cerebral-view-riot v0.1.3

Cerebral mixin for Riot

Connects Riot tags to the necessary Cerebral state and signals

Usage

1. Connect cerebral and riot through a mixin

cerebral-view-riot gives you a mixin factory. To create the mixin it needs the cerebral controller. When you have the mixin register it with riot.mixin.

import Controller from 'cerebral'
import Model from 'cerebral-model-baobab'
import createMixin from 'cerebral-view-riot'

const controller = Controller(Model({}))

// global mixin - affects all tags directly
riot.mixin(createMixin(controller))

2. Listen on state and trigger signals in your tags

All tags now have this.connectCerebral. Pass it an object where the keys are property names you want to populate on the tag scope and the values are cerebral state paths.
You reach signals the same way, just pass a second argument object to connectCerebral.

<thing-list>
  <ul>
    <li each={ thing in list } onclick={highlight}>{thing.name}</li>
  </ul>

  <script>
    this.connectCerebral({
      list: ['thingsModule', 'list']
    }, {
      highlight: ['thingsModule', 'highlight']
    })
  </script>
</thing-list>

We now have:

• this.list
connectCerebral will listen to changes on controller.get().thingsModule.list. Whenever it updates connectCerebral will repopulate the this.list and run this.update on the tag.
• this.highlight
  Referencing controller.getSignals().thingsModule.highlight
