Handling Asynchronous Changes in IndexedDB with ReactJS Hooks

When working with ReactJS and IndexedDB, you may encounter a situation where you need to respond to async changes in your data. For instance, when an operation in one component modifies data stored in IndexedDB, you might want your hook in another component to immediately reflect those changes. In this guide, we'll explore how to set up a hook that responds to these changes effectively using the React Context API.

The Problem at Hand

You might be using a custom hook called useEventListItems to load data from IndexedDB on component mount and update its internal state. The challenge arises when this data changes from another component, and you want to ensure that your hook updates accordingly. Your instinct might be to set the hook's dependency to the async result of reading from IndexedDB. However, you cannot directly use a promise as a dependency in React, resulting in complications.

Flow of Operations

To illustrate the issue clearly, let's break down the flow involved:

Component Invocation: A component calls the hook with several parameters, including unsyncedEvents, which it needs to keep updated from IndexedDB.

Data Initialization: The hook reads data from IndexedDB using an async function on mount and saves it in its internal state.

Data Modification: unsyncedEvents data may be updated from another component.

Desired Outcome: The useEventListItems hook needs to listen for data changes and update its internal state seamlessly.

The Solution: Utilizing Context API

To solve this problem, we can leverage the Context API in React. This allows us to create a context that carries a state variable as a trigger for re-fetching data from IndexedDB whenever it changes.

Step 1: Setting Up the Context

Firstly, let's create a context to manage the state and provide it to the necessary components.

Step 2: Modifying the Hook

Next, you need to adapt your useEventListItems hook to utilize the context value.

Step 3: Creating Update and Consumer Components

You will also need components that can update the IndexedDB and consume the context.

Step 4: Wrapping Components in the Provider

Finally, make sure to wrap your components using the context provider so they can access the context values.

Conclusion

By utilizing the Context API, you can effectively manage state and trigger updates in your React hooks based on changes to your IndexedDB. This approach ensures that components remain in sync with the latest data without directly binding promises as dependencies. Implement this pattern in your app to make it more responsive and cohesive when working with async operations!
