elx

Install

$ npm install --save elx

Usage

import {elx} from 'elx'

// a counter in 4 lines
elx('button', 0)
  .fromDOMEvent('click', 1)
  .reduce((state, received) => state + received)
  .subscribe((el, state) => el.textContent = state)

Concepts

Initial State

Every element has its initial state.

// for the counter example
const initialState = 0
const source = elx('button', initialState)

Handler for events

Notify your element with some data, of course it does not know how to handle the data for now.

source.fromDOMEvent('click', 1)

Sure the event handler can be a function or even a Promise that resolves the data.

source.fromDOMEvent('click', () => {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => {
    resolve(1)
  }, 1000))
})

Handler for actions

Abosolutely you can use custom actions, because you need cross-element communications!

source.fromAction('INCREMENT', 1)

If you are using custom action, you can use source.dispatch(ACTION) to trigger that action! Action names are all caps.

Reducer

Tell your element how to get the new state after received data from event hander.

// since it's just a counter
// we simply add the received data in event handler
// to the currentState 
const reducer = (currentState, received) => currentState + received
source.reduce(reducer)

Subscribe

Trigger when element's state got changed.

source.subscribe((el, newState) => {
  el.textContent = newState
})
