A set of general utilities for the lifecycle of a JS/TS project/library
npm install --save lifecycle-utilsThis is an ESM package, so you can only use
importto import it, and cannot userequire
Calling withLock with the same scope and key will ensure that the callback inside cannot run in parallel to other calls with the same scope and key.
import {withLock} from "lifecycle-utils";
const scope = {}; // can be a reference to any object you like
const startTime = Date.now();
async function doSomething(index: number): number {
return await withLock(scope, "myKey", async () => {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
console.log("index:", index, "time:", Date.now() - startTime);
return 42;
});
}
const res = await Promise.all([
doSomething(1),
doSomething(2),
doSomething(3)
]);
// index: 1 time: 1000
// index: 2 time: 2000
// index: 3 time: 3000
console.log(res); // [42, 42, 42]The given scope is used as the callback's this, so you can use its value in a function:
import {withLock} from "lifecycle-utils";
const scope = {userName: "Joe"}; // can be a reference to any object you like
const res = await withLock(scope, "myKey", async function () {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
return `Hello ${this.userName}`;
});
console.log(res); // Hello JoeCheck whether a lock is currently active for the given scope and key.
import {isLockActive} from "lifecycle-utils";
const scope = {}; // can be a reference to any object you like
const res = isLockActive(scope, "myKey");
console.log(res); // falseAcquire a lock for the given scope and key.
import {acquireLock} from "lifecycle-utils";
const scope = {}; // can be a reference to any object you like
const activeLock = await acquireLock(scope, "myKey");
console.log("lock acquired");
// ... do some work
activeLock.dispose();Wait for a lock to be released for a given scope and key.
import {waitForLockRelease} from "lifecycle-utils";
const scope = {}; // can be a reference to any object you like
await waitForLockRelease(scope, "myKey");
console.log("lock is released");A simple event relay.
Create a listener with createListener and dispatch events with dispatchEvent.
For each supported event type, create a new instance of EventRelay and expose it as a property.
For example, this code:
import {EventRelay} from "lifecycle-utils";
class MyClass {
public readonly onSomethingHappened = new EventRelay<string>();
public doSomething(whatToDo: string) {
this.onSomethingHappened.dispatchEvent(whatToDo);
console.log("Done notifying listeners");
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onSomethingHappened.createListener((whatHappened) => {
console.log(`Something happened: ${whatHappened}`);
});
myClass.doSomething("eat a cookie");Will print this:
Something happened: eat a cookie
Done notifying listeners
DisposeAggregator is a utility class that allows you to add multiple items and then dispose them all at once.
You can add a function to call, an object with a dispose method, or an object with a Symbol.dispose method.
To dispose all the items, call dispose or use the Symbol.dispose symbol.
import {DisposeAggregator, EventRelay} from "lifecycle-utils";
const disposeAggregator = new DisposeAggregator();
const eventRelay = new EventRelay<string>();
disposeAggregator.add(eventRelay);
const eventRelay2 = disposeAggregator.add(new EventRelay<string>());
disposeAggregator.dispose();
console.log(eventRelay.disposed === true); // true
console.log(eventRelay2.disposed === true); // trueAsyncDisposeAggregator is a utility class that allows you to add multiple items and then dispose them all at once.
The items are disposed one by one in the order they were added.
You can add a function to call, an object with a dispose method, an object with a Symbol.dispose method,
an object with a Symbol.asyncDispose method, or a Promise that resolves to one of the previous types.
To dispose all the items, call dispose or use the Symbol.asyncDispose symbol.
The difference between AsyncDisposeAggregator and DisposeAggregator is that AsyncDisposeAggregator can dispose async targets.
import {AsyncDisposeAggregator, EventRelay} from "lifecycle-utils";
const disposeAggregator = new AsyncDisposeAggregator();
const eventRelay = new EventRelay<string>();
disposeAggregator.add(eventRelay);
disposeAggregator.add(async () => {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
// do some async work
});
disposeAggregator.dispose();A timeout that can be set to a delay longer than the maximum timeout delay supported by a regular setTimeout.
import {LongTimeout} from "lifecycle-utils";
const month = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 30;
const timeout = new LongTimeout(() => {
console.log("timeout");
}, month);
// to clear the timeout, call dispose
// timeout.dispose();Sets a timeout that can also be set to a delay longer than the maximum timeout delay supported by a regular setTimeout.
You can use clearLongTimeout to clear the timeout.
import {setLongTimeout, clearLongTimeout} from "lifecycle-utils";
const month = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 30;
const timeout = setLongTimeout(() => {
console.log("timeout");
}, month);
// to clear the timeout, call clearLongTimeout
// clearLongTimeout(timeout);Clears a timeout that was set with setLongTimeout.
You can also clear a regular timeout with this function.
import {setLongTimeout, clearLongTimeout} from "lifecycle-utils";
const month = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 30;
const timeout = setLongTimeout(() => {
console.log("timeout");
}, month);
const timeout2 = setTimeout(() => {
console.log("timeout2");
}, 1000 * 60);
clearLongTimeout(timeout);
clearLongTimeout(timeout2);State is a utility class that allows you to hold a value and notify listeners when the value changes.
import {State} from "lifecycle-utils";
const valueState = new State<number>(6);
const eventHandle = valueState.createChangeListener((newValue, previousValue) => {
console.log("new value:", newValue);
console.log("previous value:", previousValue);
});
valueState.state = 7;
// after a microtask, the listener will be called
// to make event fire immediately upon change, disable the `queueEvents` option on the constructor
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
// will print:
// new value: 7
// previous value: 6
eventHandle.dispose();Create a listener that listens to multiple states and calls the callback when any of the states change.
import {State} from "lifecycle-utils";
const valueState1 = new State<number>(6);
const valueState2 = new State<string>("hello");
const valueState3 = new State<boolean>(true);
const eventHandle = State.createCombinedChangeListener([valueState1, valueState2, valueState3], (newValues, previousValues) => {
console.log("new values:", newValues);
console.log("previous values:", previousValues);
});
valueState1.state = 7;
valueState2.state = "world";
valueState3.state = false;
// after a microtask, the listener will be called
// to make event fire immediately upon change, disable the `queueEvents` option on the constructor
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
// will print:
// new values: [7, "world", false]
// previous values: [6, "hello", true]
eventHandle.dispose();Split a text by multiple separators, and return a result of the text and separators.
const parts = splitText("Hello <and> world [then] !", ["<and>", "[then]"]);
console.log(parts); // ["Hello ", new Separator("<and>"), " world ", new Separator("[then]"), " !"]To contribute to lifecycle-utils see CONTRIBUTING.md.
