Gets, sets, and syncs state from the URL hash and an internal dictionary. Calls your callback when it changes.
This is a way of keeping as much of your app state in the URL hash as possible, while keeping your app in sync with it and the other way around.
This is an ES modules version of route-state.
npm install @jimkang/url-store
import { URLStore } from 'url-store';
var urlStore = URLStore({
onUpdate,
defaults: {
flying: true
},
windowObject: window
});
wireGetAudioUI({useURI: addTrackURIToRoute});
urlStore.update();
function addTrackURIToRoute(uri) {
urlStore.update({trackURI: uri});
}
function onUpdate(state, ephemeralState) {
if (state.remix && state.trackURI) {
runRandomClipFlow(state.trackURI);
}
else if (state.trackURI) {
runSampleFlow(state.trackURI);
}
if (ephemeralState.buffer) {
// Play buffer or something
}
}
The updateEphemeral method is like update except it does not update (or draw from) the hash. It's ideal for storing too-large things like buffers.
You can pass an array in boolKeys in the constructor to have it convert properties with values like 'yes' or 'no' to boolean true and false when parsing from the hash and converting true and false in the in-memory state to 'yes and 'no' when writing back to the hash.
You can do the same with jsonKeys to have it parse/stringify key values as JSON. (The value will look really ugly in the hash, though.)
There is also a moveSearchToHash that'll take things from the search string in the URL (the part after the ?) and put it in the hash (after the #).
You can set the state with nested objects, but it's not advised because the verboseness of nested object hash serialization. (There are alternatives to that, but they're also ugly.)
Run tests with make test.
