useApp

This document provides an overview and elanation of the useApp.ts file. This file defines a custom hook useApp which is used to manage application events and state transitions in a React application using the useAppStore hook.


Overview

The useApp hook listens for application-wide events and updates the state or displays notifications based on these events. It utilizes React's useEffect to initialize event listeners and perform clean-up when necessary.

Imports

import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useAppStore } from "../hooks/useAppStore";
import { AppMode } from "@shared/enums";
  • useEffect: A React hook that lets you perform side effects in function components.
  • useAppStore: A custom hook presumably for accessing and modifying the global application state.
  • AppMode: An enumeration representing different modes the application might operate in.

Custom Hook: useApp

eort const useApp = () => {
const setAppMode = useAppStore((state) => state.setAppMode);
const setOpenAboutKweenBModal = useAppStore(
(state) => state.setOpenAboutKweenBModal
);
const showToast = useAppStore((state) => state.showToast);
const setLoading = useAppStore((state) => state.setLoading);

useEffect(() => {
// Code handling various application events
}, []);
};

eort default useApp;

Variables

  • setAppMode: A function to set the application's current mode.
  • setOpenAboutKweenBModal: A function to control the visibility of the "About KweenB" modal.
  • showToast: A function to display notification toasts.
  • setLoading: A function to set the loading state and message.

Event Handlers

The useEffect hook sets up event listeners for application events:

Event Listener Table

EventDescriptionHandler
onAboutKweenBOpens the "About KweenB" modal.setOpenAboutKweenBModal(true)
onErrorDisplays an error toast with the error message.showToast({ message, severity: "error" })
onInfoDisplays an info toast with the message.showToast({ message, severity: "info" })
onSuccessDisplays a success toast with the message.showToast({ message, severity: "success" })
onClosingSets the loading state with a closing message.setLoading({ loading: true, text: "Closing application..." })
onLoadingSets the loading state with the provided loading status and text.setLoading({ loading, text, cancelButton: false })
onAppModeUpdates the application's mode.setAppMode(_appMode as AppMode)

Implementation Details

  • onAboutKweenB: Invokes when the "About KweenB" event is triggered, opening the corresponding modal.

  • onError: Captures error events and displays a toast notification with an error severity level.

  • onInfo & onSuccess: These events show toast notifications with informational and success messages respectively.

  • onClosing: When triggered, sets the application state to loading and displays a closing message.

  • onLoading: Manages loading events, adjusting the loading state and optionally displaying a message.

  • onAppMode: Changes the current mode of the application.


Conclusion

The useApp hook acts as a central point for handling various application events, updating the state, and notifying users via toast messages. This promotes a reactive and dynamic user interface within the application by efficiently managing state and events.
