storables

Svelte's built-in stores are not always ergonomic when you have to mix them with imperative code. Storables remedy this by letting you to embed logic within a store's lifetime.

checkable

checkable works like Svelte's writable but with built-in asynchronous validation.

Features

  • βœ… Asynchronous validation
    const initialValue = "John Smith";
    const { username, usernameCheckStatus } = checkable({
        name: "username",
        async check(newUsername) {
            // This value is invalid, but I know what I'm doing.
            if (userIsTyping) return false;
            // This value is invalid, scream!
            if (await alreadyExists(newUsername)) {
                throw Error("Username already taken");
            }
            // This value is valid
            return true;
        },
    }, initialValue);
    

    $usernameCheckStatus is "pending" while validating the value asynchronously.

    $usernameCheckStatus is "done" when validation is complete.

    $usernameCheckStatus is "error" if the validation throws an error.

    In the above example, usernameCheckStatus.error is Error("Username is already taken") if $usernameCheckStatus === "error". It is null otherwise.

    Unlike the transformable's assert, check is not write-blocking.

    The default/initial value is not validated.


persistable

Persist your store's value in localStorage or your database β€”store it anywhere.

Features

  • πŸ’Ύ Asynchronous storage
    const defaultValue = 0;
    const { count } = persistable({
        name: "count",
        io: {
            read({ set }) {
                readFromDatabase()
                    .then(value => set(value))
                    .catch(() => defaultValue);
                const cleanUp = onDatabaseChange(value => set(value));
                return cleanUp;
            },
            write: (value, { set, error }) => {
                try {
                    writeToDatabase(value).then(value => set(value););
                } catch (e) {
                    error("Save unsuccessful. Please try again later.");
                }
            },
        },
    });
    
  • βœ… Validation
    const { count, countWriteStatus } = persistable({
        name: "count",
        io: {
            read: ({ set }) => {
                set(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("count")));
            },
            write: (value, { set, error }) => {
                if (isInvalid(value)) {
                    error("Heeyo! Value is invalid.");
                }
                localStorage.setItem("count", JSON.stringify(value));
                set(value);
            },
        },
    });
    

    $countWriteStatus is "pending" while writing value.

    $countWriteStatus is "done" when writing is complete.

    $countWriteStatus is "error" if the write throws an error.

    In the above example, countWriteStatus.error is Error("Could not write invalid value") if $countWriteStatus === "error". It is null otherwise.


transformable

If Svelte's built-in writable and derived stores had a baby, it would be transformable.

Features

  • πŸ”„ Two-way transforms (...more like many-way transforms)
    const { dateObject, number } = transformable({
        name: "number",
        transforms: {
            dateObject: {
                to: (date) => date.getTime(),
                from: (number) => new Date(number),
            },
        },
    }, new Date().getTime());
    

    Updating number will call its own subscribers with $number and subscribers of dateObject with new Date($number). Updating dateObject will call its own subscribers with $dateObject and subscribers of number with $dateObject.getTime().

    This is handy if, for example, you want to display minutes to a user but your code thinks in milliseconds.

  • βœ… Validation
    const now = new Date().getTime()
    const { number, numberAssertStatus } = transformable({
        name: "number",
        assert(number) {
            // This is an invalid value, but I know what I'm doing.
            if (number === undefined) return false;
            // This is an error, scream!
            if (number < now) throw Error("Date must be after now");
            // This is a valid number
            return true;
        }
    }, now);
    

    numberAssertStatus.error is Error("Date must be after now") if $numberAssertStatus === "error". It is null otherwise.

    assert is write-blocking. If it throws or returns false the value of the store will not change and subscribers will not be called.

    The default/initial value is not validated.
