Imagine you are making short-polling requests to an API endpoint, and you want to take action when certain values from the API have changed.

Installation

Using pnpm

pnpm install spontan

Using npm

npm install spontan

Example

import { Spontan } from 'spontan';

// Pre-defined initial data
const initialState = {
    myProperty: 0,
    myOtherProperty: 0,
};

// Create Spontan instance
const spontan = new Spontan(initialState, {
    debug: true, // Enable debugging
});

// Listen to any property
spontan.onAnyChanged((property, oldValue, newValue) => {
    // This will be invoked when any property in `initialState` changes.
    console.log('Property value has changed', { property, oldValue, newValue });
});

// Listen to a specific property
spontan.onChanged('myOtherProperty', (oldValue, newValue) => {
    // This will be invoked only when `myOtherProperty` in `initialState` changes.
    console.log('myOtherProperty value has changed:', { oldValue, newValue });
});

// Run
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
    if (i % 2 === 0) {
        spontan.setProperty('myProperty', i);
    } else {
        spontan.setProperty('myOtherProperty', i);
    }

    // Some delay
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
}
