About

dpHelper is a precise and complete collection of 190+ tools ready to use in all web/SaaS applications. State and Store Management are now easy, accessible everywhere in your application, including Ajax or React apps, without the need for extra files.

1. Single Source of Truth: The application's entire state is held within a single object in one store, ensuring consistent and accessible state management throughout the app.

2. State is flexible: State changes are facilitated exclusively through actions. These actions, which are straightforward JavaScript objects, delineate what has occurred. This methodology ensures that state changes remain predictable.

3. Changes are made with proxy handle function: To define state changes, dpHelper employs pure functions as intermediaries. These functions accept the current state as input and produce a new state as output, ensuring predictability and ease of testing in the system.

1. Example in React

```js import { useEffect } from 'react'; import 'dphelper';

function App() { // Store a value in the state state.test = 'Hello, World!';

// Use the stored value in a React component
useEffect(() => {
  console.log("You can recall from all pages: " + state.test); // Output: "Hello, World!"
}, []);

return (
  <div>
    <h1>{state.test}</h1>
  </div>
);

}

export default App; ```

You can see an HTML version where dpHelper and LayerPro work together seamlessly. dpHelper is compatible with a variety of frontend libraries, including:

• HTML
• React
• Vue
• And any other frontend library

Usage

Install dpHelper.

shell npm i dphelper --save-dev

or update:

shell npm i dphelper@latest --save-dev

Use it in the main root file (and only there):

js import "dphelper";

or

js require("dphelper");

Install for EJS or Other Types of Projects (like HTML)

Note: You don't need to use npm install in this case, or you will get an error.

The Best Way To Use State

Using the "state" Function

You can use the state function to store and reuse data throughout your application. Similar to other state managers, you can save state information in JSON format and access it easily in various contexts, including React useEffect and/or dispatch.

For example, you can store a value like this: state.test = 'I am ready' and then retrieve it later using state.test.

example:

You can use the browser's devtools console and type " state.test = 'I am ready' ". Every time you want to use 'test' values, you need just recall state.test.

```js // Set a state state.test = "I am ready" *

// Get the state state.test *

// List all states state.list // or just "state" to see the proxy

// Lock a state from edit (Only for Objects or Array) state.test.lock() *

// Remove a state state.remove("test")

// Remove all states state.removeAll()

*["test" is only an example]

```

Observer for States

Note: Observer works only with states. Stores are excluded at the moment.

If you want to run a function every time a state changes, you can use:

```js /** * Observer is a non-cumulative listener, * triggered from customEvent / dispatch from state * @parameters * [ state | store, function ] */ observer( "state.test", () => alert("Test Changes to: " + state.test) ) |_______| |________________________________________| State: string Function

PS: you need to use the name of state | store as string ```

You can use it everywhere. Works like "useState" in React but with more flexibility (use one observer for each state!).

Example

```js import 'dphelper';

// Use the observer to log the changing state value observer( 'state.count', () => console.log("State changed: ", state.count) );

// Store a value in the state that changes every 5 seconds setInterval(() => state.count = Date.now(), 5000); ```

Another Simple Example

```js import 'dphelper';

// Set a state state.myData = 'Hello, world!';

// Retrieve the state console.log(state.myData); // Output: Hello, world!

// Observe state changes observer('myData', () => { console.log('myData has changed to:', state.myData); });

// Change the state state.myData = 'New value'; ```

The Best Way To Use Store 🫙

Persistent Storage with dpHelper

When using dpHelper for permanent storage, you should use the store, which stores data persistently across sessions.

Important Security Note

1. Use store for persistent storage: If you want to store data permanently, use store to ensure it is saved in localStorage.

2. Remove data when necessary: To maintain security, remove stored data when it is no longer needed, such as during logout.

3. Remove all stored data: Use store.removeAll() to securely remove all stored data from your application.

```js // Set a store: store.set("test", { test: "test" })

// Get a store: store.get("test") // Output: { test: "test" }

// Remove a store: store.remove("test") // Output: "ok"

// Remove all stores: store.removeAll() // Output: "ok" ```

2. Example in React

```js import { useEffect } from 'react'; import 'dphelper';

function App() {

// Store a value in the store (persistent storage) store.set( 'user', { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 } );

// Use the stored value in a React component useEffect( () => { console.log(store.get("user")); // Output: { name: "John Doe", age: 30 } $("#name").text(store.get("user").name) }, [] );

// Remove all stored data if necessary // store.removeAll();

return (

); }

export default App; ```

Console It

Type dphelper in the devtool console of your browser to have a look at all available tools that you can use! You can call these from everywhere without import (just one time in the main/root page).
