## Install

```bash
npm install keepalive-for-react
```

```bash
yarn add keepalive-for-react
```

```bash
pnpm add keepalive-for-react
```

## Usage

### in react-router-dom v6+

1. install react-router-dom v6+

```bash
npm install react-router-dom keepalive-for-react
```

2. use KeepAlive in your project

```tsx
import { KeepAliveRouteOutlet } from "keepalive-for-react";

function Layout() {
return (




);
}
```

or

```tsx
import { useMemo } from "react";
import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";
import { KeepAlive, useKeepAliveRef } from "keepalive-for-react";

function Layout() {
const location = useLocation();
const aliveRef = useKeepAliveRef();

const outlet = useOutlet();

// determine which route component to is active
const currentCacheKey = useMemo(() => {
return location.pathname + location.search;
}, [location.pathname, location.search]);

return (




}>
{outlet}




);
}
```

### in simple tabs

```bash
npm install keepalive-for-react
```

```tsx
const tabs = [
{
key: "tab1",
label: "Tab 1",
component: Tab1,
},
{
key: "tab2",
label: "Tab 2",
component: Tab2,
},
{
key: "tab3",
label: "Tab 3",
component: Tab3,
},
];

function App() {
const [currentTab, setCurrentTab] = useState("tab1");

const tab = useMemo(() => {
return tabs.find(tab => tab.key === currentTab);
}, [currentTab]);

return (


{/* ... */}

{tab && }


);
}

## KeepAlive Props

type definition

```tsx
interface KeepAliveProps {
// determine which component to is active
activeCacheKey: string;
children?: KeepAliveChildren;
/**
* max cache count default 10
*/
max?: number;
exclude?: Array | string | RegExp;
include?: Array | string | RegExp;
onBeforeActive?: (activeCacheKey: string) => void;
customContainerRef?: RefObject;
cacheNodeClassName?: string;
containerClassName?: string;
errorElement?: ComponentType<{
children: ReactNode;
}>;
/**
* transition default false
*/
transition?: boolean;
/**
* transition duration default 200
*/
duration?: number;
aliveRef?: RefObject;
/**
* max alive time for cache node (second)
* @default 0 (no limit)
*/
maxAliveTime?: number | MaxAliveConfig[];
}

interface MaxAliveConfig {
match: string | RegExp;
expire: number;
}
```

## Hooks

### useEffectOnActive

```tsx
useEffectOnActive(() => {
console.log("active");
}, []);
```

### useLayoutEffectOnActive

```tsx
useLayoutEffectOnActive(
() => {
console.log("active");
},
[],
false,
);
// the third parameter is optional, default is true,
// which means the callback will be skipped when the useLayoutEffect is triggered in first render
```

### useKeepAliveContext

type definition

```ts
interface KeepAliveContext {
/**
* whether the component is active
*/
active: boolean;
/**
* refresh the component
* @param {string} [cacheKey] - The cache key of the component. If not provided, the current cached component will be refreshed.
*/
refresh: (cacheKey?: string) => void;
/**
* destroy the component
* @param {string} [cacheKey] - the cache key of the component, if not provided, current active cached component will be destroyed
*/
destroy: (cacheKey?: string | string[]) => Promise;
/**
* destroy all components
*/
destroyAll: () => Promise;
/**
* destroy other components except the provided cacheKey
* @param {string} [cacheKey] - The cache key of the component. If not provided, destroy all components except the current active cached component.
*/
destroyOther: (cacheKey?: string) => Promise;
/**
* get the cache nodes
*/
getCacheNodes: () => Array;
}
```

```tsx
const { active, refresh, destroy, getCacheNodes } = useKeepAliveContext();
// active is a boolean, true is active, false is inactive
// refresh is a function, you can call it to refresh the component
// destroy is a function, you can call it to destroy the component
// ...
// getCacheNodes is a function, you can call it to get the cache nodes
```

### useKeepAliveRef

type definition

```ts
interface KeepAliveRef {
refresh: (cacheKey?: string) => void;
destroy: (cacheKey?: string | string[]) => Promise;
destroyAll: () => Promise;
destroyOther: (cacheKey?: string) => Promise;
getCacheNodes: () => Array;
}
```

```tsx
function App() {
const aliveRef = useKeepAliveRef();
// aliveRef.current is a KeepAliveRef object

// you can call refresh and destroy on aliveRef.current
aliveRef.current?.refresh();
// it is not necessary to call destroy manually, KeepAlive will handle it automatically
aliveRef.current?.destroy();

return {/* ... */};
}
// or
function AppRouter() {
const aliveRef = useKeepAliveRef();
// aliveRef.current is a KeepAliveRef object

// you can call refresh and destroy on aliveRef.current
aliveRef.current?.refresh();
aliveRef.current?.destroy();
return ;
}
```
