useEventCallback
import React from 'react'

)
)
return (
// render null
// click button
// render 1000
<>
<h1>{value}</h1>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click me</button>
</>
)
}
With initial value:
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { useEventCallback } from 'rxjs-hooks'
import { mapTo } from 'rxjs/operators'
function App() {
const [clickCallback, value] = useEventCallback((event$: Observable<React.SyntheticEvent<HTMLButtonElement>>) =>
event$.pipe(
mapTo(1000)
),
200,
)
return (
// render 200
// click button
// render 1000
<>
<h1>{value}</h1>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click me</button>
</>
)
}
With state$:
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { useEventCallback } from "rxjs-hooks";
import { map, withLatestFrom } from "rxjs/operators";
function App() {
const [clickCallback, [description, x, y, prevDescription]] = useEventCallback(
(event$, state$) =>
event$.pipe(
withLatestFrom(state$),
map(([event, state]) => [
event.target.innerHTML,
event.clientX,
event.clientY,
state[0],
])
),
["nothing", 0, 0, "nothing"]
);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>
click position: {x}, {y}
</h1>
<h1>"{description}" was clicked.</h1>
<h1>"{prevDescription}" was clicked previously.</h1>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click me</button>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click you</button>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click him</button>
</div>
);
}
A complex example: useEventCallback with both inputs$
and state$
import React, { useState } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { useEventCallback } from "rxjs-hooks";
import { map, withLatestFrom, combineLatest } from "rxjs/operators";
import "./styles.css";
function App() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const [clickCallback, [description, x, y, prevDesc]] = useEventCallback(
(event$, state$, inputs$) =>
event$.pipe(
map(event => [event.target.innerHTML, event.clientX, event.clientY]),
combineLatest(inputs$),
withLatestFrom(state$),
map(([eventAndInput, state]) => {
const [[text, x, y], [count]] = eventAndInput;
const prevDescription = state[0];
return [text, x + count, y + count, prevDescription];
})
),
["nothing", 0, 0, "nothing"],
[count]
);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>
click position: {x}, {y}
</h1>
<h1>"{description}" was clicked.</h1>
<h1>"{prevDesc}" was clicked previously.</h1>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click me</button>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click you</button>
<button onClick={clickCallback}>click him</button>
<div>
<p>
click buttons above, and then click this `+++` button, the position
numbers will grow.
</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>+++</button>
</div>
</div>
);
}
Example of combining callback observables coming from separate elements - animation with start/stop button and rate controllable via slider
const Animation = ({ frame }) => {
const frames = "|/-\\|/-\\|".split("");
return (
<div>
<p>{frames[frame % frames.length]}</p>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => {
const defaultRate = 5;
const [running, setRunning] = useState(false);
const [onEvent, frame] = useEventCallback(events$ => {
const running$ = events$.pipe(
filter(e => e.type === "click"),
scan(running => !running, running),
startWith(running),
tap(setRunning)
);
return events$.pipe(
filter(e => e.type === "change"),
map(e => parseInt(e.target.value, 10)),
startWith(defaultRate),
switchMap(i => timer(200, 1000 / i)),
withLatestFrom(running$),
filter(([_, running]) => running),
scan(frame => frame + 1, 0)
);
});
return (
<div className="App">
<button onClick={onEvent}>{running ? "Stop" : "Start"}</button>
<input
type="range"
onChange={onEvent}
defaultValue={defaultRate}
min="1"
max="10"
></input>
<Animation frame={frame} />
</div>
);
};
