mobx-angular's Introduction

Build Status npm version

mobx-angular

MobX connector for Angular (versions 2, 4, 5)

If you're looking for the Angular 1 version version, it's here

Features

  1. The library allows you to automatically observe all the observables that your component uses
  2. Automatically runs change detection - works great with OnPush strategy
  3. Disposes of all the observers when the component is destroyed
  4. Debugging tools

Usage

Install:

$ npm install --save mobx-angular mobx

Import the MobxAngularModule:

import { MobxAngularModule } from 'mobx-angular';

@NgModule({
    imports: [..., MobxAngularModule]
})
export class MyModule {}

autorun

Use *mobxAutorun directive in your template:

import { Component, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';
import {store} from './store/counter';

@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  template: `
    <div *mobxAutorun>
      {{ store.value }} - {{ store.computedValue }}
      <button (click)="store.action">Action</button>
    </div>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
    store = store;
}

The directive will do the following:

  • Run detach on the view under *mobxAutorun (disables change detection)
  • Observe all the observables / computed values that your component uses
  • Automatically run the detectChanges method whenever there's a relevant change

Under the hood, this magic happens by running autorun(() => view.detecChanges)

dontDetach (and Upgrading from mobx-angular 1.X to 2.X)

Notice that in 2.X the default behaviour of *mobxAutorun is to detach from Change Detection.

If things stop working you have 3 options:

  • Define local component properties as observables or computed values
  • Surround with *mobxAutorun only the parts that actually use observable / computed values from the store
  • Disabling detach by specifying: *mobxAutorun="{ dontDetach: true }">. To retain good performance you can use OnPush CD strategy on the component

autorunSync

This method is deprecated - do not use it

reaction

Aside from autorun, MobX allows you to react to specific data changes.

Usage:

import { Component, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  template: `<div *mobxReaction="getParity.bind(this)">
    {{ parity }}
  </div>`
})
class AppComponent {
  getParity() {
    return this.parity = store.counter % 2 ? 'Odd' : 'Even';
  }
}

The callback function will automatically re-run whenever any observable that it uses changes. Change Detection will run automatically whenever the return value of callback changes. If you don't return anything, change detection will not run.

In this example, the parity property will be updated according to counter, and change detection will run only when the parity changes.

Injectable stores

You can easily make your stores injectable:

import { observable, action } from 'mobx-angular';

@Injectable()
class Store {
  @observable value;
  @action doSomething() { ... }
}

Using with OnPush or ngZone: 'noop'

To achieve great performance, you can set OnPush change detection strategy on your components (this can be configured as default in .angular-cli.json). MobX will run change detection manually for you on the components that need to be updated.

  • In Angular 5 there's a new option, which is to disable Zone completely when bootstrapping the app (ngZone: 'noop'). Please note that this means that all 3rd-party components will stop working (because they rely on change detection to work via Zone).

Debugging MobX

mobx-angular comes with a handy debug tool. To turn on / off the debug tool, open developer tools' console, and run:

mobxAngularDebug(true) // turn on
mobxAngularDebug(false) // turn off

Then you can right-click on the components that use mobx directives, and you will see a console log of the components' dependencies. Also, every action that happens in mobx will be console.logged in a nice way.

Examples

See the example folder, specifically these files:
/example/todos/src/app/stores/todos.ts
/example/todos/src/app/app.component.ts

To run the examples, clone this repo and run:

$ npm install -g @angular/cli
$ cd example/<example-folder>
$ npm install
$ ng serve
