watch-me-now v1.0.5

Watch Me Now

the teeny-tiny, zero-dependency object observer

• emits on property assignments for all data types
• emits on delete
• emits on mutable Array function calls
• works on nested properties (infinitely)
• works in node as well as the browser!

installation:

npm install watch-me-now --save

example usage:

const WatchMeNow = require(`watch-me-now`)

// define a callback for when changes occur
const onStateChange = ({type, current, old, path, key}) => {
    console.log(`\nonStateChange() - ${type}, ${path.length ? `path: ${path}, ` : ``}key: ${key}`)
    console.log({new_state: JSON.stringify(current)})
    console.log({old_state: JSON.stringify(old)})
}

// instantiate an object to observe
const state = WatchMeNow({}, onStateChange)

// go nuts
state.foo = `bar`
state.foo = {bar: `baz`}
state.foo.bar = `bum`

state.foo.bar = 24601
state.foo.bar += 5 + 14

delete state.foo.bar

state.my_array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
state.my_array[0] = `potato`
state.my_array.reverse()

state.foo = {nested_array: [`a`, `b`, `c`]}
state.foo.nested_array.reverse()
state.foo.nested_array.push({six_times_seven: 42})
