ObState

Generic object state management with events

Simple state manager that uses objects to store and track state. Manage the object normally as it additionally provides events to listen to state changes.

ObState uses Proxys to handle state changes, and then emits events using a standard EventEmitter interface.

Usage

Import the createStateObject method and use it to wrap an object (a new object is returned, the old is not mutated):

import { createStateObject } from "obstate";

const state = createStateObject({
    name: "Jane Doe",
    age: 24
});

state.on(
    "before",
    ({ property, newValue, currentValue }) =>
        console.log(`Will update '${property}': ${currentValue} => ${newValue}`)
);
state.on(
    "update",
    ({ property, newValue, oldValue }) =>
        console.log(`Did update '${property}':  ${oldValue} => ${newValue}`)
);

Object.assign(state, {
    name: "John Doe",
    age: 22
});

The example above would output:

Will update 'name': Jane Doe => John Doe
Did update 'name':  Jane Doe => John Doe
Will update 'age': 24 => 22
Did update 'age':  24 => 22
