`useStartTransactionListener`

The useStartTransactionListener hook registers a listener function with the Store that will be called at the start of a transaction.

useStartTransactionListener(
  listener: TransactionListener,
  listenerDeps?: DependencyList,
  storeOrStoreId?: StoreOrStoreId,
): void

	Type	Description
`listener`	`TransactionListener`	The function that will be called at the start of a transaction.
`listenerDeps?`	`DependencyList`	An optional array of dependencies for the `listener` function, which, if any change, result in the re-registration of the listener. This parameter defaults to an empty array.
`storeOrStoreId?`	`StoreOrStoreId`	The `Store` to register the listener with: omit for the default context `Store`, provide an `Id` for a named context `Store`, or provide an explicit reference.
returns	`void`	This has no return value.

Unlike the addStartTransactionListener method, which returns a listener Id and requires you to remove it manually, the useStartTransactionListener hook manages this lifecycle for you: when the listener changes (per its listenerDeps dependencies) or the component unmounts, the listener on the underlying Store will be deleted.

Example

This example uses the useStartTransactionListener hook to create a listener that is scoped to a single component. When the component is unmounted, the listener is removed from the Store.

import {Provider, useStartTransactionListener} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => {
  useStartTransactionListener(() => console.log('Start transaction'));
  return <span>App</span>;
};

const store = createStore();
const app = document.createElement('div');
const root = createRoot(app);
root.render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(store.getListenerStats().transaction);
// -> 1

store.setValue('open', false);
// -> 'Start transaction'

root.unmount();
console.log(store.getListenerStats().transaction);
// -> 0
