* feat(signals): add WritableResultExt trait Add WritableResultExt mirroring the existing ReadableResultExt, providing mutable access to signal values holding Result<T, E>. Methods: - as_mut(): returns Result<WritableRef<T>, WritableRef<E>> - unwrap_mut(): returns WritableRef<T>, panics if Err Closes #5293 * refactor(signals): use descriptive expect messages in WritableResultExt::as_mut Replace bare .unwrap() calls with .expect() containing a descriptive message about the failure mode. This gives better diagnostics if the Result variant changes between the read and write lock acquisitions. * switch to a single write to avoid race conditions with sync signals --------- Co-authored-by: Evan Almloff <evanalmloff@gmail.com>
Dioxus Signals
Dioxus Signals is an ergonomic Copy runtime for data with local subscriptions.
Copy Data
All signals implement Copy, even if the inner value does not implement copy. This makes it easy to move any data into futures or children.
use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_signals::*;
#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
let signal = use_signal(|| "hello world".to_string());
spawn(async move {
// signal is Copy even though String is not copy
print!("{signal}");
});
rsx! {
"{signal}"
}
}
Local Subscriptions
Signals will only subscribe to components when you read from the signal in that component. It will never subscribe to a component when reading data in a future or event handler.
use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_signals::*;
#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
// Because signal is never read in this component, this component will not rerun when the signal changes
let mut signal = use_signal(|| 0);
rsx! {
button {
onclick: move |_| {
signal += 1;
},
"Increase"
}
for id in 0..10 {
Child {
signal,
}
}
}
}
#[derive(Props, Clone, PartialEq)]
struct ChildProps {
signal: Signal<usize>,
}
fn Child(props: ChildProps) -> Element {
// This component does read from the signal, so when the signal changes it will rerun
rsx! {
"{props.signal}"
}
}
Because subscriptions happen when you read from (not create) the data, you can provide signals through the normal context API:
use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_signals::*;
#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
// Because signal is never read in this component, this component will not rerun when the signal changes
use_context_provider(|| Signal::new(0));
rsx! {
Child {}
}
}
#[component]
fn Child() -> Element {
let signal: Signal<i32> = use_context();
// This component does read from the signal, so when the signal changes it will rerun
rsx! {
"{signal}"
}
}
Computed Data
In addition to local subscriptions in components, dioxus-signals provides a way to derive data with local subscriptions.
The use_memo hook will only rerun when any signals inside the hook change:
use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_signals::*;
#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
let mut signal = use_signal(|| 0);
let doubled = use_memo(move || signal * 2);
rsx! {
button {
onclick: move |_| signal += 1,
"Increase"
}
Child {
signal: doubled
}
}
}
#[component]
fn Child(signal: ReadSignal<usize>) -> Element {
rsx! {
"{signal}"
}
}
