Cycle-React

An RxJS functional interface to Facebook's React.

Cycle-React creates custom React Hooks and allow applications to be written in functional style and control data flow with Observables.

Additionally, Cycle-React is inspired by a beautiful framework called Cycle.js.

Installing

npm install cycle-react react rxjs

React v16.8 or later is required.

Currently, Only RxJS 6 is supported. For migrating RxJS with cycle-react v7, see release note for details.

Example

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { useInteractions } from 'cycle-react';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators'

const [interactions, useCycle] = useInteractions(
  '', // Initial state
  { // Interaction operators
    onNameChange: map(ev => currentState => ev.target.value)
  }
);

function View() {
  const name = useCycle();
  return (
    <div>
      <label>Name:</label>
      <input type="text"
             onChange={interactions('onNameChange')} />
      <hr />
      <h1>Hello {name}</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <View />,
  document.querySelector('.js-container')
);

interactions is a collection containing all user interaction events happening on the user-defined event handlers on the DOM, which you can define by providing Object.<string, function>. And the event handler for DOM can be defined by interactions.listener(eventName) or simply interactions(eventName).

Function useInteractions subscribes the Observable which is the combination of all interactions merged together, and calls setState from useState(initialState). By connecting interactions and setState, the Observable of user interactions and state changes is completed.

You can learn more about the concept behind interactions and Cycle from André's amazing presentation: "What if the user was a function?"

From Redux to Cycle-React

Redux	Cycle-React
Actions	Interactions name
Reducers	Interactions operator
Store	Interactions object and side-effect from useCycle
Provider	createContext - Check example TodoMVC for details.
dispatch(action)	interactions(action)

Cycle-React is a React-style implementation of Cycle.js, so we have the same concept of handling user interactions. Learn more on: http://cycle.js.org/dialogue.html

In addition, we're working on the documentation site for Cycle-React with more useful examples, too. Stay tuned!
