Key Features

• Immutable Data: Use Immer to manage immutable changes to data objects.
• Track Changes: Automatically track changes and patches made to your data.
• Validation: Integrate validation logic and manage errors easily.

Example Usage

import ImmerChangeset from 'ember-immer-changeset';

// Define your data object
const userData = {
  id: 1,
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'johndoe@example.com',
  age: 30,
};

// Create a new changeset instance
const userChangeset = new ImmerChangeset(userData);

// Make changes
userChangeset.set('name', 'Jane Doe');
userChangeset.set('age', 31);

// Check if there are changes
console.log('Is Dirty:', userChangeset.isDirty); // true

// Get the changes made
console.log('Changes:', userChangeset.changes); // [{ key: 'name', value: 'Jane Doe' }, { key: 'age', value: 31 }]

// Validate changes
await userChangeset.validate((draftData) => {
  userChangeset.removeErrors();
  if (draftData.age < 18) {
    userChangeset.addError({
      originalValue: draftData.age,
      value: 18,
      key: 'age',
    });
  }
});

// If valid, apply and save changes
if (userChangeset.isValid) {
  userChangeset.execute();  // Apply changes
  console.log('Updated User Data:', userChangeset.data);  // Updated data
  
  userChangeset.save();  // Save changes permanently
  console.log('User Data after Saving:', userChangeset.data);
}

API Overview

ImmerChangeset<T>

This class represents a changeset for a given data object. It offers the following core methods:

• set(key: string, value: any): Apply a change to a property.
• get(key: string): Get the current value of a property.
• execute(): Apply all changes to the original data.
• rollback(): Revert changes back to the original state.
• rollbackProperty(key: string): Revert a specific property.
• addError(error: ValidationError): Add an error for a specific field.
• removeError(key: string): Remove an error for a specific field.
• validate(validationFunction): Validate the changeset with a custom validation function.
• onSet(callback): Register a callback that triggers on any set operation.

Event Hooks

You can register event listeners to trigger when changes are made:

const off = userChangeset.onSet((key, value) => {
  console.log(`Property ${key} set to ${value}`);
});

// To remove the event listener
off();
Copy

Additional Utilities

isChangeset

This utility function checks whether a given object is an instance of ImmerChangeset. It is useful when you want to ensure that an object is a valid changeset before interacting with it.

import { isChangeset } from 'ember-immer-changeset';
import ImmerChangeset from 'ember-immer-changeset';

const userChangeset = new ImmerChangeset(userData);

// Check if the object is a changeset
console.log(isChangeset(userChangeset)); // true
Copy

Function signature:

function isChangeset(obj?: InstanceType<any>): boolean;
Copy

• obj: The object to check.
• Returns: A boolean indicating if the object is an instance of ImmerChangeset or has a __changeset__ property.

changeset-get Helper

The changeset-get helper is an Ember template helper that retrieves the value of a specific property from an ImmerChangeset instance. This is particularly helpful when you want to access changeset properties within templates.

{{changeset-get this.userChangeset "name"}}
Copy

Function signature:

function changesetGet([changeset, key]: [ImmerChangeset | undefined, string]): any;
Copy

• changeset: The ImmerChangeset instance.
• key: The property name to retrieve from the changeset.
• Returns: The value of the specified property.

Usage in a template:

{{changeset-get this.userChangeset "email"}}
Copy

This helper allows easy access to the values of properties on the changeset directly within Ember templates.
