rxjs-class-react-hook v1.1.1

rxjs-class-react-hook

This module is a simple class to extend that will help you create rxjs stores.

How to use it

Store

import { Store } from "rxjs-class-react-hook";

export interface AppState {
    online: boolean;
    lang: string;
    theme: string;
}

const initialState: AppState = {
    online: true,
    lang: "en",
    theme: "blue",
};

class AppStore extends Store<AppState> {
    setOnline(online: boolean) {
        // Setter that merges the argument given into current state
        this.merge({ online });
    }

    setTheme(theme: string) {
        // Setter that merges the argument given with initialState and stores them in current state
        this.replace({
            online: true,
            lang: "en",
            theme,
        });
    }

    initialize() {
        // Resets the store to its initial state
        this.reset();
    }
}

const appStore = new AppStore(initialState);

export default appStore;

PersistStore

Much like Store, PersistStore is a different implement implementation which enables to persist the data. By default it auto loads and auto saves on init/changes and can be disabled.

A LocalStoragePersistor is packaged to enable saving to localStorage, but you can write your own persistors.

Selector

Selector is a small class helper to keep selectors. It is to extend for helping accessing data.

import { Selector } from "rxjs-class-react-hook";

export interface UserState {
    accessToken?: string;
    loginFailed: boolean;
}

export default class UserSelector extends Selector<UserState> {
    isOnline() {
        return Boolean(this.state.accessToken);
    }

    hasLoginError() {
        return this.state.loginFailed;
    }
}

The React hook

By setting the store as shown above, appStore will have a method available appStore.useState(). This method returns the current state of the store and refreshes as React.useState() when a change is applied.

To update the store, you just have to call the methods we defined earlier (e.g. appStore.initialize() will reset the store state to initialState)
