🌀State Management

Managing context, state and hooks

Context API

Context provides a way to pass data through the component tree without having to pass props down manually at every level.

We are using context for login methods - Auth0, JWT, Firebase, AWS.

SWR

SWR is a popular library for data fetching and state management in React applications. Data fetching is covered in the Axios API calls section. Here, we are going to cover state management using SWR.

Mantis is managing the state of following using SWR

1. Snackbar states

2. Menu states

3. E-commerce Cart

1. Snackbar

Snackbar is used to show notifications in the application. Whenever a component dispatches an action with data to show a snackbar, it appears in the app. The initial state of the snackbar is being captured using useSWR hooks, and after that, we are mutating its state based on action calls. The following is the initial state:

VITE(TS)

src/api/snackbar.ts

const initialState: SnackbarProps = {
  action: false,
  open: false,
  message: 'Note archived',
  anchorOrigin: {
    vertical: 'bottom',
    horizontal: 'right'
  },
  severity: 'success',
  variant: 'default',
  alert: {
    variant: 'filled'
  },
  transition: 'Fade',
  close: false,
  actionButton: false,
  maxStack: 3,
  dense: false,
  iconVariant: 'usedefault'
};

VITE(JS)

These values have been initialised using useSWR like below:

VITE(TS)

src/api/snackbar.ts

export function useGetSnackbar() {
  const { data } = useSWR(endpoints.key, () => initialState, {
    revalidateIfStale: false,
    revalidateOnFocus: false,
    revalidateOnReconnect: false
  });

  const memoizedValue = useMemo(() => ({ snackbar: data! }), [data]);

  return memoizedValue;
}

VITE(JS)

Now, how to read these values and update them as well.

To read the values and listen, following the SWR hooks is sufficient in the component. Whenever any changes happen, it is activated like a redux selector and acts based on logic.

VITE(TS)

src/components/@extended /Snackbar.tsx

...
import { closeSnackbar, useGetSnackbar } from 'api/snackbar';
...

// animation options
const animation: KeyedObject = {
  SlideLeft: TransitionSlideLeft,
  SlideUp: TransitionSlideUp,
  SlideRight: TransitionSlideRight,
  SlideDown: TransitionSlideDown,
  Grow: GrowTransition,
  Fade
};

// ==============================|| SNACKBAR ||============================== //

export default function Snackbar() {
  const { snackbar } = useGetSnackbar();
  ...
  ...
};

VITE(JS)

To open the Snack bar, we need to change the value and mutate the state. Here is how it is done

VITE(TS)

src/api/snackbar.ts

export function openSnackbar(snackbar: SnackbarProps) {
  // to update local state based on key

  const { action, open, message, anchorOrigin, variant, alert, transition, close, actionButton } = snackbar;

  mutate(
    endpoints.key,
    (currentSnackbar: any) => {
      return {
        ...currentSnackbar,
        action: action || initialState.action,
        open: open || initialState.open,
        message: message || initialState.message,
        anchorOrigin: anchorOrigin || initialState.anchorOrigin,
        variant: variant || initialState.variant,
        severity: severity || initialState.severity,
        alert: { variant: alert?.variant || initialState.alert.variant },
        transition: transition || initialState.transition,
        close: close || initialState.close,
        actionButton: actionButton || initialState.actionButton
      };
    },
    false
  );
}

VITE(JS)

Then the method openSnackbar will be called from components to open the snackbar.

VITE (TS)

src/pages/apps/invoice /create.tsx

...
import { openSnackbar } from 'api/snackbar';
// types
import { SnackbarProps } from 'types/snackbar';
...

// ==============================|| INVOICE - CREATE ||============================== //

const Create = () => {
  ...
  const handlerCreate = (values: any) => {
    const newList: InvoiceList = {
      ...
    };
    ...
    openSnackbar({
      open: true,
      message: 'Invoice Added successfully',
      anchorOrigin: { vertical: 'top', horizontal: 'right' },
      variant: 'alert',
      alert: {
        color: 'success'
      }
    } as SnackbarProps);
    ...
  };



  return (
    <MainCard>
      ...
    </MainCard>
  );
};

export default Create;
