@preact-signals/unified-signals

@preact-signals/unified-signals is runtime agnostic @preact/signals reexport. That can be used for library developers that want to rely on user preact signals runtime. If you want to write library that uses preact signals you can take benefit from @preact-signals/unified-signals. It uses shims instead of hooks if runtime do not providing them. Also we ship untracked polyfill in untracked-polyfill entry.

Installation

You can install @preact-signals/unified-signals using your package manager of choice:

# npm
npm i @preact-signals/unified-signals
# yarn
yarn i @preact-signals/unified-signals
# pnpm
pnpm i @preact-signals/unified-signals

Usage in library

If you are using @preact-signals/unified-signals in your library to preserve runtime agnosticism you can use should add this lines into your package.json:

{
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@preact/signals": ">=1.2.0",
    "@preact/signals-core": ">=1.5.0",
    "@preact/signals-react": ">=2.0.0",
    "@preact-signals/safe-react": "workspace:*"
  },
  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "@preact/signals": {
      "optional": true
    },
    "@preact/signals-core": {
      "optional": true
    },
    "@preact-signals/safe-react": {
      "optional": true
    }
  }
}

API Overview

Basic @preact/signals API and untracked-polyfill

untrackedPolyfill

On old versions of preact signals untracked is not implemented, so it can be reasonable to use polyfill

import * as signals from '@preact-signals/unified-signals'
import {untrackedPolyfill} from '@preact-signals/unified-signals/untracked-polyfill'

const {
  signal,
  computed
} = signals
const untracked = signals?.untracked ?? untrackedPolyfill

const a = signal(1);
const b = signal(2);
const c = computed(() => a.value + untracked(() => b.value));

console.log(c.value); // 3
a.value = 2;
console.log(c.value); // 4
b.value = 3;
console.log(c.value); // 4
