useSynchronizerStatusListener

The useSynchronizerStatusListener hook registers a listener function with the Synchronizer that will be called when its status changes.

useSynchronizerStatusListener(
  listener: StatusListener<MergeableStoreOnly>,
  listenerDeps?: DependencyList,
  synchronizerOrSynchronizerId?: SynchronizerOrSynchronizerId,
): void
TypeDescription
listenerStatusListener<MergeableStoreOnly>

The function that will be called whenever the status of the Synchronizer changes.

listenerDeps?DependencyList

An optional array of dependencies for the listener function, which, if any change, result in the re-registration of the listener. This parameter defaults to an empty array.

synchronizerOrSynchronizerId?SynchronizerOrSynchronizerId

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

returnsvoid

This has no return value.

This hook is useful for situations where a component needs to register its own specific listener to do more than simply tracking the value (which is more easily done with the useSynchronizerStatus hook).

Unlike the addStatusListener method, which returns a listener Id and requires you to remove it manually, the useSynchronizerStatusListener hook manages this lifecycle for you: when the listener changes (per its listenerDeps dependencies) or the component unmounts, the listener on the underlying Synchronizer will be deleted.

Example

This example uses the useSynchronizerStatusListener hook to create a listener that is scoped to a single component. When the component is unmounted, the listener is removed from the Synchronizer.

import {Provider, useSynchronizerStatusListener} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import React from 'react';
import {createLocalSynchronizer} from 'tinybase/synchronizers/synchronizer-local';
import {createMergeableStore} from 'tinybase';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';

const App = ({synchronizer}) => (
  <Provider synchronizer={synchronizer}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => {
  useSynchronizerStatusListener((synchronizer, status) =>
    console.log('Synchronizer status changed: ' + status),
  );
  return <span>App</span>;
};

const synchronizer = createLocalSynchronizer(createMergeableStore());
const app = document.createElement('div');
const root = createRoot(app);
root.render(<App synchronizer={synchronizer} />);

synchronizer.load();
// -> 'Synchronizer status changed: 1'
// ...
// -> 'Synchronizer status changed: 0'

synchronizer.save();
// -> 'Synchronizer status changed: 2'
// ...
// -> 'Synchronizer status changed: 0'
