Module Bonsai_web.Effect
Source
include module type of Virtual_dom.Vdom.Effect
include module type of struct include Ui_effect end
'a Effect.t
represents some computation of type 'a
that can be performed outside of the typical computational/incremental structure of a Bonsai program . Examples of this computation might be:
- Calling an RPC and getting the result back
- Running expensive computation on a web-worker thread
- Requesting some information from the imperative "Start.Handle"-holding code
If you have a value of type 'a Effect.t
, you can schedule it to be run by calling inject
and providing a function that will be called when the callback completes.
include Base.Monad.S with type 'a t := 'a t
t >>= f
returns a computation that sequences the computations represented by two monad elements. The resulting computation first does t
to yield a value v
, and then runs the computation returned by f v
.
module Monad_infix = Ui_effect.Monad_infix
val return : 'a -> 'a t
return v
returns the (trivial) computation that returns v.
ignore_m t
is map t ~f:(fun _ -> ())
. ignore_m
used to be called ignore
, but we decided that was a bad name, because it shadowed the widely used Stdlib.ignore
. Some monads still do let ignore = ignore_m
for historical reasons.
Like all
, but ensures that every monadic value in the list produces a unit value, all of which are discarded rather than being collected into a list.
module Let_syntax = Ui_effect.Let_syntax
If creating an effect could be expensive, you can wrap its construction in a lazy and pass it to this function so that its construction will be deferred until it's about to be evaluated.
Prints the sexp when scheduled.
of_sync_fun
is similar to of_deferred_fun
but with a synchronous function instead of a deferred one. This can be used for functions that are synchronous but side-effecting, or as a mock-function in tests that replace the usages of of_deferred_fun
in the actual app.
Note that, unlike of_deferred_fun
, the function must return immediately, so it's not possible to test the behaviour of tour app between calling the function and the effect becoming 'determined'. If you need to do this, see of_svar
and of_query_response_tracker
below.

| Viewport_changed

(*

(*
*)Prevent_default
prevents the default browser action from occurring as a result of this event
Sequences two events, but only if the first is neither Stop_immediate_propagation
nor a Many
which contains Stop_immediate_propagation
. Use this instead of Many
if combining events that are associated with the same source; for example, the motivation for this function is for merging Inputs of hooks.
The second argument is a function that takes unit not because it is expected to be impure, but because often it is computed via some arbitrary handler function. Using hooks as an example, often the input to a hook has type 'a -> Effect.t
. To merge inputs f
and g
, you might write
fun x -> sequence_as_sibling (f x) (g x)
but this might unnecessarily call g
if f
returns something with Stop_immediate_propagation
. Instead, using this API, you must write
fun x -> sequence_as_sibling (f x) (fun () -> (g x))
For registering a handler for Viewport_changed events. Note that if this functor is called multiple times, each handler will see all of the events.
of_deferred_fun
is a way to convert from a deferred-returning function to an effect-returning function. This function is commonly used to wrap RPC calls. Memory is allocated permanently every time that of_deferred_fun
is called, so be sure to re-use the function inside the Staged.t!
