ScopedAtom.ts

React helpers for creating Atom instances that belong to one component subtree. make returns a scoped atom with a provider, context, and use accessor. Each provider creates its own Atom once, so different subtrees can use the same scoped atom definition without sharing state.

Since v4.0.0



Creates a ScopedAtom from a factory function.

When to use

Use to create an atom instance that is owned by a React provider and scoped to a component subtree.

Details

The returned scoped atom includes a Provider, Context, and use accessor. The provider creates the atom once for its lifetime, passing the value prop to the factory when the scoped atom expects input.

Gotchas

use must run under the matching provider. Changing the provider value prop after mount does not recreate the atom.

Example (Creating a scoped atom with input)

import { make, useAtomValue } from "@effect/atom-react"
import { Atom } from "effect/unstable/reactivity"
import * as React from "react"
const User = make((name: string) => Atom.make(name))
function UserName() {
const atom = User.use()
const value = useAtomValue(atom)
return React.createElement("span", null, value)
}
export function App() {
return React.createElement(User.Provider, { value: "Ada" }, React.createElement(UserName))
}

Signature

declare const make: <A extends Atom.Atom<any>, Input = never>(
f: (() => A) | ((input: Input) => A)
) => ScopedAtom<A, Input>

Source

Since v4.0.0

Scoped Atom interface with a provider-backed instance.

Example (Providing and reading a scoped atom)

import { make, useAtomValue } from "@effect/atom-react"
import { Atom } from "effect/unstable/reactivity"
import * as React from "react"
const Counter = make(() => Atom.make(0))
function View() {
const atom = Counter.use()
const value = useAtomValue(atom)
return React.createElement("div", null, value)
}
export function App() {
return React.createElement(Counter.Provider, null, React.createElement(View))
}

Signature

export interface ScopedAtom<A extends Atom.Atom<any>, Input = never> {
readonly [TypeId]: TypeId
use(): A
Provider: [Input] extends [never]
? React.FC<{ readonly children?: React.ReactNode | undefined }>
: React.FC<{ readonly children?: React.ReactNode | undefined; readonly value: Input }>
Context: React.Context<A>
}
