Reatom

persist-web-storage

@reatom/persist adapter for the Web Storage APIs.

Installation

#
Terminal window
npm i @reatom/persist-web-storage

Usage

#

withLocalStorage

#

Synchronizes atom state to the localStorage with a given name

import { atom } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withLocalStorage } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const tokenAtom = atom('', 'tokenAtom').pipe(withLocalStorage('token'))

withSesssionStorage

#

Synchronizes atom state to the sessionsStorage with a given name

import { atom } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withSessionStorage } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const tokenAtom = atom('', 'tokenAtom').pipe(withSessionStorage('token'))

withBroadcastChannel

#

The main goal of this adapter is to synchronize atom between tabs without polluting localStorage

import { atom } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withBroadcastChannel } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const isAuthedAtom = atom('', 'isAuthedAtom').pipe(
  withBroadcastChannel()('isAuthedAtom'),
)

You can also give an instance of BroadcastChannel

import { atom } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withBroadcastChannel } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


const channel = new BroadcastChannel('isAuthed')


channel.onmessage((event) => {
  console.log(event)
  // Do some work here
  // ...
})


export const isAuthedAtom = atom('', 'isAuthedAtom').pipe(
  withBroadcastChannel({ key: 'isAuthedAtom', channel }),
)

withIndexedDb

#

IMPORTANT: The state currently flicks (goes from null to actual value) on the first page load (due to asynchronous nature of IndexedDB and current synchronous architecture of @reatom/persist)

The main goal of this adapter is to persist atom’s state to IndexedDB. withIndexedDb does not currently support rich IndexedDB features such as indexing, transactions and migrations. It uses IndexedDB as a key-value storage, which is preferable over localStorage for large data (over a couple of megabytes).

import { reatomResource, withCache } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withIndexedDb } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const listResource = reatomResource(
  async (ctx) => api.getList(ctx.spy(pageAtom)),
  'listResource',
).pipe(withCache({ withPersist: withIndexedDb }))

You can also specify a custom database name and a custom `BroadcastChannel’ that will be used to synchronize the data in real time.

import { reatomResource, withCache } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withIndexedDb } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const listResource = reatomResource(
  async (ctx) => api.getList(ctx.spy(pageAtom)),
  'listResource',
).pipe(withIndexedDb({ key: 'hugeListAtom', dbName: 'myCustomDb', channel }))

If you want to avoid flickering, all you have to do is add a small delay after the atom is connected. Subscribe / spy the data atom, wait the ready atom and then use the actual data.

example↗

import { reatomResource, withCache, onConnect, sleep } from '@reatom/framework'
import { withIndexedDb } from '@reatom/persist-web-storage'


export const listResource = reatomResource(
  async (ctx) => api.getList(ctx.spy(pageAtom)),
  'listResource',
).pipe(withIndexedDb({ key: 'hugeListAtom', dbName: 'myCustomDb', channel }))
const isListReadyAtom = atom(false, 'isListReadyAtom')
onConnect(listResource, async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.schedule(() => new Promise((r) => requestIdleCallback(r)))
  isListReadyAtom(ctx, true)
  return () => isListReadyAtom(ctx, false)
})
