Test helper to apply pending React updates before making assertions.
Documentation

Reads the current Owner Stack in development and returns it as a string if available.

Owner Stacks are available in

• Component render
• Effects (e.g. use_effect)
• React’s event handlers (e.g. button([a.on_click(fn (_) {...})]))
• React error handlers (React Root options onCaughtError, onRecoverableError, and onUncaughtError)

If no Owner Stack is available, null is returned (see Troubleshooting: The Owner Stack is null).

Owner Stacks are only available in development. captureOwnerStack will always return null outside of development.

Documentation

Create a Redraw component, with a name, and a render function. render will accept props, and a list of children.

context emulates classic Context usage in React. Instead of calling create_context and get_context, it’s possible to simply call context, which will get or create the context directly, and allows to write code as if Context is globally available. context also tries to preserve type-checking at most. context.default_value is lazily evaluated, meaning no additional computations will ever be run.

import redraw

const context_name = "MyContextName"

pub type MyContext {
  MyContext(count: Int, set_count: fn (Int) -> Nil)
}

fn default_value() {
  let count = 0
  les set_count = fn (_) { Nil }
  MyContext(count:)
}

pub fn provider() {
  use _, children <- redraw.component()
  let context = redraw.context(context_name, default_value)
  let #(count, set_count) = redraw.use_state(0)
  redraw.provider(context, MyContext(count:, set_count:), children)
}

pub fn use_my_context() {
  let context = redraw.context(context_name, default_value)
  redraw.use_context(context)
}

context should never fail, but it can be wrong if you use an already used name.

Create a context that components can provide or read. Each context is referenced by its name, a little bit like actors in OTP (if you’re familiar with Erlang). Because Gleam cannot execute code outside of main function, creating a context should do some side-effect at startup.

In traditional React code, Context usage is usually written like this.

import * as react from 'react'

// Create your Context in a side-effectful way.
const MyContext = react.createContext(defaultValue)

// Create your own provider, wrapping your context.
export function MyProvider(props) {
  return <MyContext.Provider>{props.children}</MyContext.Provider>
}

// Create your own hook, to simplify usage of your context.
export function useMyContext() {
  return react.useContext(MyContext)
}

To simplify and mimic that usage, Redraw wraps Context creation with some caching, to emulate a similar behaviour.

import redraw

const context_name = "MyContextName"

pub fn my_provider(children) {
  let assert Ok(context) = redraw.create_context(context_name, default_value)
  redraw.provider(context, value, children)
}

pub fn use_my_context() {
  let assert Ok(context) = redraw.get_context(context_name)
  redraw.use_context(context)
}

Be careful, create_context fails if the Context is already defined. Choose a full qualified name, hard to overlap with inattention. If you want to get a Context in an idempotent way, take a look at context().

Create a Redraw Element, with a name, and a render function. Keep in mind this component does not accept children as second argument.

Fragment allow to group children, without creating a node in the DOM.
Documentation

Get a context. Because of FFI, get_context breaks the type-checker. It should be considered as unsafe code. As a library author, never exposes your context and expect users will call get_context themselves, but rather exposes a use_my_context() function, handling the type-checking for the user.

import redraw

pub type MyContext {
  MyContext(value: Int)
}

/// `use_context` returns `Context(a)`, should it can be safely returned as
/// `Context(MyContext)`.
pub fn use_my_context() -> redraw.Context(MyContext) {
  let context = case redraw.get_context("MyContextName") {
    // Context has been found in the context cache, use it as desired.
    Ok(context) -> context
    // Context has not been found. It means the user did not initialised it.
    Error(_) -> panic as "Unitialised context."
  }
  redraw.use_context(context)
}

Get the current value of a ref.

Redraw does not support passing key element to components in an easy way like React does. To simplify this, it uses the same API than Lustre to put keys on children.

fn my_component(props, children) {
  redraw.keyed(my_other_component(props, _), {
    use item <- list.map(children)
    #("my-key", item)
  })
}

Convert a React component to a React-redraw component with children. Give it a name, and send directly the FFI. Don’t worry about the snake_case over camelCase, redraw take care of it for you.

Because children can accept anything, it’s up to you to define the type of the children. If you send a List, it will be automatically converted to a JavaScript array.

import redraw

pub type MyComponentProps {
  MyComponentProps(
    first_prop: Bool,
    second_prop: String,
  )
}

@external(javascript, "my_library", "MyComponent")
fn do_my_component(props: MyComponentProps) -> redraw.Component

pub fn my_component() -> fn(MyComponentProps, List(Component)) -> redraw.Component {
  redraw.to_component("MyComponent", do_my_component)
}
