diddi

Just another juicy state manager lib for your js apps.

Heavily inspired by redux obviously.

🎉 Features

Add your library features here.

• Always async
• Domain based
• Dead simple API
• No more dispatch, thunks and other stuff, just plain functions and objects
• Middlewares
• This lib really loves TypeScript
• You can control actions flow using only async/await and Promise.all*

⚙ Install

# npm
npm i diddi

# yarn
yarn add diddi

🔍 Usage

Basic state management

// ./state/index.ts
import { create } from 'diddi';
import mydomain from './mydomain';

export const state = create({
  mydomain,
});

// ./state/mydomain/index.ts
import { domain } from 'diddi';

interface IState {
  value: number;
}

function initialstate(): IState {
  return {
    value: 0,
  };
}

function actions() {
  return {
    decrement,
    increment,
    set,
    setAsync,
  }
}

function decrement(state: IState) {
  return {
    value: state.value - 1,
  }
}

function increment(state: IState) {
  return {
    value: state.value + 1,
  }
}

function set(state: IState, value: number) {
  return { value };
}

async function setAsync(state: IState, value: number) {
  // becase reasons
  return new Promise(resolve =>
    setTimeout(
      () => resolve({ value }),
      100
    )
  );
}

export default domain(initialstate, actions);;

// ./app.ts
import { state } from './state';

const { get, actions } = state;

await actions.mydomain.set(10)
await actions.mydomain.decrement()
await actions.mydomain.decrement()
await actions.mydomain.increment()
get() // { mydomain: { value: 9 } }

Composing multiple actions

Since an action is a function, you can compose them as you want.

import { domain } from 'diddi';
import * as api from './api';

interface IState {
  content: string;
  title: string;
  wordcount: number;
}

function actions() {
  return {
    load,
    setWordCount,
  }
}

function initialstate() {
  return {
    content: '',
    title: '',
    wordcount: 0,
  };
}

const myblogpost = domain(initialstate, actions);

async function load(state: IState) {
  const newstate = await api.load();
  return setWordCount({... state, ...newstate});
}

function setWordCount(state: IState) {
  return {
    ... state,
    wordcount: state.content.match(/\S+/g),
  }
}

Actions flow

You could sometimes have a particular scenario where you want some actions to be run in parallels or in waterfall.

To control actions flow, you have to simply create a new function which will await single actions

very important for parallel actions

Parallel actions could lead to wrong state merging. To prevent this behaviour, you will have to merge domain's state by excluding properties which will be updated in parallel

example

// state/index.ts
import { create, domain } from 'diddi';

interface IState {
  userscount: number;
  rolescount: number;
  loading: boolean;
  users: IUser[];
  roles: IRole[];
}

function initialstate(): IState {
  return {
    loading: false,
    roles: [],
    rolescount: 0,
    users: [],
    userscount: 0,
  };
}

function actions() {
  return {
    loadroles,
    loadusers,
    setloading,
  }
}

async function loadusers(state: IState) {
  const users = await api.loadusers();
  const userscount = users.length;
  // done this in order to avoid overriding of roles and rolescount
  const { loading } = state;

  return {
    loading,
    users,
    userscount,
  };
}

async function loadroles(state: IState) {
  const roles = await api.loadroles();
  const rolescount = roles.length;
  // done this in order to avoid overriding of users and userscount
  const { loading } = state;

  return {
    loading,
    roles,
    rolescount,
  };
}

function setloading(state: IState, loading: boolean) {
  return {
    ... state,
    loading,
  };
}

const mydomain = domain(initialstate, actions);

export default create({ mydomain });

// ./otherfile.ts
import state from './state';

export async function loadseries() {
  const { mydomain } = state.actions;
  await mydomain.setloading(true);
  await mydomain.loadusers();
  await mydomain.loadroles();
  await mydomain.setloading(false);
}

export async function loadparallel() {
  const { mydomain } = state.actions;
  await mydomain.setloading(true);
  Promise.all([ mydomain.loadusers(), mydomain.loadroles() ]);
  await mydomain.setloading(false);
}

Creating middlewares

import { build, MiddlewareFn } from 'diddi';
import mydomain from './mydomain';

function logger(): MiddlewareFn {
  return message => {
    const {
      action,
      domain,
      state,
    } = message;
    
    console.log(
      `[${domain}][${action}]`,
      'previous', state.prev,
      'next', state.next,
    );
  
    return nextstate;
  }
}

const state = build({ mydomain }, logger);

state.actions.mydomain.set(10) // logs: [update][mydomain][set] previous { value: 0 } next { value: 10 }

Developing

Predefined scripts:

• changelog: creates a changelog (using standard-changelog)
• docs: creates docs from your jsdocs
• lint: lints your code
• prepublishOnly: builds your sources for deployment (to npm)
• size-limit: checks your bundle size limit
• test: run tests
• upgrade-interactive: updgrades your dependencies interactively (like with yarn)

📖 Docs

create

The create function simply creates a new state.

It accepts one parameter which is an object of key/value pairs, where keys are domain names and values are domains

A created state, returns an object with one property and two functions:

• actions, which are the subscribed actions, organized by domain
• get, returns current state
• subscribe, subscribes a function to state changes. Every state change will trigger it, telling the subscribed function which domain did update and giving it the new state

const state = create({ mydomain });

state.subscribe(message => console.log(message.domain, message.state));

state.actions.mydomain.set(10) // logs: 'mydomain', { value: 10 }

domain

To create domain use it's related function.

This function accepts two functions, one which returns the initial domain state and the other which returns an object containing actions

import { domain } from 'diddi';

// domain's state interface
interface IDomainState { }

function initialstate(): IDomainState {
  return { }
}

function actions() {
  return { }
}

export default domain(initialstate, actions);
