Fluxible-JS v6

Smaller, faster, better event-driven state management architecture that supports asynchronicity and state persistence out of the box with no extra code.

Change logs

From 5.0.10, the changelogs on the project will be kept in CHANGELOG, which follows keepachangelog.

Usage

``ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
user: null,
someOtherState: 'value',
anotherState: {
value: 'value'
}
};

const store = createStore({
initialStore,
persist: {
stringify: true,
syncStorage: {
setItem: (key, value) =>
window.localStorage.setItem(key, value as string),
getItem: key => window.localStorage.getItem(key)
},
restore: savedStore => ({
user: savedStore.user
})
}
});
`

Creating a store

`ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
user: null,
someOtherState: 'value',
anotherState: {
value: 'value'
}
};

function initCallback () {
console.log('initialization complete');
}

const myStore = createStore({ initialStore }, initCallback);
`

createStore function returns an instance of a store that has variety of methods in it. You can access the store's current value by via myStore.store. The 2nd parameter which is the initCallback is optional function that gets called after the store has been initialized, this is especially useful when using async storage.

Persisting states

Persisting states allows you to save your application's state to a storage on the local device and then reuse those states the next time your application starts.

You need to tell fluxible-js which storage to use, a storage API must have a getItem and setItem methods in them. An example of this would be window.localStorage or React-Async-Storage

You also need to tell fluxible-js which states to persist, you can do this via the restore callback function.

You need to tell fluxible-js if the states has to be stringified (using JSON.stringify) before being saved to the storage by specifying stringify parameter.

$3

setItem and getItem should be async or should return a promise, pretty much like with React-Native-Async-Storage. See example use-case with react-fluxible.

`ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
token: null,
isLoggedIn: false,
initComplete: false
};

const store = createStore(
{
initialStore,
persist: {
stringify: true,
asyncStorage: {
setItem: (key, value) => someAsyncStorage.setItem(key, value as string), // value will be a string because stringify is set to true
getItem: key => someAsyncStorage.getItem(key) // has to be a string because stringify is set to true
}
restore: (savedStore) => {
return {
token: savedStore.token
};
}
}
},
() => {
store.updateStore({ initComplete: true });
}
);
`

$3

getItem and setItem should be sync, pretty much like with window.localStorage. See example use-case with react-fluxible.

`ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
token: null,
isLoggedIn: false
};

const store = createStore({
initialStore,
persist: {
stringify: true,
syncStorage: {
setItem: (key, value) =>
window.localStorage.setItem(key, value as string), // value will be a string because stringify is set to true
getItem: key => window.localStorage.getItem(key) // has to be a string because stringify is set to true
},
restore: (savedStore) => {
return {
token: savedStore.token
};
}
}
});
`

If you don't care that much about typings, you can also just do:

`ts
syncStorage: window.localStorage as SyncStorage,
`

or

`ts
syncStorage: ReactNativeAsyncStorage as AsyncStorage,
`

Updating the store

You can update the store by doing:

`ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
token: null,
isLoggedIn: false
};

const store = createStore({
initialStore,
persist: {
stringify: true,
syncStorage: {
setItem: (key, value) =>
window.localStorage.setItem(key, value as string),
getItem: key => window.localStorage.getItem(key)
},
restore: (savedStore) => {
return {
token: savedStore.token
};
}
}
});

// somewhere in your code
store.updateStore({
token: userToken,
isLoggedIn: true
});
`

Adding observers

Observers are callback functions that listen to certain changes in your store. Observers will be called AFTER the store has been updated and they will receive the updated store. You can add an observer by doing:

`ts
import { createStore } from ".";

const store = createStore({
initialStore: {
token: null
}
});

store.addObserver(
(store) => {
console.log(store.token);
// do something
},
// states that you want to watch changes for
['token']
);
`

Observers will only be called when the state they are watching changes, in this case, the observer is only watching token, so this observer will only be called when you do store.updateStore({ token }). This prevents unnecessary calls to all observers when other states changes.

Events

You can add, emit, and remove events in your store. You can take advantage of events to do various things in your applications such as updating the store.

$3

`ts
import { createStore } from ".";

const store = createStore({
initialStore: {
token: null
}
});

/**
* Event callbacks receive the:
* payload = passed on emitEvent
* store = the latest value of thes store
* event = the event that was emited, this is useful when using addEvents
*/
const unsubscribeCallback = store.addEvent('test-event', (payload, store, event) => {
console.log(payload, store, event);
// do something
});

// when you want to remove the event listener from the event
unsubscribeCallback();
`

There is also addEvents in case you want an event listener to listen to multiple events.

`ts
const unsubscribeCallback = store.addEvents(
['event1', 'event2', 'event3'],
(payload, store, event) => {
console.log(payload, store, event);
// do something
}
);

// when you want to remove the event listener from the event
unsubscribeCallback();
`

$3

`ts
store.emitEvent(
'event1',
// optional: any value you want to pass to all the event listeners
{ value: 1 }
);
`

$3

`ts
store.emitEvents(
['anEvent', 'anotherEvent'],
// optional: any value you want to pass to all the event listeners
{ value: 1 }
);
`

$3

`ts
store.removeEvent('event1');
`

$3

`ts
store.removeEvents(['anEvent', 'anotherEvent']);
`

Migrating from v5 to v6

The only changes that occured in v6 are the following:

- Used TypeScript for better coding experience.
- Changed architecture to be more self-contained.
- No more -1 returns.

Your code should still work with minimal changes. Here's how you can migrate real quick.

Create a file called globalStore.ts, and add the following code:

`ts
import { createStore } from 'fluxible-js';

const initialStore = {
// ... your store values here
};

export default createStore({
initialStore,
// ... other options
});
`

Now, change all occurences of import { updateStore } from 'fluxible-js'; and other similar imports to import { updateStore } from 'globalStore';`.
