ob.js

ob.js comes from Vue.js. It's a small, efficient library for observing changes to javascript Object, Array and Class.

Installation

npm install --save ob.js

or

bower install --save ob.js

Usage

To watch expression. ob.watch(target, expression, callback) or ob(target, expression, callback)

Try it on: codepen jsfiddle

const target = {a: 1}
ob(target, 'a', function (newValue, oldValue) {
  console.log(newValue, oldValue)
})
target.a = 3
// 3 1

To add computed property. ob.compute(target, name, getter)

Try it on: codepen jsfiddle

const target = {a: 1}
ob.compute(target, 'b', function () {
  return this.a * 2
})
console.log(target.b)
// 2
target.a = 3
console.log(target.b)
// 6

To watch expressions and computed properties. ob.react(options)

Try it on: codepen jsfiddle

const options = {
  data: {
    PI: Math.PI,
    radius: 1,
  },
  computed: {
    'area': function () {
      return this.PI * this.square(this.radius) // πr²
    },
  },
  watchers: {
    'area': function (newValue, oldValue) {
      console.log(`area: ${newValue}`)
    },
  },
  methods: {
    square (num) {
      return num * num
    },
  },
}
const target = ob.react(options)
target.radius = 3
// area: 28.274333882308138

API

properties

methods

ob(...)

• It's syntactic sugar of ob.default. See 'properties' for details

ob.watch(target, expression, callback)

• target: Any object
• expression: String or Function
• callback: Function
• Returns Watcher. And calling watcher.teardown() could unwatch expression

ob.compute(target, name, accessor, cache)

• target: Any object
• name: String
• accessor:
  • Function: It will be the get of accessor
  • Object: Contains: (at least get or set)
    • get: Function
    • set: Function
    • cache: Boolean. Optional. The default is true. If false, the get will be evaluated whenever reading computed properties
• cache: Boolean. Same as accessor.cache

ob.react(options, target)

• options: Object. Contains:
  • data: It's the properties to add
  • computed: It's the computed properties to add
  • watchers: It's the watchers to watch properties or computed properties
  • methods: The methods to add. And these will bind to target
• target: Any object. Optional. The default is empty object. It will be attached with the fields of options
• returns target
