MetricView

The MetricView component renders the current value of a Metric, and registers a listener so that any changes to that result will cause a re-render.

MetricView(props: MetricProps): ComponentReturnType
TypeDescription
propsMetricProps

The props for this component.

returnsComponentReturnType

A rendering of the Metric, or nothing, if not present.

The component's props can identify which Metrics object to get data for: omit the optional final parameter for the default context Metrics object, provide an Id for a named context Metrics object, or by explicit reference.

This component uses the useMetric hook under the covers, which means that any changes to the Metric will cause a re-render.

Examples

This example creates a Metrics object outside the application, which is used in the MetricView component hook by reference. A change to the Metric re-renders the component.

const store = createStore().setTable('species', {
  dog: {price: 5},
  cat: {price: 4},
  worm: {price: 1},
});
const metrics = createMetrics(store);
metrics.setMetricDefinition('highestPrice', 'species', 'max', 'price');
const App = () => (
  <div>
    <MetricView metricId="highestPrice" metrics={metrics} />
  </div>
);

const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>5</div>'

store.setCell('species', 'horse', 'price', 20);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>20</div>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Metrics object is provided. The MetricView component within it then renders the Metric (with its Id for readability).

const App = ({metrics}) => (
  <Provider metrics={metrics}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <div>
    <MetricView metricId="highestPrice" debugIds={true} />
  </div>
);

const store = createStore().setTable('species', {
  dog: {price: 5},
  cat: {price: 4},
  worm: {price: 1},
});
const metrics = createMetrics(store);
metrics.setMetricDefinition('highestPrice', 'species', 'max', 'price');

const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App metrics={metrics} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>highestPrice:{5}</div>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Metrics object is provided. The MetricView component within it then attempts to render a non-existent Metric.

const App = ({metrics}) => (
  <Provider metrics={metrics}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <div>
    <MetricView metricId="lowestPrice" />
  </div>
);

const store = createStore().setTable('species', {
  dog: {price: 5},
  cat: {price: 4},
  worm: {price: 1},
});
const metrics = createMetrics(store);
metrics.setMetricDefinition('highestPrice', 'species', 'max', 'price');

const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App metrics={metrics} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div></div>'
