# Guide: Using `@data-client` Managers for global side effects [Managers](references/managers.md) are singletons that handle global side-effects. Kind of like useEffect() for the central data store. They interface with the store using [Controller](references/Controller.md), and [redux middleware](https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-4-store#middleware) is run in response to [actions](references/Actions.md). ## Single Responsibility One concern per Manager; compose many small managers (e.g. transport, subscriptions, logging, auth) rather than one large one. ## Use cases Minimal working examples for each use case live in [references/managers.md](references/managers.md) (see the named section) unless another file is linked: | Use case | Reference | Key technique | | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Logging actions/state | "Middleware logging" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | log around `await next(action)` | | Error reporting/monitoring (Sentry) | "Error reporting" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | `SET_RESPONSE` with `action.error` | | Analytics/metrics (fetch timing) | "Metrics" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | `FETCH` action's `action.meta.promise` | | Toast notifications on mutations | "Notifications" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | `SET_RESPONSE` with `action.endpoint.sideEffect` | | Refetch on window focus / network reconnect | "Refresh on focus or reconnect" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | `controller.expireAll()` from event listeners in `init()`/`cleanup()` | | Cross-tab sync | "Cross-tab synchronization" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | BroadcastChannel + `controller.expireAll()` | | Offline persistence (IndexedDB) | "Offline persistence" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | debounced IndexedDB write of `controller.getState()` (drop `optimistic` - not cloneable); restore via DataProvider `initialState`. Never use localStorage (blocking) | | Websocket/SSE push streams | "Middleware data stream" in [managers.md](references/managers.md) | `controller.set()` on message; connect in `init()`, close in `cleanup()` | | Polling/interval updates (ticker) | "Dispatching Actions" in [Manager.md](references/Manager.md); `TimeManager` below | `setInterval` + `controller.set()` | | Custom transport subscriptions | "Reading and Consuming Actions" in [Manager.md](references/Manager.md) | consume `SUBSCRIBE`/`UNSUBSCRIBE` without calling `next` | | Auth: logout on 401, reset store on deauth | [LogoutManager.md](references/LogoutManager.md) | `handleLogout(controller)` + `controller.resetEntireStore()` | ## References For detailed API documentation, see the [references](references/) directory: - [Manager](references/Manager.md) - Manager interface and lifecycle - [Actions](references/Actions.md) - Action types and payloads - [Controller](references/Controller.md) - Imperative actions - [LogoutManager](references/LogoutManager.md) - Handling logout/cleanup - [getDefaultManagers](references/getDefaultManagers.md) - Default manager configuration - [managers](references/managers.md) - Managers concept guide Always use `actionTypes` when comparing action.type. Refer to [Actions](references/Actions.md) for list of actions and their payloads. ## Dispatching actions [Controller](references/Controller.md) has dispatchers: ctrl.fetch(), ctrl.fetchIfStale(), ctrl.expireAll(), ctrl.invalidate(), ctrl.invalidateAll(), ctrl.setResponse(), ctrl.set(), ctrl.setError(), ctrl.resetEntireStore(), ctrl.subscribe(), ctrl.unsubscribe(). ```ts import type { Manager, Middleware } from '@data-client/core'; import CurrentTime from './CurrentTime'; export default class TimeManager implements Manager { declare protected intervalID?: ReturnType<typeof setInterval>; middleware: Middleware = controller => { this.intervalID = setInterval(() => { controller.set(CurrentTime, { id: 1 }, { id: 1, time: Date.now() }); }, 1000); return next => async action => next(action); }; cleanup() { clearInterval(this.intervalID); } } ``` ## Reading and Consuming Actions [Controller](references/Controller.md) has data accessors: ctrl.getResponse(), ctrl.getState(), ctrl.get(), ctrl.getError(), ctrl.snapshot(). ```ts import type { Manager, Middleware } from '@data-client/react'; import { actionTypes } from '@data-client/react'; export default class LoggingManager implements Manager { middleware: Middleware = controller => next => async action => { switch (action.type) { case actionTypes.SET_RESPONSE: if (action.endpoint.sideEffect) { console.info( `${action.endpoint.name} ${JSON.stringify(action.response)}`, ); // wait for state update to be committed to React await next(action); // get the data from the store, which may be merged with existing state const { data } = controller.getResponse( action.endpoint, ...action.args, controller.getState(), ); console.info(`${action.endpoint.name} ${JSON.stringify(data)}`); return; } // actions must be explicitly passed to next middleware default: return next(action); } }; cleanup() {} } ``` Always use `actionTypes` members to check action.type. `actionTypes` has: FETCH, SET, SET_RESPONSE, RESET, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, INVALIDATE, INVALIDATEALL, EXPIREALL [actions](references/Actions.md) docs details the action types and their payloads. ## Consuming actions ```ts import type { Manager, Middleware, EntityInterface } from '@data-client/react'; import { actionTypes } from '@data-client/react'; import isEntity from './isEntity'; export default class CustomSubsManager implements Manager { declare protected entities: Record<string, EntityInterface>; middleware: Middleware = controller => next => async action => { switch (action.type) { case actionTypes.SUBSCRIBE: case actionTypes.UNSUBSCRIBE: const { schema } = action.endpoint; // only process registered entities if (schema && isEntity(schema) && schema.key in this.entities) { if (action.type === actionTypes.SUBSCRIBE) { this.subscribe(schema.key, action.args[0]?.product_id); } else { this.unsubscribe(schema.key, action.args[0]?.product_id); } // consume subscription to prevent it from being processed by other managers return Promise.resolve(); } default: return next(action); } }; cleanup() {} subscribe(channel: string, product_id: string) {} unsubscribe(channel: string, product_id: string) {} } ``` ## Usage ```tsx import { DataProvider, getDefaultManagers } from '@data-client/react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; const managers = [...getDefaultManagers(), new MyManager()]; ReactDOM.createRoot(document.body).render( <DataProvider managers={managers}> <App /> </DataProvider>, ); ```
