Store2State DOM Subscriber

The Store2State DOM Subscriber is an extension of the store2state library that provides a straightforward way to bind application state changes to DOM elements in vanilla JavaScript. This utility allows you to manage UI updates efficiently by subscribing to state changes and reacting accordingly.

Features

• DOM Binding: Easily bind application state to DOM elements.
• Custom Actions: Define and execute actions when the state changes.
• Event Handling: Attach event listeners to DOM elements for interactive applications.
• Dynamic Updates: Automatically update the DOM in response to state changes.

Installation

Ensure store2state is installed in your project:

# Install store2state if not already installed
npm install store2state

Install store2state-dom package in your project:

npm install store2state-dom

Usage

Creating a Store

Begin by creating a store with an initial state using store2state:

import { createStore } from 'store2state';

const initialState = {
  count: 0,
  message: 'Hello, World!',
};

const store = createStore(initialState);

Creating a Subscriber

Use the createSubscriber function to create a new subscriber for a DOM element:

import { createSubscriber } from './path-to-subscriber-file';

const displayElement = document.getElementById('display');

const subscriber = createSubscriber(store, displayElement);

Adding Subscribers

Add actions to be executed when the state changes:

subscriber.addSubscriber((ele, state) => {
  ele.textContent = `Count: ${state.count}, Message: ${state.message}`;
}).subscribe();

Initializing the Subscriber

Initialize the DOM element with the current state:

subscriber.init((ele, state) => {
  ele.textContent = `Initial Count: ${state.count}, Message: ${state.message}`;
});

Handling Events

Add event listeners to DOM elements:

const incrementButton = document.getElementById('increment');

subscriber.addEventListener('click', (event, store) => {
  store.set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 }));
});

Dispatching Actions

Execute custom actions and dispatch events to update subscribers:

subscriber.action((store) => {
  // Perform any state updates or other logic here
  store.set((state) => ({ message: 'State Updated!' }));
});

API Reference

CreateSubscriber Methods

• addSubscriber(action: Action<State>): Adds an action to be executed on state changes. Returns the CreateSubscriber instance for method chaining.
• getLastSubscriberId(): Returns the ID of the last added subscriber.
• removeSubscriber(id: string): Removes a subscriber action by ID. Returns the CreateSubscriber instance.
• addEventListener(eventName: string, listener: (event: Event, store: Store<State>) => void): Adds an event listener to the DOM element, automatically executing the provided listener in response to events. Returns the CreateSubscriber instance.
• subscribe(): Subscribes all added actions to state changes. Returns the CreateSubscriber instance.
• init(initAction: Action<State>): Initializes the DOM element with the current state. Returns the CreateSubscriber instance.
• action(actionMethod: (store: Store<State>) => void): Executes a custom action and dispatches a domChange event to update subscribers.
