# @theatre/react
Utilities for using [Theatre.js](https://www.theatrejs.com) or
[Dataverse](https://github.com/theatre-js/theatre/tree/main/packages/dataverse)
with React.
## Documentation
### `useVal(pointerOrPrism)`
A React hook that returns the value of the given prism or pointer.
Usage with Dataverse pointers:
```tsx
import {Atom} from '@theatre/dataverse'
import {useVal} from '@theatre/react'
const atom = new Atom({foo: 'foo'})
function Component() {
const foo = useVal(atom.pointer.foo)
return <div>{foo}</div>
}
```
Usage with Dataverse prisms:
```tsx
import {prism} from '@theatre/dataverse'
import {useVal} from '@theatre/react'
const pr = prism(() => 'some value')
function Component() {
const value = useVal(pr)
return <div>{value}</div>
}
```
Usage with Theatre.js pointers:
```tsx
import {useVal} from '@theatre/react'
import {getProject} from '@theatre/core'
const obj = getProject('my project')
.sheet('my sheet')
.object('my object', {foo: 'default value of props.foo'})
function Component() {
const value = useVal(obj.props.foo)
return <div>obj.foo is {value}</div>
}
```
_Note that `useVal()` is a React hook, so it can only be used inside a React
component's render function. `val()` on the other hand, can be used either
inside a `prism` (which would be reactive) or anywhere where reactive values are
not needed._
### `usePrism(fn, deps)`
Creates a prism out of `fn` and subscribes the element to the value of the
created prism.
```tsx
import {Atom, val, prism} from '@theatre/dataverse'
import {usePrism} from '@theatre/react'
const state = new Atom({a: 1, b: 1})
function Component(props: {which: 'a' | 'b'}) {
const value = usePrism(
() => {
prism.isPrism() // true
// note that this function is running inside a prism, so all of prism's
// hooks (prism.memo(), prism.effect(), etc) are available
const num = val(props.which === 'a' ? state.pointer.a : state.pointer.b)
return doExpensiveComputation(num)
},
// since our prism reads `props.which`, we should include it in the deps array
[props.which],
)
return <div>{value}</div>
}
```
> Note that just like `useMemo(..., deps)`, it's necessary to provide a `deps`
> array to `usePrism()`.
### `usePrismInstance(prismInstance)`
Subscribes the element to the value of the given prism instance.
```tsx
import {Atom, val, prism} from '@theatre/dataverse'
import {usePrismInstance} from '@theatre/react'
const state = new Atom({a: 1, b: 1})
const p = prism(() => {
return val(state.pointer.a) + val(state.pointer.b)
})
function Component() {
const value = usePrismInstance(p)
return <div>{value}</div>
}
```
### `useAtom(initialValue)`
/\*\* Creates a new Atom, similar to useState(), but the component won't
re-render if the value of the atom changes.
```tsx
import {useAtom, useVal} from '@theatre/react'
import {useEffect} from 'react'
function MyComponent() {
const atom = useAtom({count: 0, ready: false})
const onClick = () =>
atom.setByPointer(
(p) => p.count,
(count) => count + 1,
)
useEffect(() => {
setTimeout(() => {
atom.setByPointer((p) => p.ready, true)
}, 1000)
}, [])
const ready = useVal(atom.pointer.ready)
if (!ready) return <div>Loading...</div>
return <button onClick={onClick}>Click me</button>
}
```
