useStateSnapshots
A React hook to keep track of state changes for undo/redo functionality.
## Demo
https://codesandbox.io/s/use-state-snapshots-i6fuq
## Features
- Drop-in replacement for [useState](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usestate) including support for [functional updates](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#functional-updates) and [lazy initial state](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#lazy-initial-state).
- Three ways to track changes:
- Automatically create new snapshots at regular intervals.
- Automatically create a snapshot for every single change to state.
- Only create snapshots for specific changes to state.
- Snapshots include timestamps and ID's so you can display a timeline of changes.
- Configurable limit for the number of snapshots to keep.
- Flow and TypeScript declarations included.
- Zero dependencies.
## Installation
Yarn:
```shell
yarn add use-state-snapshots
```
NPM:
```shell
npm install use-state-snapshots
```
## Usage
```js
import React from "react";
import useStateSnapshots from "use-state-snapshots";
const MyComponent = () => {
const [state, setState, pointer, setPointer] = useStateSnapshots("Hello");
return (
{
setState(event.target.value);
}}
/>
{
setPointer(pointer - 1);
}}
>
Undo
{
setPointer(pointer + 1);
}}
>
Redo
);
};
```
## API
### useStateSnapshots
```js
const [state, setState, pointer, setPointer, snapshots] = useStateSnapshots(
initialState,
delay,
limit
);
```
The `initialState` argument and the `state` value behave exactly as they do for the [useState](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usestate) hook.
The `delay` argument is the number of milliseconds to wait before automatically creating a new snapshot. When set to `false` the automatic snapshots behaviour is disabled and when set to `0` a new snapshot will be created every time `setState` is called. Default value: `2000`.
The `limit` argument is the number of snapshots to keep. When the limit is reached the oldest snapshot will be removed before when adding a new one. Default value: `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`.
```js
const { id, state, firstChange, lastChange } = snapshots[pointer];
```
The `pointer` value returned is the index of the current snapshot in `snapshots`.
Along with `state` each snapshot has a unique `id` as well as `firstChange` and `lastChange` timestamps indicating when the earliest and most recent changes in that snapshot occurred (these are generated with `Date.now()`).
### setState
```js
setState(newState, forceSnapshot);
```
The `setState` function works just as described in the [useState](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usestate) documentation, with the exception of an additional `forceSnapshot` argument. When the `forceSnapshot` argument is `true` a new snapshot will be created irrespective of the amount of time that has passed since the last snapshot was created.
### setPointer
```js
setPointer(index);
```
The `index` argument is the index of the snapshot the `snapshots` list you want to restore. If a value less than 0 or greater than the length of the snapshots list it will be automatically clamped to the lowest (`0`) or highest (`snapshots.length - 1`) allowed value.
## Functional Updates
Both `setState` and `setPointer` accept functional updates as explained in
the [useState documentation](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#functional-updates).
