Solid Events

Overview

Solid-events is an innovative set of primitives designed for declarative event composition and state derivation specifically for Solidjs. It serves as a much simpler alternative to RxJS, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate reactive programming with Solidjs. By enabling straightforward event management and state handling, solid-events simplifies the complexity often found in traditional event-driven frameworks.

Whether you're working on complex state management or optimizing UI responsiveness, solid-events offers a range of features that enhance the efficiency of your applications. This toolkit not only provides robust event handling capabilities but also ensures that your components remain lightweight and efficient.

Features

• Event Handler & Emitter: createEvent returns both a handler for executing callbacks and an emitter to trigger the event, streamlining event-driven programming.
• Chained Transformations: The handler's ability to return a new handler based on callback values allows for smooth and intuitive chaining of transformations.
• Automatic Cleanup: Handlers are automatically cleaned up with the component lifecycle, preventing memory leaks and manual management overhead.
• Halt Event Propagation: The halt() function can stop event propagation at any point, enhancing control over event flow.
• Async Events Handling: Promises returned from event callbacks are automatically flattened, ensuring that events wait for promises to resolve before emitting.
• Subject Signals: createSubject allows state to be derived from event handlers, facilitating easy updates to the signal’s value.
• Compound Variations: Variations like createAsyncSubject and createSubjectStore provide additional flexibility, accommodating both async functions and direct state mutations.
• Event Composition: Topics and partitions enable convenient merging or splitting of events, making complex event-driven architectures easier to manage.

With these features, solid-events is an essential toolkit for any Solidjs developer looking to enhance their reactive programming experience.
