## Install

```bash
$ yarn add effector-reeffect
```

Or using `npm`

```bash
$ npm install --save effector-reeffect
```

## Usage

In basic version you can use it like regular [Effect](https://effector.now.sh/en/api/effector/effect):

```javascript
import { createReEffect } from 'effector-reeffect'

// create ReEffect
const fetchUser = createReEffect({
handler: ({ id }) =>
fetch(`https://example.com/users/${id}`).then(res => res.json()),
})
```

Nothing special yet, created ReEffect has same properties, as usual Effect: Events `done`, `fail`, `finally`; Store `pending`; and methods `use(handler)`, `watch(watcher)`, `prepend(fn)`. Check out [documentation](https://effector.now.sh/en/api/effector/effect) to learn more.

Magic begins when you call ReEffect more that once, while previous asynchronous operation is not finished yet 🧙‍♂️

```javascript
import { createReEffect, TAKE_LAST } from 'effector-reeffect'

// create ReEffect
const fetchUser = createReEffect({
handler: ({ id }) =>
fetch(`https://example.com/users/${id}`).then(res => res.json()),
})

// call it once
fetchUser({ id: 1 }, TAKE_LAST)

// and somewhere in a galaxy far, far away
fetchUser({ id: 1 }, TAKE_LAST)
```

You see the new `TAKE_LAST` argument - this is called _strategy_, and _TAKE_LAST_ one ensures, that only latest call will trigger `done` (or `fail`) event. Each call still remain separate Promise, so you can _await_ it, but first one in the example above will be rejected with `CancelledError` instance (you can import this class from package and check `error instanceof CancelledError`).

## Strategies

### TAKE_EVERY

This is _default strategy_, if you will not specify any other.

TAKE_EVERY

Second effect call will launch second asynchronous operation. In contrast with usual Effect, ReEffect will trigger `.done` (or `.fail`) event only for latest operation, and `.pending` store will contain `true` for a whole time of all operations (in other words, if there is at least single pending operation - `.pending` will hold `true`).

### TAKE_FIRST

TAKE_FIRST

Second effect call will be immediately rejected with `CancelledError` (handler will not be executed at all).

### TAKE_LAST

TAKE_LAST

Second effect call will reject all currently pending operations (if any) with `CancelledError`.

### QUEUE

QUEUE

Second effect will not be launched until all other pending effects are finished.

### RACE

RACE

First finished effect will win the race and cancel all other pending effects with `CancelledError`.

This strategy is a bit different, then first four. You can call them "**→IN** strategies", while RACE is "**OUT→** strategy".

ReEffect checks **→IN** strategy in the moment effect was launched. Effect, launched with _TAKE_LAST_ strategy, will cancel all currently pending effects, regardless of their strategies. Effect, launched with _QUEUE_ strategy, will be placed in queue to wait all currently pending effects, regardless of their strategies. And so on.

**OUT→** strategy is checked, when effect is fulfilled (but not cancelled). Effect with _RACE_ strategy, upon finished, will cancel all other pending effects, regardless of their strategies.

It should be noted, that due to asynchronous cancellation, `cancelled` events for loser effects will happen _after_ main `done`/`fail` event, and _after_ `pending` is set to `false`.

## Properties

ReEffect has few new properties:

- `.cancelled`: Event triggered when any handler is rejected with `CancelledError` or `LimitExceededError` (this will be described later).
- `.cancel`: Event you can trigger to manually cancel all currently pending operations - each cancelled operation will trigger `.cancelled` event.

## Options

`createReEffect` function accepts same arguments as usual Effect, with few possible additions in config:

- `strategy`: this strategy will be considered as default, instead of `TAKE_EVERY`. Possible values: `TAKE_EVERY`, `TAKE_FIRST`, `TAKE_LAST`, `QUEUE` or `RACE`.
- `feedback`: if `true` — puts `strategy` field into `done`, `fail` or `cancelled` event's payload. With `false` by default ReEffect behaves just like usual Effect, with exactly the same results.
- `limit`: maximum count of simultaneously running operation, by default `Infinity`. If new effect call will exceed this value, call will be immediately rejected with `LimitExceededError` error.
- `timeout`: timeout for effect execution, in milliseconds. If timeout is exceeded — effect will be rejected with `TimeoutError`.

```javascript
const fetchUser = createReEffect('fetchUser', {
handler: ({ id }) =>
fetch(`https://example.com/users/${id}`).then(res => res.json()),
strategy: TAKE_LAST,
feedback: true,
limit: 3,
timeout: 5000,
})
```

ReEffect, created with `createReEffect` function, behave like usual Effect, with one difference: in addition to effect's `payload` you can specify _strategy_ as a second argument. This strategy will override default strategy for this effect (but will not replace default strategy).

You can also specify config object, with `strategy` or/and `timeout`.

```javascript
// this are equivalent calls
fetchUser({ id: 2 }, TAKE_EVERY)
fetchUser({ id: 2 }, { strategy: TAKE_EVERY })
fetchUser({ params: { id: 2 }, strategy: TAKE_EVERY })

// or if your effect doesn't have payload
fetchAllUsers(undefined, RACE)
fetchAllUsers(undefined, { strategy: RACE })
fetchAllUsers({ strategy: RACE })

// with timeout
fetchUser({ id: 42 }, { timeout: 5000 })
fetchUser({ params: { id: 42 }, strategy: TAKE_EVERY, timeout: 5000 })
```

## Cancellation

ReEffect will handle Promises cancellation for you (so handler promise result will be ignored), _but it cannot cancel logic_ by itself! There are quite an amount of possible asynchronous operations, and each one could be cancelled differently (and some could not be cancelled at all).

But bright side of it is that you can tell ReEffect, _how to cancel your logic_ ☀️

To do this, `handler` accepts `onCancel` callback as a second argument, and you can specify, what actually to do on cancel.

Let me show an example:

```javascript
import { createReEffect, TAKE_LAST } from 'effector-reeffect'

const reeffect = createReEffect({ strategy: TAKE_LAST })

reeffect.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect called:', _))
reeffect.done.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect done:', _))
reeffect.fail.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect fail:', _))
reeffect.cancelled.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect cancelled:', _))

reeffect.use(
params =>
new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(`-> AHA! TIMEOUT FROM EFFECT WITH PARAMS: ${params}`)
resolve('done')
}, 1000)
})
)

reeffect(1)
reeffect(2)
```

If you will run code above, you will get

```
reeffect called: 1
reeffect called: 2
reeffect cancelled: { params: 1,
error: Error: Cancelled due to "TAKE_LAST", new effect was added }
-> AHA! TIMEOUT FROM EFFECT WITH PARAMS: 1
-> AHA! TIMEOUT FROM EFFECT WITH PARAMS: 2
reeffect done: { params: 2, result: 'done' }
```

As you can see, first effect call was rejected and cancelled, but timeout itself was not cancelled, and printed message.

Let's change code above:

```javascript
import { createReEffect, TAKE_LAST } from 'effector-reeffect'

const reeffect = createReEffect({ strategy: TAKE_LAST })

reeffect.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect called:', _))
reeffect.done.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect done:', _))
reeffect.fail.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect fail:', _))
reeffect.cancelled.watch(_ => console.log('reeffect cancelled:', _))

reeffect.use((params, onCancel) => {
let timeout
onCancel(() => clearTimeout(timeout))
return new Promise(resolve => {
timeout = setTimeout(() => {
console.log(`-> AHA! TIMEOUT FROM EFFECT WITH PARAMS: ${params}`)
resolve('done')
}, 1000)
})
})

reeffect(1)
reeffect(2)
```

Now ReEffect know, how to cancel your Promise's logic, and will do it while cancelling operation:

```
reeffect called: 1
reeffect called: 2
reeffect cancelled: { params: 1,
error: Error: Cancelled due to "TAKE_LAST", new effect was added }
-> AHA! TIMEOUT FROM EFFECT WITH PARAMS: 2
reeffect done: { params: 2, result: 'done' }
```

This could be done with any asynchronous operation, which supports cancellation or abortion.

### [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios)

Axios supports cancellation via [_cancel token_](https://github.com/axios/axios#cancellation):

```javascript
reeffect.use(({ id }, onCancel) => {
const source = CancelToken.source()
onCancel(() => source.cancel())
return axios.get(`https://example.com/users/${id}`, {
cancelToken: source.token,
})
})
```

### [fetch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API)

Fetch API supports cancellation via [_AbortController_](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) ([read more](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/abortable-fetch)):

```javascript
reeffect.use(({ id }, onCancel) => {
const controller = new AbortController()
onCancel(() => controller.abort())
return fetch(`https://example.com/users/${id}`, {
signal: controller.signal,
})
})
```

### [ky](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky)

Ky is built on top of Fetch API, and supports cancellation via [_AbortController_](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) as well:

```javascript
reeffect.use(({ id }, onCancel) => {
const controller = new AbortController()
onCancel(() => controller.abort())
return ky(`https://example.com/users/${id}`, {
signal: controller.signal,
}).json()
})
```

### [request](https://github.com/request/request)

_**Note**: request has been [deprecated](https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142), you probably should not use it._

Request HTTP client supports [`.abort()` method](https://github.com/request/request/issues/772):

```javascript
reeffect.use(({ id }, onCancel) => {
let r
onCancel(() => r.abort())
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
r = request(`https://example.com/users/${id}`, (err, resp, body) =>
err ? reject(err) : resolve(body)
)
})
})
```

### [XMLHttpRequest](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest)

If you happen to use good old `XMLHttpRequest`, I will not blame you (but others definitely will). Good to know it supports cancellation too, via [`.abort()` method](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/abort):

```javascript
reeffect.use(({ id }, onCancel) => {
let xhr
onCancel(() => xhr.abort())
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', `https://example.com/users/${id}`)
xhr.onload = function () {
if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
resolve(xhr.response)
} else {
reject({
status: this.status,
statusText: xhr.statusText,
})
}
}
xhr.onerror = function () {
reject({
status: this.status,
statusText: xhr.statusText,
})
}
xhr.send()
})
})
```

## FAQ

### Can I use ReEffect with Domain?

Yes! Alongside with `createReEffect` ReEffect package exports factory `createReEffectFactory`, you can use it to wrap `createEffect` from domain:

```javascript
import { createDomain } from 'effector'
import { createReEffectFactory } from 'effector-reeffect'

const domain = createDomain()
const createReEffect = createReEffectFactory(domain.createEffect)
const fetchUser = createReEffect(/* ... */)
// -> fetchUser will belong to domain
```

### Can I use ReEffect with `fork`?

Yes, with Effector version 22.

### Can I use ReEffect with `attach`?

I didn't try it, but most probably no :(

First of all, after `attach` you will get regular Effect, not ReEffect, and secondarily, looks like `attach` implementation [replaces `req` parameter](https://github.com/zerobias/effector/blob/d2f711c9fc702436e44dcf9637e4e7ee5a884570/src/effector/attach.js#L34), which highly likely will break ReEffect functionality.

There is [issue #8](https://github.com/yumauri/effector-reeffect/issues/8) to track this case.

If you want just attach store to your ReEffect, you can try technique, called "CoEffect":

```javascript
/**
* Creates CoEffect - ReEffect, attached to the store value
*/
function createCoEffect({ store, handler, ...config }) {
const fx = createReEffect(config)

// save original `use`
const use = fx.use

// replace original `use`, to be able to change handler on CoEffect
// you can omit this, if you don't intend to replace CoEffect handler
fx.use = fn => (handler = fn)

// on each store change replace handler for ReEffect,
// so it will be called with actual store value every time
store.watch(value => {
use((payload, onCancel) => handler(payload, value, onCancel))
})

return fx
}
```
