vue-context-ts

Type-safe wrapper around default vue provide/inject functions

Installation

npm i vue-context-ts

API

const context = new Context(options);

options

Property	Default value	Description
key	-	key for default provide/inject functions
defaultValue	-	Default value of your context
isNullishAllowed	false	Allows nullish values in context
isDefaultAsFactory	false	Allows using a factory function as default value

Usage

Create context with defined defaultValue

const context = new Context({ key: Symbol('key'), defaultValue: 1 });

Create context without defined defaultValue

If you do not want to pass defaultValue when creating a context, use static method valueType from Context to specify type of value you expect

const context = new Context({
  key: Symbol('key'),
  defaultValue: Context.valueType<string>(),
});

// Provide a value from a vue component

context.provide('random string');
/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  `provide` expects a value of type `string` (as specified in `Context.valueType`)
*/

// Inject a value into a vue component

const value = context.inject();
/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  `value` is of type `string` (as specified in `Context.valueType`)
  If `context.inject` is used without `context.provide`, an error will be thrown
*/

If undefined or null value should be allowed, set isNullishAllowed option to true

const context = new Context({
  key: 'key',
  defaultValue: 'random string',
  isNullishAllowed: true,
});

// Provide a value from a vue component

context.provide(null);
/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  `provide` expects a value of type `string` (inferred from default value) or `null` or `undefined` (because `isNullishAllowed` is `true`)
*/

// Inject a value into a vue component

const value = context.inject();
/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  `value` is of type `string` (inferred from default value) or `null` or `undefined` (because `isNullishAllowed` is `true`)
*/

You can also use factory function as default value

const context = new Context({
  key: 'key',
  defaultValue: () => 1,
  isDefaultAsFactory: true,
});

// Inject a value into a vue component

const value = context.inject();
/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  `value` is of type `number` (inferred from return value of factory function)
*/
