Pass a reference of the store (`this`) as the first argument. The second argument is the [StorageOptions](#storageoptions--reactionoptions) for persisting the store data. In the example below `name`, `properties`, and `storage` properties are required but if you use [configurePersistable](#global-configuration) you can set a global storage adapter, so you only have to set it once. You can also pass a third argument ([ReactionOptions](#storageoptions--reactionoptions)) to control when data should be saved. Hydration of the store will happen automatically when `makePersistable` is created. ### Simple Example ```javascript import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; import { makePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; export class SampleStore { someProperty: []; constructor() { makeAutoObservable(this); makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'], storage: window.localStorage }); } } ``` ### Example With SerializableProperties ```javascript import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; import { makePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; export class SampleStore { someProperty: ['a', 'b', 'c']; constructor() { makeAutoObservable(this); makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: [ { key: 'someProperty', serialize: (value) => { return value.join(','); }, deserialize: (value) => { return value.split(','); }, }, ], storage: window.localStorage, }); } } ``` ### Example With All Options ```javascript import { makePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; import localForage from "localforage"; ... makePersistable( this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'], storage: localForage, // localForage, window.localStorage, AsyncStorage all have the same interface expireIn: 86400000, // One day in milliseconds removeOnExpiration: true, stringify: false, debugMode: true, }, { delay: 200, fireImmediately: false }, ); ... ``` ## Global Configuration If you plan on using the same values for some options you can set them globally with the `configurePersistable`. ```javascript import { configurePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; // All properties are optional configurePersistable( { storage: window.localStorage, expireIn: 86400000, removeOnExpiration: true, stringify: false, debugMode: true, }, { delay: 200, fireImmediately: false } ); ``` ```javascript export class SampleStore { someProperty: []; constructor() { makeAutoObservable(this); // Now makePersistable only needs `name` and `properties`: makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); } } ``` `configurePersistable` sets items globally, but you can override them within `makePersistable`. ## API You should only need `makePersistable` but this library also provides other utils for more advance usage. #### makePersistable (Promise) > **makePersistable** sets up store persisting. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this); > > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > } > ``` > > `makePersistable` is a Promise, so you can determine when the store has been initially hydrated. Also, you can use [isHydrated](#ishydrated) to determine the hydration state. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable, action } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > ... > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }).then( > action((persistStore) => { > console.log(persistStore.isHydrated); > }) > ); > ... > ``` #### StorageOptions & ReactionOptions > **StorageOptions** > > - `name` (String) - Should be a unique identifier and will be used as the key for the data storage. > - `properties` (Array of String) - A list of observable properties on the store you want to persist. Doesn't save MobX actions or computed values. > - `storage` ([localStorage Like API](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/localstorage/)) - Facilitates the reading, writing, and removal of the persisted store data. For **ReactNative** it may be `AsyncStorage`, `FS`, etc. and for **React** - `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, `localForage` etc. > - If you have an app that is Server-side rendering (SSR) you can set the value `undefined` to prevent errors. > - `expireIn` (Number) - A value in milliseconds to determine when the data in storage should not be retrieved by getItem. Never expires by default. > - `removeOnExpiration` (Boolean) - If expireIn has a value and has expired, the data in storage will be removed automatically when getItem is called. The default value is true. > - `stringify` (Boolean) - When true the data will be JSON.stringify before being passed to setItem. The default value is true. > - `debugMode` (Boolean) - When true a console.info will be called for several of mobx-persist-store items. The default value is false. > > **ReactionOptions** [MobX Reactions Options](https://mobx.js.org/reactions.html#options-) > > - `delay` (Number) - Allows you to set a `delay` option to limit the amount of times the `write` function is called. No delay by default. > - For example if you have a `200` millisecond delay and two changes happen within the delay time then the `write` function is only called once. If you have no delay then the `write` function would be called twice. > - `fireImmediately` (Boolean) - Determines if the store data should immediately be persisted or wait until a property in store changes. `false` by default. > > ```javascript > configurePersistable( > { > storage: window.localStorage, > expireIn: 86400000, > removeOnExpiration: true, > stringify: false, > debugMode: true, > }, > { delay: 200, fireImmediately: false } > ); > ... > makePersistable( > this, > { > name: 'SampleStore', > properties: ['someProperty'], > storage: window.localStorage, > expireIn: 86400000, > removeOnExpiration: true, > stringify: false, > debugMode: true, > }, > { delay: 200, fireImmediately: false } > ); > ``` #### isHydrated > **isHydrated** will be `true` once the store has finished being updated with the persisted data. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, isHydrated } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > get isHydrated() { > return isHydrated(this); > } > } > ``` #### isPersisting > **isPersisting** determines if the store is being currently persisted. > When calling `pausePersisting` the value will be `false` and `true` with `startPersisting` is called. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, isPersisting } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > get isPersisting() { > return isPersisting(this); > } > } > ``` #### pausePersisting > **pausePersisting** pauses the store from persisting data. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, pausePersisting } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > pauseStore() { > pausePersisting(this); > } > } > ``` #### startPersisting > **startPersisting** starts persisting the store data again after `pausePersisting` was called. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, startPersisting } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > startStore() { > startPersisting(this); > } > } > ``` #### stopPersisting > **stopPersisting** calls `pausePersisting` and internally removes reference to the store. > You should only call this function if you have store(s) that are re-created or do not live for the entire life of your application. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, stopPersisting } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > stopStore() { > stopPersisting(this); > } > } > ``` > > This function prevents memory leaks when you have store(s) that are removed or re-crated. > In the React example below `stopPersisting` is called when the component is unmounted. > > ```javascript > import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; > import { observer } from 'mobx-react-lite'; > import { stopPersisting } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > export const SamplePage = observer(() => { > const [localStore] = useState(() => new SampleStore()); > > useEffect(() => { > // Called when the component is unmounted > return () => localStore.stopStore(); > }, []); > > return ( >

> {localStore.someProperty.map((item) => ( >

{item.name}

> ))} >

> ); > }); > ``` #### hydrateStore (Promise) > **hydrateStore** will update the store with the persisted data. This will happen automatically with the initial `makePersistable` call. > This function is provide to manually hydrate the store. You should not have to call it unless you are doing something that modified the persisted data outside the store. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, hydrateStore } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > async hydrateStore() { > await hydrateStore(this); > } > } > ``` #### clearPersistedStore (Promise) > **clearPersistedStore** will remove the persisted data. This function is provide to manually clear the store's persisted data. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, clearPersistedStore } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > async clearStoredDate() { > await clearPersistedStore(this); > } > } > ``` #### getPersistedStore (Promise) > **getPersistedStore** will get the persisted data. This function is provide to manually get the store's persisted data. > > ```javascript > import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx'; > import { makePersistable, getPersistedStore } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > class SampleStore { > someProperty: []; > > constructor() { > makeAutoObservable(this, {}, { autoBind: true }); > makePersistable(this, { name: 'SampleStore', properties: ['someProperty'] }); > } > > async getStoredData() { > return getPersistedStore(this); > } > } > ``` #### PersistStoreMap > **PersistStoreMap** is a JavaScript Map object where the key is a reference to the store, and the value is a reference to the persist store. > Note: calling `stopPersisting(this)` will remove the store and persist store references from PersistStoreMap to prevent memory leaks. > > ```javascript > import { PersistStoreMap } from 'mobx-persist-store'; > > Array.from(PersistStoreMap.values()).map((persistStore) => persistStore.getPersistedStore()); > ``` ## Links - [MobX Site](https://mobx.js.org/README.html)
