SPX-DI-REACT

SPX-DI library integration with React

Adds useDI hook and withDI HOC for dependency injection in React components.

Preserves strong typing while matching property types and injected instance types.

Installation

You can install using any NPM package manager:

> npm i @spirex/di @spirex/di-react
> yarn add @spirex/di @spirex/di-react
> pnpm add @spirex/di @spirex/di-react

Integration

1. Create DI Context with Container's TypeMap

The context is created using the createDIContext function. All it needs is to provide the TypeMap of the container, so that the context is aware of the types that can be provided.

Since TypeMap can change as the container is configured, its final version can be obtained using the TypeMapOfContainer tool type, which is included in 'spx-di'.

As a result of createDIContext execution, will return a typed object containing:

• DIContextProvider - The context provider that is used to pass the container through the virtual tree.
• useDI - React-hook, which provides dependencies to functional components;
• withDI - React-HOC, a wrapper that exposes dependencies through component properties.

Don't forget to export them for access from other parts of the application.

export function buildContainer() {
    return DIContainer.builder()
        .build()
} 

type TAppContainerTypeMap = TypeMapOfContainer<ReturnType<typeof buildContainer>>

export const {
    DIContextProvider,
    useDI,
    withDI,
} = createDIContext<TAppContainerTypeMap>()

2. Wrap app component in DIContainer

To allow components to access the container via useDI and withDI, you need to provide it with DIContextProvider.

It requires the container itself to be passed to its property:

import {useMemo} from "react";

const RootComponent = () => {
    const container = useMemo(buildContainer, [])
    return (
        <DIContextProvider container={container}>
            <AppComponent/>
        </DIContextProvider>
    )
}

Getting dependencies by useDI

Using useDI is the easiest way to get dependencies in components. It only requires you to pass a function that will do the getting. necessary dependencies from the container.

import {useMemo} from "react";

const MyComponent = () => {
    const {appManager, accessManager} = useDI(r => ({
        appManager: r.get(Types.AppManager),
        accessManager: r.get(Types.AccessManager),
    }))

    const premium = useMemo(() => accessManager.hasPremium, [])

    return (
        <View>
            {/* .... */}
        </View>
    )
}

Getting dependencies by withDI HOC

Similarly, you can get dependencies by withDI. It takes the same function. But the difference is that the fields of the returned object must match the names of the properties of the component to which the dependencies are provided.

type MyComponentProps = {
    name: string
    appManager: AppManager
    accessManager: AccessManager
}

const MyComponent = ({
    name,
    appManager,
    accessManager,
}: MyComponentProps) => {
    return (
        <View>{name}</View>
    )
}

export default withDI(r => ({
    appManager: AppManager,
    accessManager: AccessManager,
}))(MyComponent)
