Usage

Basic Usage

1. First, enable the MapSet functionality in your main application file (e.g., index.js or App.js):

import { enableMapSet } from 'immer';

enableMapSet();

2. Import the necessary functions:

import { useApiStore, useApiHandler, FetchStatus } from "zustand-api-manager";

3. Use the useApiHandler hook in your components:

interface UserData {
  id: number;
  username: string;
}

interface UserParams {
  id: number;
}

function MyComponent() {
  const { data, isLoading, isError, handleApi } =
    useApiHandler<UserData, UserParams>("user");

  const params = {
    id: 13
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    handleApi(
      () => fetchUserData(params), // API call
      {
        onSuccess: () => {
          console.log("User data fetched successfully!");
          // Add any other success logic here
        },
        onError: () => {
          console.error("An error occurred while fetching user data.");
          // Handle the error or show additional UI feedback here
        },
        persist: true;
      }
    );
  }, []);

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (isError) return <div>Error occurred</div>;

  return <div>{data?.name}</div>;
}

Advanced Usage

1. Create a custom API composer for your specific API structure:

import { createApiComposer, ApiEndpoint } from "zustand-api-manager";

interface MyApiStructure {
  getUsers: ApiEndpoint<void, User[]>;
  getPost: ApiEndpoint<{ id: number }, Post>;
}

export const useApi = createApiComposer<MyApiStructure>();

2. Use the custom API composer in your components:

function UserProfile() {
  const { data: userData, isLoading, handleApi } = useApi("getUsers");

  useEffect(() => {
    handleApi(() => fetchUserData({ id: 1 }));
  }, []);

  // Render component...
}

Global Loading

The useLoadingStates hook allows you to check the loading state of one or multiple API calls:

import { getLoadingStates } from "zustand-api-manager";

function Dashboard() {
  // Check if any API is loading
  const isAnyLoading = getLoadingStates();

  // Check if specific APIs are loading
  const isUserOrPostsLoading = getLoadingStates(["user", "posts"]);

  // Check if a single API is loading
  const isUserLoading = getLoadingStates("user");

  return (
    <div>
      {isAnyLoading && <div>Loading something...</div>}
      {isUserOrPostsLoading && <div>Loading user or posts...</div>}
      {isUserLoading && <div>Loading user data...</div>}
      {/* Rest of your component */}
    </div>
  );
}

API Reference

useApiStore

The main store for managing API states. Provides the following methods:

• setApiState: Update the state for a specific API key
• resetApiState: Reset the state for a specific API key
• handleApi: Handle an API call with automatic state management
• getLoadingStates: Check loading states for one or more API keys
• addMiddleware: Add middleware to customize API call behavior
• addErrorHandler: Add a global error handler

useApiHandler

A hook for managing individual API calls. Returns an object with:

• isLoading: Boolean indicating if the API is currently loading
• isError: Boolean indicating if an error occurred
• isSuccess: Boolean indicating if the API call was successful
• data: The data returned from the API call
• error: Any error that occurred during the API call
• handleApi: Function to trigger the API call
• resetApi: Function to reset the API state

createApiComposer

A function to create a strongly-typed API composer for your specific API structure.

FetchStatus

An enum representing the different states of an API call:

• IDLE
• LOADING
• SUCCESS
• ERROR

Middleware and Error Handling

You can add custom middleware and error handlers to customize the behavior of your API calls:

const apiStore = useApiStore.getState();

// Add middleware
apiStore.addMiddleware((next) => async (key, apiCall, options) => {
  console.log(`API call started: ${key}`);
  await next(key, apiCall, options);
  console.log(`API call finished: ${key}`);
});

// Add error handler
apiStore.addErrorHandler((error, key) => {
  console.error(`Error in API call ${key}:`, error);
});

TypeScript Support

This package is written in TypeScript and provides strong typing out of the box. Use the createApiComposer function to create a strongly-typed API composer for your specific API structure.
