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 🙏

State Machine routing for Mobx

Motivation

  • State Machines are great for declarative, predictable UI transitions
  • MobX is great at re-rendering UIs, observing and intercepting changes
  • Combining these two, and making URL persistence separate (and optional), brings modern, simple, predictable routing to React and React Native apps using Mobx 4+

How it works

  • A State Map is defined with a set of states and their actions:

    {
      'HOME': {
          actions: {
              goToWork: 'WORK'
          }
      },
      'WORK': {...
  • Emitting an action produces a new state

    emit(actionName: string, query: object = {})
  • Components are re-rendered automatically thanks to Mobx' Observer HOC and @observer decorator

  • Side Effects can also happen when state/params change using React's useEffect(), mobx.observe() or mobx.autorun()

    useEffect(() => {
      // do something with state
    }, [router.currentState]);
  • mobx.intercept can be used for error handling, and interceptAsync can be used for async side-effects

  • URL persistence is optional and separate

  • First class React Native support


Installation

npm install @mobx-state-machine-router/core

or

yarn add @mobx-state-machine-router/core

Basics

const states = {
    'HOME': {
        actions: {
            goToWork: 'WORK'
        }
    },
    'WORK': {
        actions: {
            goHome: 'HOME'
        }
    }
};

stateMachineRouter.emit('goToWork');

console.log(stateMachineRouter.currentState.name);
> 'WORK'

Passing Params

All params are passed as mobx observables, allowing to observe and intercept them. Both the currentState object as well as individual params can be observed.


stateMachineRouter.emit('goToWork', { method: 'car' });

console.log(stateMachineRouter.currentState);
{
    name: 'WORK',
    params: {
        method: 'car'
    }
}

Observing state changes

observe(stateMachineRouter, 'currentState', () => {});
observe(stateMachineRouter.currentState.params, 'method', () => {});

Intercepting state changes

// reject state change
intercept(stateMachineRouter, 'currentState', object => {
  if (!loggedOut) {
    return { ...object, newValue: { name: 'LOGIN' } };
  }
  return object;
});
import interceptAsync from 'mobx-intercept-async';

// reject state change
interceptAsync(stateMachineRouter, 'currentState', async object => {
  // log user in
  if (await login(object.newValue.params.userId)) {
    return object;
  }
  return { ...object, newValue: { name: 'LOGIN_ERROR' } };
});

Rendering UI Elements

The Router can be accessed in using React's Context API or other means. Components wrapped in observer will re-render whenever state changes.

import { observer } from 'mobx-react';

export const App = observer(() => {
  const { currentState } = router;

  return (
    <>
    { currentState.name === 'home' && <Home> }
    { currentState.name === 'about' && <About> }
    </>
  )
});
