use-instance

Library to get Object Instances via context. It can be useful when you want to access your object instances from other React components.

Installation

In order to install the package. use the following command:

yarn add @backium/use-instance

Usage

First, you should add InstanceProvider.

import { InstanceProvider } from '@backium/use-instance';
import App from './App';

export default () => {
  return (
    <InstanceProvider>
      <App />
    </InstanceProvider>
  );
};

Add object instance to the store

import { InstanceProvider, useInstance } from '@backium/use-instance';
import SomeComponent from './SomeComponent';

class SecretManager {
  get() {
    return 'supersecret';
  }
}

const App = () => {
  const { setInstance } = useInstance();
  const secretManager = new SecretManager();
  React.useEffect(() => {
    setInstance('secretManager', secretManager);
  }, []);
  return <SomeComponent />;
};

Use object instance from another component

import { useInstance } from '@backium/use-instance';

const SomeComponent = () => {
  const [secret, setSecret] = React.useState('');
  const { instances, getInstance } = useInstance();
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const instance = getInstance<SecretManager>('secretManager');
    const secretText = instance?.get();
    if (secretText) {
      setSecret(secretText);
    }
  }, [instances]);
  return <div>{secret}</div>;
};

export default SomeComponent;
