skate

Manage app state

npm install skate --save

Examples

Basic usage

var skate = require('skate')
var state = skate()
state('user', 47) // 47
state('user') // 47
state('dreaming', true) // true
state() // calls state.raw()
state.raw() // {user: 47, dreaming: true}
state('dreaming', false)
state.kill() // {user: 47, dreaming: false}
state.raw() // {}

Multiple instances

var skate = require('skate')
var you = skate()
var me = skate()
you('talking', true)
me('listening', true)

Extension

Use an event emitter to emit events when states change

var state = require('skate')()
var emitter = require('energy')()
state.emit = function(changedStateName) {
  emitter.emit(changedStateName)
}

Prevent access to the state hash

var state = require('skate')()
state.raw = function() {}
state('user', 47)
state() // undefined
