@dotdo/react

React bindings for dotdo Durable Objects with real-time data synchronization.

Installation

npm install @dotdo/react @dotdo/client
# or
pnpm add @dotdo/react @dotdo/client

Peer dependencies: react >=18.0.0, zod >=3.0.0 (optional, for schema validation)

Quick Start

Wrap your app with the DO provider and use hooks to access real-time data:

import { DOProvider, useCollection } from '@dotdo/react'

function App() {
  return (
    <DOProvider url="wss://api.example.com.ai/ws">
      <TaskList />
    </DOProvider>
  )
}

function TaskList() {
  const { data: tasks, create, update } = useCollection('tasks')

  return (
    <ul>
      {tasks.map(task => (
        <li key={task.id} onClick={() => update(task.id, { done: !task.done })}>
          {task.title}
        </li>
      ))}
      <button onClick={() => create({ title: 'New task', done: false })}>
        Add Task
      </button>
    </ul>
  )
}
