create-counter

create-counter is a simple state tracker for a number you want to add to.

Installation

yarn add @react-noui/create-counter

Or with npm

npm install --save @react-noui/create-counter

Example

This example shows how you can track different values.

import { createCounter } from '@react-noui/create-counter';
// Tracks the total number of clicks within it.
const ClickCounter = createCounter();
// Tracks the total async time spent in ms.
const AsyncTimer = createCounter();

function App() {
  return (
    <AsyncTimer.Provider>
      <ClickCounter.Provider>
        TOTAL CLICKS <ShowClicks />
        <ClickCounter.Provider>
          CLICK A TOTAL: <ShowClicks />
          <AddButton>Button A</AddButton>
        </ClickCounter.Provider>
        <ClickCounter.Provider>
          CLICK B TOTAL: <ShowClicks />
          <AddButton>Button B</AddButton>
        </ClickCounter.Provider>
      </ClickCounter.Provider>
    </AsyncTimer.Provider>
  )
}

function ShowClicks() {
  const { count } = useCounter(ClickCounter);
  return <span>{count}</span>
}
function AddButton({children}) {
  const { add: addClick } = useCounter(ClickCounter);
  const { add: addTime } = useCounter(AsyncTimer);
  const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    const backThen = Date.now();
    addClick();
    fetch('/stuff').then(() => {
      addTime(Date.now() - backThen);
    });
  }, [addClick, addTime]);
  return <button onClick={handleClick}>{children}</button>;
}

In the above example, clicking Button A will add 1 to the totals of CLICK A TOTAL, and TOTAL CLICKS. Likewise clicking Button B will update the totals of CLICK B TOTAL and TOTAL CLICKS. Any nested ClickCounter.add call will update the total of itself and any composed parents.
