`useHasTablesListener`

The useHasTablesListener primitive registers a listener function with the Store that will be called when Tables as a whole are added to or removed from the Store.

useHasTablesListener(
  listener: HasTablesListener,
  mutator?: boolean,
  storeOrStoreId?: MaybeAccessor<undefined | StoreOrStoreId>,
): void

	Type	Description
`listener`	`HasTablesListener`	The function that will be called whenever `Tables` as a whole are added or removed.
`mutator?`	`boolean`	An optional boolean that indicates that the listener mutates `Store` data.
`storeOrStoreId?`	`MaybeAccessor<undefined \| 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.

This primitive is useful for situations where a component needs to register its own specific listener to do more than simply tracking the value (which is more easily done with the useHasTables primitive).

Unlike the addHasTablesListener method, which returns a listener Id and requires you to remove it manually, the useHasTablesListener primitive manages this lifecycle for you: when the component unmounts, the listener on the underlying Store will be deleted.

Example

This example creates the TinyBase objects needed by the Solid primitive or component and calls it from within a reactive root.

import {createRoot} from 'solid-js';
import {
  createCheckpoints,
  createIndexes,
  createMetrics,
  createQueries,
  createRelationships,
  createStore,
} from 'tinybase';
import {useHasTablesListener} from 'tinybase/ui-solid';

createRoot((dispose) => {
  const store = createStore()
    .setTables({
      pets: {
        fido: {species: 'dog', color: 'brown', next: 'felix'},
        felix: {species: 'cat', color: 'black'},
      },
      species: {dog: {price: 5}, cat: {price: 4}},
    })
    .setValues({open: true});
  const metrics = createMetrics(store).setMetricDefinition(
    'highestPrice',
    'species',
    'max',
    'price',
  );
  const indexes = createIndexes(store).setIndexDefinition(
    'bySpecies',
    'pets',
    'species',
  );
  const relationships = createRelationships(store)
    .setRelationshipDefinition('petSpecies', 'pets', 'species', 'species')
    .setRelationshipDefinition('nextPet', 'pets', 'pets', 'next');
  const queries = createQueries(store).setQueryDefinition(
    'petColors',
    'pets',
    ({select, where, param}) => {
      select('color');
      where((getCell) => getCell('species') == param('species'));
    },
    {species: 'dog'},
  );
  const checkpoints = createCheckpoints(store);
  store.setCell('pets', 'fido', 'color', 'walnut');
  checkpoints.setCheckpoint('updated color');
  metrics.getMetric('highestPrice');
  indexes.getSliceIds('bySpecies');
  relationships.getRemoteRowId('petSpecies', 'fido');
  queries.getResultRowIds('petColors');
  useHasTablesListener(() => undefined, false, store);
  dispose();
});
