el("p").append(...T`
How a program responds to variable data or user interactions is one of the fundamental problems of
programming. If we desire to solve the issue in a declarative manner, signals may be a viable approach.
`),
el(code, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/intro.js"), page_id }),
el(h3, t`Introducing signals`),
el("p").append(...T`
Lets re-introduce
${el("a", { textContent: t`3PS principle`, href: "./#h-event-driven-programming--parts-separation--ps" })}.
`),
el("p").append(...T`
Using signals, we split program logic into the three parts. Firstly (α), we create a variable (constant)
representing reactive value. Somewhere later, we can register (β) a logic reacting to the signal value
changes. Similarly, in a remaining part (γ), we can update the signal value.
`),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/signals.js"), page_id }),
el("p").append(...T`
All this is just an example of
${el("a", { textContent: t`Event-driven programming`, ...references.wiki_event_driven })} and
${el("a", { textContent: t`Publishsubscribe pattern`, ...references.wiki_pubsub })} (compare for example
with ${el("a", { textContent: t`fpubsub library`, ...references.fpubsub })}). All three parts can be in
some manner independent and still connected to the same reactive entity.
`),
el("p").append(...T`
Signals are implemented in the library as functions. To see current value of signal, just call it without
any arguments ${el("code", "console.log(signal())")}. To update the signal value, pass any argument
${el("code", `signal('${t`a new value`}')`)}. For listenning the signal value changes, use
${el("code", "S.on(signal, console.log)")}.
`),
el("p").append(...T`
Similarly to the ${el("code", "on")} function to register DOM events listener. You can use
${el("code", "AbortController")}/${el("code", "AbortSignal")} to ${el("em", "off")}/stop listenning. In
example, you also found the way for representing “live” piece of code computation pattern (derived signal):
`),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/computations-abort.js"), page_id }),
el(h3, t`Signals and actions`),
el("p").append(...T`
${el("code", `S(/* ${t`primitive`} */)`)} allows you to declare simple reactive variables, typically, around
${el("em", t`immutable`)} ${el("a", { textContent: t`primitive types`, ...references.mdn_primitive })}.
However, it may also be necessary to use reactive arrays, objects, or other complex reactive structures.
`),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/actions-demo.js"), page_id }),
el("p", t`…but typical user-case is object/array (maps, sets and other mutable objects):`),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/actions-todos.js"), page_id }),
el("p").append(...T`
In some way, you can compare it with ${el("a", { textContent: "useReducer", ...references.mdn_use_reducer })}
hook from React. So, the ${el("code", "S(<data>, <actions>)")} pattern creates a store “machine”. We can
then invoke (dispatch) registered action by calling ${el("code", "S.action(<signal>, <name>, ...<args>)")}
after the action call the signal calls all its listeners. This can be stopped by calling
${el("code", "this.stopPropagation()")} in the method representing the given action. As it can be seen in
examples, the “store” value is available also in the function for given action (${el("code", "this.value")}).
`),
el(h3, t`Reactive DOM attributes and elements`),
el("p", t`There are on basic level two distinc situation to mirror dynamic value into the DOM/UI`),
el("ol").append(
el("li", t`to change some attribute(s) of existing element(s)`),
el("li", t`to generate elements itself dynamically this covers conditions and loops`)
),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/dom-attrs.js"), page_id }),
el("p").append(...T`
To derived attribute based on value of signal variable just use the signal as a value of the attribute
(${el("code", "assign(element, { attribute: S('value') })")}). ${el("code", "assign")}/${el("code", "el")}
provides ways to glue reactive attributes/classes more granularly into the DOM. Just use dedicated build-in
attributes ${el("code", "dataset")}, ${el("code", "ariaset")} and ${el("code", "classList")}.
`),
el("p").append(...T`
For computation, you can use the “derived signal” (see above) like
${el("code", "assign(element, { textContent: S(()=> 'Hello '+WorldSignal()) })")}. This is read-only signal
its value is computed based on given function and updated when any signal used in the function changes.
`),
el("p").append(...T`
To represent part of the template filled dynamically based on the signal value use
${el("code", "S.el(signal, DOMgenerator)")}. This was already used in the todo example above or see:
`),
el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/signals/dom-el.js"), page_id }),
el(mnemonic)
);
