#RxReact
#Installation
Install this module with npm:
npm install rx-react
#Usage:
RxReact provides a set of utilities to work with RxJS and React :
- The
StateStreamMixin
- The
LifecycleMixin
- The
PropsMixin
- The
RxReact.Component
base class - The
FuncSubject
helper
##StateStreamMixin
The StateStreamMixin
allows to bind a component state to an RxJS Observable
stream.
The way to achieve the binding is to provide a getStateStream
method on your component that returns an RxJS Observable
, the StateStream
mixin will automatically merge the state of your component with the values published by the returned observable. The subscription will be automaticly cleaned on component unmount.
Example:
var StateStreamMixin = require('rx-react').StateStreamMixin;
var React = require('react');
var Rx = require('rx');
var Timer = React.createClass({
mixins: [StateStreamMixin],
getStateStream: function () {
return Rx.Observable.interval(1000).map(function (interval) {
return {
secondsElapsed: interval
};
});
},
render: function () {
var secondsElapsed = this.state ? this.state.secondsElapsed : 0;
return (
<div>Seconds Elapsed: {secondsElapsed}</div>
);
}
});
React.render(<Timer />, document.getElementById('timer-holder'));
##LifecycleMixin
The LifecycleMixin
allows you to consume React components lifecycle events as RxJS Observable
.
The LifecycleMixin
will inject a property lifecycle
to the component, that property contains an observable for each lifecycle events.
Example :
var LifecycleMixin = require('rx-react').LifecycleMixin;
var React = require('react');
var Rx = require('rx');
var Component = React.createClass({
mixins: [LifecycleMixin],
componentWillMount: function () {
this.lifecycle.componentDidMount.subscribe(function () {
console.log('componentDidMount');
});
this.lifecycle.componentWillReceiveProps.subscribe(function (props) {
console.log('componentWillReceiveProps : ' JSON.stringify(props));
});
this.lifecycle.componentWillUpdate.subscribe(function ({nextProps, nextState}) {
console.log('componentWillUpdate : ' JSON.stringify({nextProps, nextState}));
});
this.lifecycle.componentDidUpdate.subscribe(function ({prevProps, prevState}) {
console.log('componentDidUpdate : ' JSON.stringify({prevProps, prevState}));
});
this.lifecycle.componentWillUnmount.subscribe(function () {
console.log('componentWillUnmount');
});
},
render: function() {
//...
}
});
##PropsMixin
The PropsMixin
allows to obtain a stream of props as RxJS Observable
for your component.
Example :
var PropsMixin = require('rx-react').PropsMixin;
var React = require('react');
var Component = React.createClass({
mixins: [PropsMixin],
componentWillMount: function () {
this.propsStream.subscribe(function (props) {
console.log(props.message);
}
},
render: function() {
//...
}
});
var comp = React.render(<Component message='Hello World!' />, domNode); // log 'Hello World!'
comp.setProps({message: 'Hello John'}); // log 'Hello John'
This is particulary useful in combination with the StateStreamMixin
when your component states depends on Props.
##Component
The RxReact.Component
is a base class combining the behavior of all the mixin described above.
It extends React.Component
.
Example:
var RxReact = require('rx-react');
var Rx = require('rx');
class MyComponent extends RxReact.Component {
getStateStream() {
return Rx.Observable.interval(1000).map(function (interval) {
return {
secondsElapsed: interval
};
});
}
render() {
var secondsElapsed = this.state? this.state.secondsElapsed : 0;
return (
<div>Seconds Elapsed: {secondsElapsed}</div>
);
}
}
Note that the getStateStream
function is mandatory, and that when you extend lifecycle methods,
You must call the super
method.
##FuncSubject
The FuncSubject
helper allows to create an RxJS Observable
that can be injected as callback for React event handlers, refs, etc...
To create an handler use the create
function of FuncSubject
var myHandler = FuncSubject.create()
Example:
var FuncSubject = require('rx-react').FuncSubject;
var React = require('react');
var Rx = require('rx');
var Button = React.createClass({
componentWillMount: function () {
this.buttonClicked = FuncSubject.create();
this.buttonClicked.subscribe(function (event) {
alert('button clicked');
})
},
render: function() {
return <button onClick={this.buttonClicked} />
}
});
