React.Basic.Hooks

Package

Repository

This is an experimental implementation of React hooks on react-basic.

Warning: This API is experimental and relies on alpha-release React versions. It's here to allow experimentation while we get feedback on the API and wait for an official React release which supports hooks. For more info on hooks, see React's documentation.

It's also recommended while using this module to use PureScript's new "qualified do" syntax (it's used in the examples, React.do). It's available in the 0.12.2 release.

If we prefer this API over the existing react-basic API, we may eventually replace it with this.

A note on Refs: The Ref type is useful for passing to DOM nodes, but while this module remains a small extension to the existing react-basic library it won't be possible to pass a ref prop to the native DOM components. In the meantime, use element (unsafeCreateDOMComponent "div") { ref: elementRef }.

#CreateComponent Source

type CreateComponent props = Effect (ReactComponent props)

Alias for convenience. Creating components is effectful because React uses the function instance as the component's "identity" or "type".

#component Source

component :: forall props hooks. String -> (props -> Render Unit hooks JSX) -> CreateComponent props

Create a React component given a display name and render function.

#memo Source

memo :: forall props. CreateComponent props -> CreateComponent props

#UseState Source

data UseState :: Type -> Type -> Type

#useState Source

useState :: forall state. state -> Hook (UseState state) (Tuple state ((state -> state) -> Effect Unit))

#UseEffect Source

data UseEffect :: Type -> Type

#UseLayoutEffect Source

#UseReducer Source

data UseReducer :: Type -> Type -> Type -> Type

#useReducer Source

useReducer :: forall action state. ToKey state => state -> (state -> action -> state) -> Hook (UseReducer state action) (Tuple state (action -> Effect Unit))

#UseRef Source

data UseRef :: Type -> Type -> Type

#Ref Source

data Ref :: Type -> Type

#readRef Source

readRef :: forall a. Ref a -> Effect a

#readRefMaybe Source

readRefMaybe :: forall a. Ref (Nullable a) -> Effect (Maybe a)

#writeRef Source

writeRef :: forall a. Ref a -> a -> Effect Unit

#renderRef Source

renderRef :: forall a. Ref a -> Pure a

#renderRefMaybe Source

renderRefMaybe :: forall a. Ref (Nullable a) -> Pure (Maybe a)

#useRef Source

useRef :: forall a. a -> Hook (UseRef a) (Ref a)

#UseContext Source

data UseContext :: Type -> Type -> Type

#Context Source

data Context :: Type -> Type

#useContext Source

useContext :: forall a. Context a -> Hook (UseContext a) (Maybe a)

#createContext Source

createContext :: forall a. a -> Effect (Context a)

#contextProvider Source

contextProvider :: forall a. Context a -> a -> JSX -> JSX

#UseMemo Source

data UseMemo :: Type -> Type -> Type

#useMemo Source

useMemo :: forall a. Array Key -> (Unit -> a) -> Hook (UseMemo a) a

#Key Source

data Key

Keys represent values React uses to check for changes. This is done using JavaScript's reference equality (===), so complicated types may want to implement ToKey so that it returns a primative like a String. A timestamp appended to a unique ID, for example. Less strict cases can implement ToKey using unsafeToKey, while some extreme cases may need a hashing or stringifying mechanism.

#unsafeToKey Source

unsafeToKey :: forall a. a -> Key

#Render Source

newtype Render x y a

Render represents the effects allowed within a React component's body, i.e. during "render". This includes hooks and ends with returning JSX (see pure), but does not allow arbitrary side effects.

Instances

#Pure Source

type Pure a = forall hooks. Render hooks hooks a

#Hook Source

type Hook (newHook :: Type -> Type) a = forall hooks. Render hooks (newHook hooks) a

#bind Source

bind :: forall m z y x b a. IxBind m => m x y a -> (a -> m y z b) -> m x z b

#discard Source

discard :: forall m z y x b a. IxBind m => m x y a -> (a -> m y z b) -> m x z b

#pure Source

pure :: forall m x a. IxApplicative m => a -> m x x a

#displayName Source

displayName :: forall props. ReactComponent props -> String

Retrieve the Display Name from a ReactComponent. Useful for debugging and improving error messages in logs.

Re-exports from Data.Tuple

#Tuple Source

data Tuple a b

A simple product type for wrapping a pair of component values.

Constructors

Instances

Re-exports from Data.Tuple.Nested

#tuple2 Source

tuple2 :: forall b a. a -> b -> Tuple2 a b

Given 2 values, creates a 2-tuple.

#(/\) Source

Operator alias for Data.Tuple.Tuple (right-associative / precedence 6)

Shorthand for constructing n-tuples as nested pairs. a /\ b /\ c /\ d /\ unit becomes Tuple a (Tuple b (Tuple c (Tuple d unit)))

Re-exports from React.Basic

#ReactComponent Source

data ReactComponent :: Type -> Type

Represents a traditional React component. Useful for JavaScript interop and FFI. For example:

foreign import ComponentRequiringJSHacks :: ReactComponent { someProp :: String }

See also: element, toReactComponent

#JSX Source

data JSX :: Type

Represents rendered React VDOM (the result of calling React.createElement in JavaScript).

JSX is a Monoid:

  • append
    • Merge two JSX nodes using React.Fragment.
  • mempty
    • The empty node; renders nothing.

Hint: Many useful utility functions already exist for Monoids. For example, guard can be used to conditionally render a subtree of components.

Instances

#keyed Source

keyed :: String -> JSX -> JSX

Apply a React key to a subtree. React-Basic usually hides React's warning about using key props on components in an Array, but keys are still important for any dynamic lists of child components.

See also: React's documentation regarding the special key prop

#fragment Source

fragment :: Array JSX -> JSX

Render an Array of children without a wrapping component.

See also: JSX

#empty Source

empty :: JSX

An empty JSX node. This is often useful when you would like to conditionally show something, but you don't want to (or can't) modify the children prop on the parent node.

See also: JSX, Monoid guard

#elementKeyed Source

elementKeyed :: forall props. ReactComponent (Record props) -> { key :: String | props } -> JSX

Create a JSX node from a ReactComponent, by providing the props and a key.

This function is for non-React-Basic React components, such as those imported from FFI.

See also: ReactComponent, element, React's documentation regarding the special key prop

#element Source

element :: forall props. ReactComponent (Record props) -> Record props -> JSX

Create a JSX node from a ReactComponent, by providing the props.

This function is for non-React-Basic React components, such as those imported from FFI.
