virtex-local v0.4.11

virtex-local

A local state middleware for virtex components

Installation

$ npm install virtex-local

Usage

First, you need to install it in your redux middleware stack before virtex-component. E.g.

applyMiddleware(local('app'), component, dom(document), ...others)

The 'app' string passed to virtex-local tells it where in your global state atom your component state tree will be mounted. In this case, state.app is where it will live. In order for this to work, you will also need to mount redux-ephemeral into your reducer at the same key, like this:

import {mount} from 'virtex-local'

export default mount('app', reducer)

Local state

When using virtex-local, your components will receive three extra things in their model:

• local - Wraps actions that you want to direct to your local reducer.
• state - Your components local state.

Example

import element from 'virtex-element'

function render ({local, state}) {
  return (
    <input type='text' onChange={local(setText)} />
    <span>
      The text in your input is {state.text}
    </span>
  )
}

const SET_TEXT = 'SET_TEXT'

function setText (e) {
  const text = e.currentTarget.value

  return {
    type: SET_TEXT,
    payload: text
  }
}

function reducer (state, action) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case SET_TEXT:
      return {
        ...state,
        text: action.payload
      }
  }

  return state
}

export default {
  render,
  reducer
}

Dirty map

There is a second argument you may pass to the virtex-local middleware when you install it, dirty. If you pass this argument, virtex-local will maintain a map of the dirty state of your components. This can be useful for implementing partial subtree re-rendering optimizations. E.g.

const dirty = {}
applyMiddleware(local('app', dirty), ...)

function update (state) {
  Object.keys(dirty).forEach(key => rerenderSubtree(key)))
}
