Mobx Session helps you manage your session data providing an API to save and access your info whenever and wherever you want.
The stored data will be saved with localforage.
yarn:
yarn add mobx-session
npm:
npm install mobx-session
It's really straight forward to use.
First you must initialize the Storage. For that, you should call
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
SessionStore.initialize();
This should be called before any other method call, so I would recommend putting it on the index.js or App of your site, or in the top of another Store that uses SessionStore (like in this example).
There are several config options to customize this method, go to the API doc to see more.
For example
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
SessionStore.initialize({ name: 'my-app-name' });
Then, you can use it wherever you want.
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
const MyComponent = observer(() => {
if (SessionStore.initialized) {
return (
<div>
{
SessionStore.hasSession
? <p>Hello!</p>
: <p>Login</p>
}
</div>
);
}
return null;
})
You can use the decorator syntax
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
@observer
const MyComponent = () => {
if (SessionStore.initialized) {
return (
<div>
{
SessionStore.hasSession
? <p>Hello!</p>
: <p>Login</p>
}
</div>
);
}
return null;
}
TIP: don't forget to make your component an observer so you don't lose the reference.
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
class UserStore {
constructor() {
extendObservable(this, {
user: null,
get loggedIn() {
return this.user !== null && SessionStore.hasSession;
},
});
}
......
}
You can also use the decorator syntax
import SessionStore from 'mobx-session';
class UserStore {
@observable user = null;
@computed get loggedIn() {
return this.user !== null && SessionStore.hasSession;
}
......
}
TIP: inside a store, don't forget to use it inside a computed value or an auto-run so you don't loose the reference.
Initialize an instance of the storage inside the session.
Options can be the ones listed in the localforage library
Saves the session object in the store and storage
Deletes the session object from the store and the storage
Returns the session object saved if there's any
Returns true if the session store has been initialized. Could be useful to check this property before relying on other methods or properties from the store.
Returns true if there's a session object saved and false if there's not.
