A simple and lightweight library for state management.
Put the Stateful Pages script tag at the bottom of the body, but before your JavaScript code.
<html lang="en">
<body>
<!-- Body -->
<script src="path/to/stateful/pages"></script>
<script src="path/to/your/code"></script>
</body>
</html>To use Stateful Pages, wrap your code inside a <stateful> tag.
<stateful>
<h1>Stateful Pages!</h1>
</stateful>Each <stateful> tag works independently, so there can be multiple tags per page, but you can also just put the entire
page within one tag.
This is where the work is done. Everything works based on the values within the state. To set values in the state,
use setState() from the stateful tag.
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { setState } = stateful;
setState({
foo: "bar",
});Getting values within the state is done using the state object from the tag.
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { state, setState } = stateful;
setState({
foo: "bar",
});
console.log(state.foo); // "bar"To use a value in the page, use the <value> tag.
<stateful id="stateful-root">
<p>The value is
<value name="foo"></value>
</p>
</stateful>
<script>
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { state, setState } = stateful;
setState({
foo: "bar",
});
</script>This will render out to
<p>The value is bar</p>This will produce a button with a counter
<stateful id="stateful-root">
<button id="button">Click me!</button>
Presses:
<value name="presses"></value>
</stateful>
<script>
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { state, setState } = stateful;
setState({
presses: 0,
});
document.getElementById("button").onclick = () => {
setState({
presses: state.presses + 1,
});
};
</script>Every time the button is pressed, the counter will increment.
Conditionals can be created using the <if> tag. Nested within the <if> tag
can be one <then> tag, zero or more <elif> tags, and zero or one <else> tag.
<stateful id="stateful-root">
<h1>
<if condition="raining">
<then>It is raining</then>
<else>It is not raining</else>
</if>
</h1>
</stateful>
<script>
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { state, setState } = stateful;
setState({
raining: true,
});
</script>This will render to
<h1>It is raining</h1>Notice how the <h1> tag is wrapping the entire conditional. You can also put the
<h1> tag within the conditional, and it would produce the same result.
The <when> tag functions similarly to switch statements in many programming
languages.
<stateful id="stateful-root">
<label for="when-select">When Value:</label>
<select id="when-select">
<option>0</option>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>
<when value="number">
<case value="!0">
<p>Zero</p>
</case>
<case value="!1">
<p>One</p>
</case>
<case value="!2">
<p>Two</p>
</case>
<case value="!3">
<p>Three</p>
</case>
<else>
<p>Other</p>
</else>
</when>
</stateful>
<script>
const stateful = document.getElementById("stateful-root");
const { state, setState } = stateful;
setState({
number: 0,
});
document.getElementById("when-select").onchange = e => {
setState({
whenValue: e.target.value,
});
}
</script>This would initially render to
<label for="when-select">When Value:</label>
<select id="when-select">
<option>0</option>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>
<p>Zero</p>and then would update whenever the selection changes.
