Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Keep your MobX State Tree state in sync with react-router

Readme

mst-react-router

Keep your mobx-state-tree state in sync with react-router via a RouterModel.

This library provides a RouterModel model which can instantiated and composed as part of your root app store.

This library is for use with react-router v4.

Installation

npm install --save mst-react-router

And if you haven't installed all the peer dependencies, you should probably do that now:

npm install --save mobx-state-tree mobx mobx-react react-router

Usage

index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import createBrowserHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory';
import { Provider } from 'mobx-react';
import { Router } from 'react-router';
import { types } from 'mobx-state-tree';
import { RouterModel, syncHistoryWithStore } from 'mst-react-router';

import App from './App';

const routerModel = RouterModel.create();

// Define root model type
const Model = types.model({
  router: RouterModel
});

export const store = Model.create({ router: routerModel });

// Hook up router model to browser history object
const history = syncHistoryWithStore(createBrowserHistory(), routerModel);

ReactDOM.render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Router history={history}>
      <App />
    </Router>
  </Provider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { inject, observer } from 'mobx-react';
import { withRouter } from 'react-router';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    const { location, push, goBack } = this.props.store.router;

    return (
      <div>
        <span>Current pathname: {location.pathname}</span>
        <button onClick={() => push('/test')}>Change url</button>
        <button onClick={() => goBack()}>Go Back</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

// withRouter helps avoid update "block" issues
export default withRouter(inject('store')(App));

Troubleshooting

Routes not updating correctly when URL changes

There is a known issue with React Router 4 and MobX (and Redux) where "blocker" components like those created by @observer (and @connect in Redux) block react router updates from propagating down the component tree.

There is a React Router 4 documentation page for information on this issue:

https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/master/packages/react-router/docs/guides/blocked-updates.md

To fix problems like this, try wrapping components which are being "blocked" with React Router's withRouter higher order component should help, depdending on the case.

Refer to the link above for more information on this solution, and some alternatives.

API

RouterModel

const routerModel = RouterModel.create();

A RouterModel instance has the following properties:

And the following history methods, which all have the same signatures as listed on the history API page (follow the link).

push(path, [state]) replace(path, [state]) go(n) goBack() goForward() block(prompt)

syncHistoryWithStore(history, store)

  • history - A variant of a history object, usually browserHistory
  • store - An instance of RouterModel

returns an enhanced history object with the following additional method:

  • unsubscribe()
    Un-syncs the store from the history. The store will no longer update when the history changes.
const history = syncHistoryWithStore(createBrowserHistory(), routingModel);
history.unsubscribe();
// Store no longer updates
