // required
    inboundEvents: parentOriginEvents, // optional
    outboundEvents: childOriginEvents, // optional
    handshakeOptions: {
      // optional
      maxHandshakeRequests: 10, // default 5
      handshakeRetryInterval: 100, // default 1000
    },
    onHandshakeComplete(api) {
      // callback called when handshake is successful
    },
    onHandshakeError(error) {
      // callback called when handshake fails
    },
    // remove the iframe on component unmount
    destroyOnUnmount: false, // default false - optional
  });

  // `child.useEventListener` takes care of this boilerplate for you but is not fully type safe as of now
  // to add event listeners
  // prefer this over `onHandshakeComplete` for attaching event listeners
  useEffect(() => {

      const off = on('askQuestion', (data) => {

      // return that from the useEffect for cleanup
