persistentVariable

description

A simple and efficient way to manage state

The persistentVariable Library is lightweight and provides a simple and efficient way to create and persist data across page refreshes as well as being reactive for use cases such as a shopping cart and user states in svelte

Installation

You can install the persistentVariable library using npm:

npm install easystatemanagersvelte

Usage

Basic Usage

example 1

// Import the persistentVariable library
import persistentVariable from "easystatemanagersvelte";

// store initial value in a variable
const mypersistentVariable = persistentVariable("initial value");

// get the current value
$: console.log($mypersistentVariable); // log whenever value changes

// change value
mypersistentVariable.set("new value");

Example 2

// Import the persistentVariable library
import persistentVariable from "easystatemanagersvelte";

// create the stateful variable with an initial value of an empty array
const myarray = persistentVariable("myarray", []);

// subscribe to the variable and log the value whenever it changes
myarray.subscribe((value) => {
  console.log(value);
});

// add an item to the cart
myarray.update((value) => [...value, "item 1"]);

// add another item to the myarray
myarray.update((value) => [...value, "item 2"]);

example 3

// Import the persistentVariable library
import persistentVariable from "easystatemanagersvelte";

// Create a stateful variable with an initial value
const cart = persistentVariable('cart', []);

// Subscribe to changes in the cart value
const unsubscribe = cart.subscribe((value) => {
  console.log('Cart updated:', value);
});

// Update the cart value
cart.set(['item1', 'item2', 'item3']);

// Access the current value of the cart
console.log('Current cart value:', $cart);

// Unsubscribe from further changes
unsubscribe();

Basic Shopping Cart Example

// Import the persistentVariable library
import persistentVariable from "easystatemanagersvelte";

// Create a stateful variable for the shopping cart
const cart = persistentVariable('cart', []);

// Function to add an item to the cart
function addItem(item) {
  cart.update((currentCart) => {
    // Create a new cart array with the added item
    return [...currentCart, item];
  });
}

// Function to remove an item from the cart
function removeItem(item) {
  cart.update((currentCart) => {
    // Filter out the item from the current cart
    return currentCart.filter((cartItem) => cartItem !== item);
  });
}

// Subscribe to changes in the cart value
const unsubscribe = cart.subscribe((value) => {
  console.log('Cart updated:', value);
});

// Add items to the cart
addItem('item1');
addItem('item2');
addItem('item3');

// Remove an item from the cart
removeItem('item2');

// Access the current value of the cart
console.log('Current cart value:', $cart);

// Unsubscribe from further changes
unsubscribe();
