useCheckpoints

The useCheckpoints hook is used to get a reference to a Checkpoints object from within a Provider component context.

useCheckpoints(id?: string): Checkpoints | undefined
TypeDescription
id?string

An optional Id for accessing a Checkpoints object that was named with an Id in the Provider.

returnsCheckpoints | undefined

A reference to the Checkpoints object (or undefined if not within a Provider context, or if the requested Checkpoints object does not exist).

A Provider component is used to wrap part of an application in a context. It can contain a default Checkpoints object (or a set of Checkpoints objects named by Id) that can be easily accessed without having to be passed down as props through every component.

The useCheckpoints hook lets you either get a reference to the default Checkpoints object (when called without a parameter), or one of the Checkpoints objects that are named by Id (when called with an Id parameter).

Examples

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Checkpoint object is provided. A component within it then uses the useCheckpoints hook to get a reference to the Checkpoints object again, without the need to have it passed as a prop.

import {Provider, useCheckpoints} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import {createCheckpoints, createStore} from 'tinybase';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';

const App = ({checkpoints}) => (
  <Provider checkpoints={checkpoints}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <span>{useCheckpoints().getListenerStats().checkpointIds}</span>
);

const checkpoints = createCheckpoints(createStore());
const app = document.createElement('div');
const root = createRoot(app);
root.render(<App checkpoints={checkpoints} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>0</span>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a Checkpoints object is provided, named by Id. A component within it then uses the useCheckpoints hook with that Id to get a reference to the Checkpoints object again, without the need to have it passed as a prop.

import {Provider, useCheckpoints} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import {createCheckpoints, createStore} from 'tinybase';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';

const App = ({checkpoints}) => (
  <Provider checkpointsById={{petStore: checkpoints}}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <span>
    {useCheckpoints('petStore').getListenerStats().checkpointIds}
  </span>
);

const checkpoints = createCheckpoints(createStore());
const app = document.createElement('div');
const root = createRoot(app);
root.render(<App checkpoints={checkpoints} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>0</span>'
