DEPRECATED

Now that MobX has Provider support, you should use that instead.

For React: mobx-react

For Inferno: mobx-inferno

mobx-connect

Super lightweight (2 kb uncompressed) MobX @connect decorator for react/inferno components. Similar to @connect from react-redux.

Installation

npm install --save mobx-connect

How it works

By decorating your react/inferno component with @connect 2 things happen:

• Your components becomes observable (so no need to define @observable, since @connect does it for you).
• Your state and the store actions are inject into this.context.

Usage example (React.JS)

import React from 'react'
import { connect } from 'mobx-connect'

@connect
class App extends React.Component {

    toggleSetting(key) {
        const { settings} = this.context.state
        settings[key] = !settings[key]
    }

    render() {
        const { settings } = this.context.state

        return <div>
            <SettingsView/>
            <button onClick={() => this.toggleSetting('fullscreen')}>
                Turn {settings.fullscreen ? 'OFF' : 'ON'}
            </button>
            <button onClick={() => this.toggleSetting('logger')}>
                Turn {settings.logger ? 'OFF' : 'ON'}
            </button>
        </div>
    }
}

const SettingsView = connect(function(props, context) {
    const { settings } = context.state

    return <div>
        <h1>Settings</h1>
        <p>Fullscreen: {settings.fullscreen ? 'OFF' : 'ON'}</p>
        <p>Logger: {settings.fullscreen ? 'OFF' : 'ON'}</p>
    </div>
})

Usage example (inferno.JS)

import Inferno from 'inferno'
import Component from 'inferno-component'
import { connect } from 'mobx-connect/inferno' // <----

@connect
class App extends Component {
    // Everything else same as with React...
}

Configuration

Ccreate a file called ContextProvider.js. We need to wrap our root component (App in this case) around this ContextProvider before rendering.

const React = require('react')
const { contextTypes } = require('mobx-connect')

class ContextProvider extends React.Component {
    getChildContext() {
        return this.props.context;
    }
    render() {
        return this.props.children;
    }
}

ContextProvider.childContextTypes = contextTypes;

Then we define our default state and our store methods which affect the state.

const { observable } = require('mobx')

const context = {
    // An observable mobx object
    state: observable({
        username: ''
    }),
    store: {
        // Your methods that affect the state here
        // You can make this object deeper for more complicated structures
        // or import from another file
        setUsername(username) {
            context.state.username = username;
        }
    }
}

Finally we inject context into our app and render HTML on the browser

ReactDOM.render(<ContextProvider context={context}>
    <App/>
</ContextProvider>, document.getElementById('content'));

Usage with React-router

const React = require('react')
const ReactDOM = require('react-dom')
const { observable } = require('mobx')
const { Router, RouterContext, browserHistory } = require('react-router')
const ContextProvider = require('./ContextProvider') // or where ever you put it
const routes = require('./routes') // or where ever you put it

const context = {
    state: observable({}),
    store: {}
}

function createElement(props) {
    return <ContextProvider context={context}>
        <RouterContext {...props} />
    </ContextProvider>
}

// Render HTML on the browser
ReactDOM.render(<Router history={browserHistory}
               render={createElement}
               routes={routes}/>,
document.getElementById('container'))

Usage with Inferno-router

import Inferno from 'inferno'
import Component from 'inferno-component'
import InfernoDOM from 'inferno-dom'
import { observable } from 'mobx'
import ContextProvider from './ContextProvider'
import routes from './routes'

const context = {
    state: observable({}),
    store: {}
}
// Render HTML on the browser
InfernoDOM.render(<ContextProvider context={context}>
    {routes}
</ContextProvider>,
document.getElementById('root'))

ReactDOM.render(<Router history={browserHistory}
               render={createElement}
               routes={routes}/>,
document.getElementById('container'))
