How to use it

createMutationObserver

import { createMutationObserver } from "@solid-primitives/mutation-observer";

// Simple usage with on a single parent element.
let ref!: HTMLElement;
createMutationObserver(
  () => ref,
  { attributes: true, subtree: true },
  records => console.log(records)
);

// Observing multiple parent elements:
createMutationObserver(
  () => [el1, el2, el3],
  { attributes: true, subtree: true },
  e => {...}
);

// Set individual MutationObserver options:
createMutationObserver(
  [
    [el, { attributes: true, subtree: true }],
    [el1, { childList: true }]
  ],
  e => {...}
);

// Primitive return usefull values:
const [observe, {start, stop, instance}] = createMutationObserver(el, options, handler)

observe(el1, { childList: true })
stop()

Directive Usage

// You have to name it as "mutationObserver" when using typescript
const [mutationObserver] = createMutationObserver([], e => {...})

<div use:mutationObserver={{ childList: true }}>...</div>

Standalone Directive Usage

import { mutationObserver } from "@solid-primitives/mutation-observer";

// has to be used in code to avoid tree-shaking it:
mutationObserver;

<div use:mutationObserver={[{ childList: true }, e => {...}]}>...</div>

  initial: MaybeAccessor<Node | Node[]>,
  options: MutationObserverInit,
