lit-mobx

Mixin and base class that allow easy usage of mobx observables with lit-element.

The mixin implementation is based heavily on the work of Alexander Weiss in his mobx-lit-element implementation. This has been rewritten to support multiple forms of usage (mixin, or base class) as well as to be based on typescript to get type definitions.

Installation

As a dependency:

npm install --save @adobe/lit-mobx lit-element mobx

Demo

npm install
npm run demo

Usage

import { LitElement, html, TemplateResult, customElement } from 'lit-element';
import { observable, action } from 'mobx';
import { MobxLitElement } from '@adobe/lit-mobx';

// create a mobx observable
class Counter {
    @observable
    public count = 0;

    @action
    public increment() {
        this.count++;
    }
}

// create instance that can be shared across components
const counter = new Counter();

// create a new custom element, and use the base MobxLitElement class
// alternatively you can use the MobxReactionUpdate mixin, e.g. `class MyElement extends MobxReactionUpdate(LitElement)`
@customElement('my-element')
export class MyElement extends MobxLitElement {
    private counter = counter

    // any observables accessed in the render method will now trigger an update
    public render(): TemplateResult {
        return html`
            Count is ${this.counter.count}
            <br />
            <button @click=${this.incrementCount}>Add</button>
        `;
    }

    private incrementCount() {
        this.counter.increment();
    }
}
