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 🙏

@taylor-ben/rxjs-hooks

This npm package provides easy-to-use React hooks for working with RxJS subjects and behavior subjects.

Installation

To install this package, run the following command:

npm install @taylor-ben/rxjs-hooks

Usage

To use this package, simply import the hooks you need into your React component:

import { useSubject, useBehaviorSubject } from "@taylor-ben/rxjs-hooks";

useSubject

The useSubject hook allows you to subscribe to an existing subject and fire events to all subscribers. It takes two inputs: the subject to subscribe to, and a callback function that will be fired on each event. It does not have a current value, but it does return a function to fire new events to all subscribers.

Here's an example of how to use it:

import { useSubject } from "@taylor-ben/rxjs-hooks";

const mySubject = new Subject();

function MyComponent() {
  const fireNextEvent = useSubject(mySubject, (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  });

  function handleClick() {
    fireNextEvent("Hello, world!");
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Emit Event</button>
    </div>
  );
}

useBehaviorSubject

The useBehaviorSubject hook allows you to subscribe to an existing behavior subject and maintain a current state. It takes two inputs: the behavior subject to subscribe to, and a callback function that will be fired on each event. It returns the current value of the behavior subject, as well as a function to update the current value.

Here's an example of how to use it:

import { useBehaviorSubject } from "@taylor-ben/rxjs-hooks";

const myBehaviorSubject = new BehaviorSubject("initial value");

function MyComponent() {
  const [value, setValue] = useBehaviorSubject(myBehaviorSubject, (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  });

  function handleClick() {
    setValue("new value");
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Change State</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Differences Between Subjects and Behavior Subjects

While both subjects and behavior subjects can be used to emit and subscribe to events, there is a key difference between the two:

  • Subjects are point-in-time events, meaning they are emitted and then immediately forgotten. They do not maintain a current state.
  • Behavior subjects are periods between two points, or states. They maintain a current state that can be updated and subscribed to.
