@kingstinct/observable
Easy-to-use and dependency-free observable library. await
a specific value. Observe value changes. And if you use React there is a hook.
Examples
waitFor
Network Status
const networkStatus = observable('cellular');
// ...
await networkStatus.waitFor('wifi');
console.log('Start downloading large file..');
downloadLargeFile();
// ...
networkStatus.set('wifi'); // Start downloading large file..
observe
Observe as the value changes
const networkStatus = observable('cellular');
// ...
networkStatus.observe((status, previousStatus) => {
console.log('NetworkStatus changed from ' + previousStatus + ' to ' + status)
});
// ...
networkStatus.set('wifi'); // NetworkStatus changed from cellular to wifi
networkStatus.set('offline'); // NetworkStatus changed from wifi to offline
Set with previous value
Easy to keep it clean and immutable.
Toggle
const isSyncEnabled = observable(false);
// ...
await isSyncEnabled.waitFor(true);
updateUI();
syncChanges();
// ...
const toggleSync = (previousValue) => !previousValue
isSyncEnabled.set(toggleSync);
Press button 10 times
const buttonPresses = observable(0);
// ...
await buttonPresses.waitFor(10);
// ...
function onClick(){
buttonPresses.set(value => value + 1);
}
Works great with React!
No need to complicate things. We provide a hook - and it works exactly like setState does - directly tied to the backing observable.
import { useObservable } from '@kingstinct/observable/react';
const clickObservable = observable(0);
const MyComponent = () => {
const [clickCount, setClickCount] = useObservable(clickObservable);
const onClick = () => setClickCount((previous) => previous + 1);
return <Button onClick={onClick}>{ clickCount }</Button>
}
Bring your own Promise library
By default native JavaScript Promises are used. But you can override it if you want:
observable.Promise = bluebird; // use Bluebird instead of native promise
const isOnlineObservable = observable(false);
await isOnlineObservable.waitFor(true).timeout(1000); // use Bluebird.timeout
