Simple xstream binding for Vue.js. It also supports subscriptions for generic observables that implement the .addListener
and .removeListener
interface. For example, you can use it to subscribe to most.js
or Falcor streams, but some features require xstream to work.
npm install vue vue-xs xstream --save
import Vue from 'vue'
import xstream from 'xstream'
import VueXS from 'vue-xs'
import fromEvent from 'xstream/extra/fromEvent'
// tada!
Vue.use(VueXS, {
Stream: xstream,
fromEvent: fromEvent
})
// provide XStream streams with the `subscriptions` option
new Vue({
el: '#app',
subscriptions: {
msg: messageStream
}
})
<!-- bind to it normally in templates -->
<div>{{ msg }}</div>
The subscriptions
options can also take a function so that you can return unique streams for each component instance:
Vue.component('foo', {
subscriptions: function () {
return {
msg: xstream.create(...)
}
}
})
The streams are exposed as vm.$streams
:
var vm = new Vue({
subscriptions: {
msg: messageStream
}
})
vm.$streams.msg.addListener({
next: msg => console.log(msg)
})
This feature requires XStream fromEvent.
vue-xs
provides the v-stream
directive which allows you to stream DOM events to a Stream. The syntax is similar to v-on
where the directive argument is the event name, and the binding value is the target Stream.
<button v-stream:click="plus$">+</button>
Note that you need to declare plus$
as an instance of xstream
on the vm instance before the render happens, just like you need to declare data. You can do that right in the subscriptions
function:
new Vue({
subscriptions () {
// declare the receiving Subjects
this.plus$ = xstream.create()
// ...then create subscriptions using the Subjects as source stream.
// the source stream emits in the form of { event: HTMLEvent, data?: any }
return {
count: this.plus$.map(() => 1)
.fold((total, change) => total + change, 0)
}
}
})
Or, use the domStreams
convenience option:
new Vue({
domStreams: ['plus$'],
subscriptions () {
// use this.plus$
}
})
Finally, you can pass additional data to the stream using the alternative syntax:
<button v-stream:click="{ stream: plus$, data: someData }">+</button>
This is useful when you need to pass along temporary variables like v-for
iterators. You can get the data by simply plucking it from the source stream:
const plusData$ = this.plus$.map(({data}) => data)
you can also pass along extra options (passed along to native addEventListener
as the 3rd argument):
<button v-stream:click="{
stream: plus$,
data: someData,
options: { once: true, passive: true, capture: true }
}">+</button>
See example for actual usage.
This feature requires XStream fromEvent.
This is a prototype method added to instances. You can use it to create an stream from a value watcher. The emitted value is in the format of { newValue, oldValue }
:
var vm = new Vue({
data: {
a: 1
},
subscriptions () {
// declaratively map to another property with Rx operators
return {
aPlusOne: this.$watchAsStream('a')
.map(({newValue}) => newValue)
.map(a => a + 1)
}
}
})
// or produce side effects...
vm.$watchAsStream('a')
.addListener({
next: ({ newValue, oldValue }) => console.log('stream value', newValue, oldValue),
error: err => console.error(err),
complete: () => console.log('complete')
})
The optional options
object accepts the same options as vm.$watch
.
This feature requires XStream fromEvent.
Convert vue.$on (including lifecycle events) to Streams. The emitted value is in the format of { name, msg }
:
var vm = new Vue({
created () {
this.$eventToStream('customEvent')
.addListener({
next: (event) => console.log(event.name,event.msg)
})
}
})
// vm.$once vue-xs version
this.$eventToStream('customEvent')
.take(1)
// Another way to auto unsub:
let beforeDestroy$ = this.$eventToStream('hook:beforeDestroy').take(1)
xstream.periodic(500)
.takeUntil(beforeDestroy$)
This is a prototype method added to instances. You can use it to subscribe to an stream, but let VueRx manage the unsubscribe(removeListener).
var vm = new Vue({
mounted () {
this.$addListenerTo(xstream.periodic(1000), {
next: function (count) {
console.log(count)
}
})
}
})
This feature requires XStream fromEvent.
This is a prototype method added to instances. Use it to create an stream from DOM events within the instances' element. This is similar to XStream fromEvent
, but usable inside the subscriptions
function even before the DOM is actually rendered.
selector
is for finding descendant nodes under the component root element, if you want to listen to events from root element itself, pass null
as first argument.
var vm = new Vue({
subscriptions () {
return {
inputValue: this.$fromDOMEvent('input', 'keyup').map(({target}) => target && target.value)
}
}
})
This feature requires XStream fromEvent.
Convert function calls to stream sequence which emits the call arguments.
This is a prototype method added to instances. Use it to create a stream from a function name. The function will be assigned as a vm method.
<custom-form :onSubmit="submitHandler"></custom-form>
var vm = new Vue({
subscriptions () {
return {
// requires `share` operator
formData: this.$createStreamMethod('submitHandler')
}
}
})
You can use the streamMethods
option to make it more declarative:
new Vue({
streamMethods: {
submitHandler:'submitHandler$'
// or with Array shothand: ['submitHandler']
}
})
The above will automatically create two things on the instance:
- A
submitHandler
method which can be bound to in template withv-on
; - A
submitHandler$
stream which will be the stream emitting calls tosubmitHandler
.
You cannot use the watch
option to watch subscriptions, because it is processed before the subscriptions are set up. But you can use $watch
in the created
hook instead.
