useSliceRowIds

The useSliceRowIds hook gets the list of Row Ids in a given Slice, and registers a listener so that any changes to that result will cause a re-render.

useSliceRowIds(
  indexId: string,
  sliceId: string,
  indexesOrIndexesId?: IndexesOrIndexesId,
): Ids
TypeDescription
indexIdstring

The Id of the Index.

sliceIdstring

The Id of the Slice in the Index.

indexesOrIndexesId?IndexesOrIndexesId

The Indexes object to be accessed: omit for the default context Indexes object, provide an Id for a named context Indexes object, or provide an explicit reference.

returnsIds

The Row Ids in the Slice, or an empty array.

A Provider component is used to wrap part of an application in a context, and it can contain a default Indexes object or a set of Indexes objects named by Id. The useSliceRowIds hook lets you indicate which Indexes object to get data for: omit the optional final parameter for the default context Indexes object, provide an Id for a named context Indexes object, or provide an Indexes object explicitly by reference.

When first rendered, this hook will create a listener so that changes to the Row Ids in the Slice will cause a re-render. When the component containing this hook is unmounted, the listener will be automatically removed.

Examples

This example creates an Indexes object outside the application, which is used in the useSliceRowIds hook by reference. A change to the Row Ids in the Slice re-renders the component.

import {createIndexes, createStore} from 'tinybase';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {useSliceRowIds} from 'tinybase/ui-react';

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {
  fido: {species: 'dog'},
  felix: {species: 'cat'},
  cujo: {species: 'dog'},
});
const indexes = createIndexes(store);
indexes.setIndexDefinition('bySpecies', 'pets', 'species');
const App = () => (
  <span>
    {JSON.stringify(useSliceRowIds('bySpecies', 'dog', indexes))}
  </span>
);

const app = document.createElement('div');
createRoot(app).render(<App />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>["fido","cujo"]</span>'

store.setRow('pets', 'toto', {species: 'dog'});
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>["fido","cujo","toto"]</span>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Indexes object is provided. A component within it then uses the useSliceRowIds hook.

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

const App = ({indexes}) => (
  <Provider indexes={indexes}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <span>{JSON.stringify(useSliceRowIds('bySpecies', 'dog'))}</span>
);

const indexes = createIndexes(
  createStore().setTable('pets', {
    fido: {species: 'dog'},
    felix: {species: 'cat'},
    cujo: {species: 'dog'},
  }),
).setIndexDefinition('bySpecies', 'pets', 'species');

const app = document.createElement('div');
createRoot(app).render(<App indexes={indexes} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>["fido","cujo"]</span>'

  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <span>
    {JSON.stringify(useSliceRowIds('bySpecies', 'dog', 'petIndexes'))}
  </span>
);

const indexes = createIndexes(
  createStore().setTable('pets', {
    fido: {species: 'dog'},
    felix: {species: 'cat'},
    cujo: {species: 'dog'},
  }),

console.log(app.innerHTML);
