//! Example: Tasks //! -------------- //! //! Built around the same system that powers suspense, Dioxus also allows users to write arbitrary tasks that can modify //! state asynchronously. `use_task` takes a future and returns a task handle and an option that holds the tasks's return //! value. When the task completes, the component will re-render with the result freshly available. //! //! Tasks don't necessarily need to complete, however. It would be completely reasonable to wire up a websocket receiver //! in a task and have it work infinitely while the app is running. If the socket throws an error, the task could complete //! and the UI could present a helpful error message. //! //! Tasks also return the `TaskHandle` type which lets other component logic start, stop, and restart the task at any time. //! Tasks are very much like an async-flavoroued coroutine, making them incredibly powerful. //! //! Tasks must be valid for the 'static lifetime, so any state management neeeds to be cloned into the closure. `use_state` //! has a method called `for_async` which generates an AsyncUseState wrapper. This has a very similar API to the regualr //! `use_state` but is `static. //! //! Remeber `use_task` is a hook! Don't call it out of order or in loops. You might aaccidentally swap the task handles //! and break things in subtle ways. //! //! Whenever a component is scheduled for deletion, the task is dropped. Make sure that whatever primitives used in the //! task have a valid drop implementation and won't leave resources tied up. use dioxus::prelude::*; pub static Example: Component = |cx| { let count = use_state(&cx, || 0); let mut direction = use_state(&cx, || 1); // Tasks are 'static, so we need to copy relevant items in let (async_count, dir) = (count.for_async(), *direction); let (task, result) = use_task(cx, move || async move { loop { gloo_timers::future::TimeoutFuture::new(250).await; *async_count.get_mut() += dir; } }); cx.render(rsx! { div { h1 {"count is {count}"} button { "Stop counting" onclick: move |_| task.stop() } button { "Start counting" onclick: move |_| task.resume() } button { "Switch counting direcion" onclick: move |_| { direction *= -1; task.restart(); } } } }) };
