ActionCable for React with Hooks

Install

npm install --save react_action_cable
# OR
yarn add react_action_cable

Usage

The public API exports two components that you'll use: <ActionCableProvider /> and <ActionCableConsumer />.

<ActionCableProvider />

The provider is used in an outer container and wraps all of the components that may or may not consume the context. It accepts url. Passing url will result in the provider instantiating its own ActionCable.Consumer with that URL.

With url

<ActionCableProvider url="ws://test.example.com/cable">...</ActionCableProvider>

<ActionCableConsumer />

The consumer will wrap an individual component. It accepts several props:

• channel [String] Name of the channel to which you want to subscribe.
• channel [Object] An object with a channel key which denotes the channel to which you want to subscribe. All other keys are passed to the channel as params.
• onConnected [Function] A handler function that is called when the channel connects.
• onDisconnected [Function] A handler function that is called when the channel disconnects.
• onInitialized [Function] A handler function that is called when the ActionCable.Consumer is initialized.
• onRejected [Function] A handler function that is called when the requested subscription is rejected.
• onReceived [Function] A handler function that is called when the channel transmits a message to the client.

import React from "react";
import { ActionCableConsumer } from "@ulugbekov/react_action_cable";

function NotificationsChannel(props) {
  function onReceived(data) {}

  function onConnected() {}

  function onDisconnected() {}

  function onRejected() {}

  return (
    <ActionCableConsumer
      channel="NotificationsChannel"
      onReceived={onReceived}
      onConnected={onConnected}
      onDisconnected={onDisconnected}
      onRejected={onRejected}
    />
  );
}

export default NotificationsChannel;
