Update input value from mobx store with debounce


I have a MobX store and 2 Components, connected to the same value:

import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx';
import { observer } from 'mobx-react-lite';

const store = makeAutoObservable({
  value: 0,
  setValue: (v) => {
    this.value = v;
  },
});

const ComponentOne = observer(() => {
  function handleOnChange(e) {
    store.setValue(e.target.value);
  }

  return <input value={store.value} onChange={handleOnChange} />;
});

const ComponentTwo = observer(() => {
  function handleOnChange(e) {
    store.setValue(e.target.value);
  }

  return <input value={store.value} onChange={handleOnChange} />;
});

I need:

  1. Changing the input value of <ComponentOne/> should cause the input value in <ComponentTwo/> to be updated from the new store value
  2. Storing data into MobX storage from Components should be done with debounce.

Solution

  • My Solution:

    import { makeAutoObservable } from 'mobx';
    import { observer } from 'mobx-react-lite';
    import { useDebouncedCallback } from 'use-debounce';
    
    const store = makeAutoObservable({
      value: 0,
      setValue: (v) => {
        this.value = v;
      },
    });
    
    export function useStoreValue() {
      const storeValue = store.value;
      const setStoreValue = store.setValue;
      const [value, setValue] = useState(storeValue);
    
      // eslint-disable-next-line object-curly-newline
      const debouncedSetStoreValue = useDebouncedCallback(setStoreValue, 350, { maxWait: 1000 });
    
      useEffect(
        () => {
          if (storeValue !== value) {
            debouncedSetStoreValue(value);
          }
        },
        // eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
        [value]
      );
    
      useEffect(() => {
        setValue(storeValue);
      }, [storeValue]);
    
      return [value, setValue];
    }
    
    const ComponentOne = observer(() => {
      const [value, setValue] = useStoreValue();
    
      function handleOnChange(e) {
        setValue(e.target.value);
      }
    
      return <input value={value} onChange={handleOnChange} />;
    });
    
    const ComponentTwo = observer(() => {
      const [value, setValue] = useStoreValue();
    
      function handleOnChange(e) {
        setValue(e.target.value);
      }
    
      return <input value={value} onChange={handleOnChange} />;
    });
