A JavaScript library for transactional mutable updates

mutability

A JavaScript library for transactional mutable updates.

Motivation

When we want to perform transactional updates on a mutable object, if an error is caught during the update process, the mutable update will not be applied at all. Otherwise, the mutable update will be applied to the mutable object. Therefore, we need a tool to implement this functionality.

Installation

yarn add mutative mutability

or with npm

npm install mutative mutability

Usage

import { mutate } from 'mutability';

test('base - mutate', () => {
  const baseState = {
    a: {
      c: 1,
    },
  };
  mutate(baseState, (draft) => {
    draft.a.c = 2;
  });
  expect(baseState).toEqual({ a: { c: 2 } });
});

test('base - mutate with error', () => {
  const baseState = {
    a: {
      c: 1,
    },
    b: {
      c: 1,
    },
  };
  try {
    mutate(baseState, (draft) => {
      draft.a.c = 2;
      throw new Error('error');
      draft.b.c = 2;
    });
  } catch (e) {
    //
  }
  expect(baseState).toEqual({
    a: {
      c: 1,
    },
    b: {
      c: 1,
    },
  });
});
