FetchyeProvider Install

💡 When you want a central cache but no extra dependencies

Pros

  • Easy
  • Shared Cache
  • De-duplication of API calls

Cons

  • No Redux Dev Tools for debugging and cache inspection
  • Limited centralized server-side data hydration support

Install fetchye:

npm i -S fetchye

Add the <FetchyeProvider /> component:

import { FetchyeProvider } from 'fetchye';

const ParentComponent = ({ children }) => (
  <FetchyeProvider>
    {/* Use your Router to supply children components containing useFetchye */}
    {children}
  </FetchyeProvider>
);

In a child React Component, do useFetchye queries:

// ...
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/profile');
  return (
    !isLoading && (
      <p>{data?.body.name}</p>
    )
  );
};

FetchyeReduxProvider Install

💡 When you want a central cache integrated with a Redux based project

Pros

  • Easy if you know Redux
  • Shared Cache
  • De-duplication of API calls
  • Redux Dev Tools for debugging and cache inspection
  • Excellent centralized server-side data hydration support

Cons

  • More steps and dependencies

Add fetchye and its needed optional dependencies:

npm i -S fetchye redux react-redux

Add the <FetchyeReduxProvider /> component under the Redux <Provider />:

import React from 'react';
import { createStore } from 'redux';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { FetchyeReduxProvider } from 'fetchye-redux-provider';
import { SimpleCache } from 'fetchye';

const fetchyeCache = SimpleCache({
  // Need to tell Fetchye where the cache reducer will be located
  cacheSelector: (state) => state,
});
const store = createStore(fetchyeCache.reducer);

const ParentComponent = ({ children }) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <FetchyeReduxProvider cache={fetchyeCache}>
      {/* Use your Router to supply children components containing useFetchye */}
      {children}
    </FetchyeReduxProvider>
  </Provider>
);

In a child React Component, do useFetchye queries:

// ...
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/profile');
  return (
    !isLoading && (
      <p>{data.body.name}</p>
    )
  );
};

One App Install

💡 For when you use the One App Micro-Frontend Framework

Pros

  • Shared Cache
  • De-duplication of API calls
  • Redux Dev Tools for debugging and cache inspection
  • Excellent centralized server-side data hydration support
  • Shared Cache between Micro Frontend Holocron Modules
  • Immutable Redux State
  • Minimal configuration

Cons

  • More steps and dependencies
npm i -S fetchye fetchye-one-app

fetchye-one-app provides pre-configured provider, cache, oneFetchye and oneCacheSelector to ensure that all modules use the same cache and reduce the chance for cache misses. These all have restricted APIs to reduce the chance for misconfiguration however if you require more control/customization use ImmutableCache, FetchyeReduxProvider and makeServerFetchye. Please bear in mind that this can impact modules which are do not use the same configuration.

Add the <OneFetchyeProvider /> component from fetchye-one-app to your Root Holocron Module, and add the reducer from OneCache scoped under fetchye:

// ...
import { combineReducers } from 'redux-immutable';
import { OneFetchyeProvider, OneCache } from 'fetchye-one-app';

const MyModuleRoot = ({ children }) => (
  <>
    { /* OneFetchyeProvider is configured to use OneCache */}
    <OneFetchyeProvider>
      {/* Use your Router to supply children components containing useFetchye */}
      {children}
    </OneFetchyeProvider>
  </>
);

// ...

MyModuleRoot.holocron = {
  name: 'my-module-root',
  reducer: combineReducers({
    // ensure you scope the reducer under "fetchye", this is important
    // to ensure that child modules can make use of the single cache
    fetchye: OneCache().reducer,
    // ... other reducers
  }),
};

In a child React Component or Holocron Module, do useFetchye queries:

// ...
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/profile');
  return (
    !isLoading && (
      <p>{data?.body.name}</p>
    )
  );
};

This minimal configuration works as the provider, cache and makeOneServerFetchye, mentioned later, all follow expected conventions.

🤹‍ Usage

Real-World Example

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const BookList = ({ genre }) => {
  const { isLoading, error, data } = useFetchye(`http://example.com/api/books/?genre=${genre}`, {
    headers: {
      'X-Some-Tracer-Id': 1234,
    },
  });

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  if (error || data.status !== 200) {
    return (<p>Oops!</p>);
  }

  return (
    <>
      <h1>Books by {genre}</h1>
      <ul>
        {data.body.map((book) => (
          <li key={book.id}>{book.title} by {book.author}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </>
  );
};

Deferred execution

When you need to delay execution of a useFetchye call, you may use { defer: true } option. This is great for forms:

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const NewBookForm = () => {
  const { formData, onChange } = useSomeFormHandler();
  const { isLoading, run } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books', {
    // include defer here
    defer: true,
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      ...formData,
    }),
  });

  const onSubmit = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const { data, error } = await run();
    // Check to make sure no error and data.status === 200 for success
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
      {/* ...form elements using onChange */}
      {/* Hide Submit button when sending POST request */}
      {!isLoading && <button type="submit">Submit</button>}
    </form>
  );
};

Abort Inflight Requests

When you neeed to abort the execution of requests inflight, passing a signal from the Abort Controller API to useFetchye as an option will enable this.

Considering useFetchye is a wrapper around fetch, passing a signal is the same and provides the same functionality as demonstrated below.

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const AbortComponent = () => {
  const controller = new AbortController();
  useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books', { signal: controller.signal });

  useEffect(() => () => controller.abort(), []);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>abortable component</h1>
    </div>
  );
};

Instead of setting up a useEffect within the component it's possible to pass a hook to signal using packages such as use-unmount-signal.

Sequential API Execution

Passing the 'isLoading' value from one useFetchye call to the 'defer' field of the next will prevent the second call from being made until the first has loaded.

To ensure the second api call is properly formed, you should also check that the data you expect from the first call exists:

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const MyFavoriteBook = () => {
  const {
    isLoading: loadingProfile,
    error: profileError,
    data: profile,
  } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/profile');

  const profileHasBookId = !loadingProfile && profile?.body?.favoriteBookId;
  const {
    isLoading: loadingBook,
    error: bookError,
    data: favoriteBook,
  } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books', {
    defer: !profileHasBookId,
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
      bookId: profile?.body?.favoriteBookId,
    }),
  });

  if (loadingProfile) {
    return (<p>Loading Profile...</p>);
  }
  if (profileError || profile.status !== 200) {
    return (<p>Oops!</p>);
  }
  if (loadingBook) {
    return (<p>Loading Favourite Book...</p>);
  }
  if (bookError || favoriteBook.status !== 200) {
    return (<p>Oops!</p>);
  }

  return (
    favoriteBook.status === 200 && (
      <>
        <h1>My Favorite Book</h1>
        <h2>{favoriteBook.body.title}</h2>
      </>
    )
  );
};

Alternatively, you can pass a function as the first parameter to useFetchye, if this function throws an exception, or returns a falsy value, the call will automatically be 'deferred' until the function does not throw.

This only works if the sequential data is passed to the second call in the url.

In this example, the function will throw Cannot read properties of undefined when trying to access 'favoriteBookId' in the non-existent body of the profile:

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const MyFavoriteBook = () => {
  const {
    isLoading: loadingProfile,
    error: profileError,
    data: profile,
  } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/profile');
  const {
    isLoading: loadingBook,
    error: bookError,
    data: favoriteBook,
  } = useFetchye(() => `http://example.com/api/books/${profile.body.favoriteBookId}`);

  if (loadingProfile) {
    return (<p>Loading Profile...</p>);
  }
  if (profileError || profile.status !== 200) {
    return (<p>Oops!</p>);
  }
  if (loadingBook) {
    return (<p>Loading Favourite Book...</p>);
  }
  if (bookError || favoriteBook.status !== 200) {
    return (<p>Oops!</p>);
  }

  return (
    favoriteBook.status === 200 && (
      <>
        <h1>My Favorite Book</h1>
        <h2>{favoriteBook.body.title}</h2>
      </>
    )
  );
};

Refreshing

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const BookList = ({ genre }) => {
  const {
    isLoading,
    data: booksData,
    run,
  } = useFetchye(`http://example.com/api/books/?genre=${genre}`);

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    <>
      {/* Render booksData */}
      <button type="button" onClick={() => run()}>Refresh</button>
    </>
  );
};

Custom Fetcher

Custom fetchers allow for creating reusable data fetching logic for specific APIs or custom needs. They allow for a centrally provided fetchClient which wraps that client on a per useFetchye request basis.

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const graphqlFetcher = async (fetchClient, key, options) => {
  let res;
  let payload;
  let error;
  try {
    res = await fetchClient('https://example.com/graphql', {
      ...options,
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'X-Correlation-Id': 12345,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      // The key contains the GraphQL object request rather than a URL in this case
      body: JSON.stringify(key),
    });
    // GraphQL Response
    const { data, errors } = await res.json();
    // Pass through GraphQL Data
    payload = {
      data,
      ok: res.ok,
      status: res.status,
    };
    // Assign GraphQL errors to error
    error = errors;
  } catch (requestError) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line no-console -- error useful to developer in specific error case
    console.error(requestError);
    error = requestError;
  }
  return {
    payload,
    error,
  };
};

const BookList = ({ genre }) => {
  const { isLoading, data: booksData, run } = useFetchye({
    query: `
      query BookList($genre: Genre) {
        book(genre: $genre) {
          title
          author
        }
      }
      `,
    variables: { genre },
  }, {}, graphqlFetcher);

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    <>
      {/* Render booksData */}
      <button type="button" onClick={() => run()}>Refresh</button>
    </>
  );
};

Controlling the Cache Key

By passing mapKeyToCacheKey as an option you can customize the cacheKey without affecting the key. This allows you to control the cacheKey directly to enable advanced behaviour in your cache.

Note: This option can lead to unexpected behaviour in many cases. Customizing the cacheKey in this way could lead to accidental collisions that lead to fetchye providing the 'wrong' cache for some of your calls, or unnecessary cache-misses causing significant performance degradation.

In this example the client can dynamically switch between http and https depending on the needs of the user, but should keep the same cache key.

Therefore, mapKeyToCacheKey is defined to transform the url to always have the same protocol in the cacheKey.

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';

const BookList = ({ ssl }) => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye(`${ssl ? 'https' : 'http'}://example.com/api/books/`,
    {
      mapKeyToCacheKey: (key) => key.replace('https://', 'http://'),
    }
  );

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    {/* Render data */ }
  );
};

Passing dynamic headers

When you call the run function returned from useFetchye, it will use the values last rendered into the hook.

This means any correlationId, timestamp, or any other unique dynamic header you might want sent to the server will use its previous value.

To overcome this, you can specify a function instead of a headers object in the options.

This function will be called, to re-make the headers just before an API call is made, even when you call run.

Note: If you don't want the dynamic headers to result in a cache miss, you must remove the keys of the dynamic headers from the options using mapOptionsToKey (see example below that uses the ignoreHeadersByKey helper).

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye, ignoreHeadersByKey } from 'fetchye';
import uuid from 'uuid';

const BookList = () => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books/', {
    // remove the 'correlationId' header from the headers, as its the only dynamic header
    mapOptionsToKey: ignoreHeadersByKey(['correlationId']),
    headers: () => ({
      // static headers are still fine, and can be specified here like normal
      staticHeader: 'staticValue',
      // This header will be generated fresh for every call out of the system
      correlationId: uuid(),
    }),
  });

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    {/* Render data */ }
  );
};

export default BookList;

SSR

One App SSR

Using oneFetchye from fetchye-one-app ensures that the cache will always be configured correctly.

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye } from 'fetchye';
import { oneFetchye } from 'fetchye-one-app';

const BookList = () => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books/');

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    {/* Render data */ }
  );
};

BookList.holocron = {
  loadModuleData: async ({ store: { dispatch } }) => {
    if (global.BROWSER) {
      return;
    }

    // oneFetchye has same arguments as useFetchye
    // dispatches events into the server side Redux store
    await dispatch(oneFetchye('http://example.com/api/books/'));
  },
};

export default BookList;

Next.JS SSR

import { useFetchye, makeServerFetchye, SimpleCache } from 'fetchye';

const cache = SimpleCache();

// Codesandbox takes a second to get Next.JS started...
export default function IndexPage({ initialBookList }) {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books/', {
    initialData: initialBookList,
  });

  if (isLoading) {
    return (<p>Loading...</p>);
  }

  return (
    {/* Render data */ }
  );
}

const fetchye = makeServerFetchye({
  cache,
  fetchClient: fetch,
});

export async function getServerSideProps() {
  try {
    // returns { data, error } payload for feeding initialData on client side
    const res = await fetchye('http://example.com/api/books/');
    return {
      props: {
        initialBookList: res,
      },
    };
  } catch (error) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line no-console -- error useful to developer in specific error case
    console.error(error.message);
    return {};
  }
}

Write your own Cache

💬 **Note **: This is for advanced users with special cases. Advanced users should understand Redux design pattern concepts about Reducers and Actions before continuing.

Sometimes, the basic opinions of the cache may not be enough for a project's use case. We can create a very basic new Cache configuration like so:

import {
  IS_LOADING,
  SET_DATA,
  DELETE_DATA,
  ERROR,
  CLEAR_ERROR,
} from 'fetchye';

export function CustomCache({ cacheSelector = (state) => state }) {
  return {
    // The reducer will save each action to state by hash key
    reducer: (state, action) => {
      switch (action.type) {
        case IS_LOADING: {
          // return is loading state change
          return state;
        }
        case SET_DATA: {
          // return set data state change
          return state;
        }
        case DELETE_DATA: {
          // return delete data state change
          return state;
        }
        case ERROR: {
          // return error state change
          return state;
        }
        case CLEAR_ERROR: {
          // return clear error state change
          return state;
        }
        default: {
          return state;
        }
      }
    },
    getCacheByKey: (state, key) => ({
      data, // dig into state and return data by key hash value
      error, // dig into state and return error by key hash value
      loading, // dig into state and return loading by key hash value
    }),
    cacheSelector, // pass through optional cacheSelector property
  };
}

Next we may add this to one of the Fetchye Providers and we are done:

import { FetchyeProvider } from 'fetchye';
import { CustomCache } from './CustomCache';

const ParentComponent = ({ children }) => (
  <FetchyeProvider cache={CustomCache()}>
    {children}
  </FetchyeProvider>
);

💡 Check out Actions API docs and SimpleCache.js source file. These will give you insights into the actions used in the reducer and practical examples on a working Cache configuration.

Caches

A factory function that returns a configuration object, used to instruct a Provider on how to store and retrieve fetchye cache data.

SimpleCache

This Cache configuration relies on plain old Javascript data structures to back the reducer and getCacheByKey functions.

Shape

import { SimpleCache } from 'fetchye';

const cache = SimpleCache({
  cacheSelector,
});

Arguments

name type required description
cacheSelector (state) => state false Required if using FetchyeReduxProvider A function that returns the location inside Redux State to the Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Selectors).

Returns

name type description
reducer (state, action) => state A function that reduces the next state of Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Reducers).
getCacheByKey (cache, key) => state A function that returns a minimum of { data, loading, error } for a specific cache key from cache state.
cacheSelector? (state) => state An optionally returned parameter. This function returns the location inside Redux State to the Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Selectors).

ImmutableCache

💡Requires additional immutable package installed

This Cache configuration relies on ImmutableJS data structures to back the reducer and getCacheByKey functions.

Shape

import { ImmutableCache } from 'fetchye-immutable-cache';

const cache = ImmutableCache({
  cacheSelector
});

Arguments

name type required description
cacheSelector (state) => state false Required if using FetchyeReduxProvider A function that returns the location inside Redux State to the Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Selectors).

Returns

name type description
reducer (state, action) => state A function that reduces the next state of Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Reducers).
getCacheByKey (cache = Immutable.Map(), key) => state A function that returns a minimum of { data, loading, error } for a specific cache key from cache state.
cacheSelector? (state) => state An optionally returned parameter. This function returns the location inside Redux State to the Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Selectors).

OneCache

💡Requires additional immutable package installed

This Cache configuration is specifically designed to work with One App, it relies on ImmutableJS data structures to back the reducer and getCacheByKey functions.

Shape

import { OneCache } from 'fetchye-one-app';

const cache = OneCache();

Returns

name type description
reducer (state, action) => state A function that reduces the next state of Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Reducers).
getCacheByKey (cache = Immutable.Map(), key) => state A function that returns a minimum of { data, loading, error } for a specific cache key from cache state.
cacheSelector? (state) => state An optionally returned parameter. This function returns the location inside Redux State to the Fetchye Cache. (See Redux Selectors).

Actions

These actions power the state transitions described in a Cache Configuration reducer function.

IS_LOADING

An event signaling a state transition to the loading state by hash key.

Shape

import { IS_LOADING } from 'fetchye-core';
{
  type: IS_LOADING,
  hash,
}

name type description
hash String The hash value generated by object-hash package for the query

SET_DATA

An event signaling a state transition inside a reducer to add or replace the data field and transition away from loading state by hash key.

Shape

import { SET_DATA } from 'fetchye-core';
{
  type: SET_DATA,
  hash,
  value,
}

mapOptionToKey Helpers

These helpers provide a more compact and simple way of common transforms.

There is currently one helper.

ignoreHeadersByKey

Shape

(String[]) => mapOptionsToKeyFunction

Arguments

name type required description
keys Array<String> true creates a mapOptionsToKey function that removes headers whose keys match the specified keys

Returns

name type description
mapOptionsToKey Function mapOptionsToKeyFunction A function to be passed to the mapOptionsToKey option in useFetchye, or the fetchye function made by makeServerFetchye.

Example

import React from 'react';
import { useFetchye, ignoreHeadersByKey } from 'fetchye';

const BookList = ({ locale }) => {
  const { isLoading, data } = useFetchye('http://example.com/api/books/', {
    // remove the 'locale' header from the headers when building the cache key
    mapOptionsToKey: ignoreHeadersByKey(['locale']),
    headers: { locale },
  });

  // ... rest of component
};

export default BookList;

📢 Mission

The Fetchye project wishes to bring a more flexible central caching experience using the best ideas of the Redux design pattern and options for the developer to choose how their data is stored. Fetchye provides React Context driven caching options backed by your choice of pure React (via useReducer) or Redux. Unlike many data fetching solutions, Fetchye Context Providers do not rely on singleton statics and can be instantiated throughout an application multiple times for multiple caches if so desired.
