reaction
Sometimes you need to react to changes to state. Typically you want to run some imperative logic related to something in the state changing.
1
reaction(
2
// Access and return some state to react to
3
(state) => state.foo,
4
5
// Do something with the returned value
6
(foo) => {},
7
8
{
9
// If you return an object or array from the state you can set this to true.
10
// The reaction will run when any nested changes occur as well
11
nested: false,
12
13
// Runs the reaction immediately
14
immediate: false
15
}

There are two points of setting up reactions in Overmind.
onInitializeOvermind
The onInitializeOvermind action is where you set up reactions that lives throughout your application lifetime. The reaction function returns a function to dispose it. That means you can give effects the possibility to create and dispose of reactions in any action.
overmind/actions.js
1
export const onInitializeOvermind = ({ effects }, instance) => {
2
instance.reaction(
3
({ todos }) => todos,
4
(todos) => effects.storage.saveTodos(todos),
5
{
6
nested: true
7
}
8
)
9
}

components
With components you typically use reactions to manipulate DOM elements or other UI related imperative libraries.
React
Angular
Vue
1
import * as React from 'react'
2
import { useOvermind } from '../overmind'

const App = () => {
5
const { reaction } = useOvermind()

React.useEffect(() => reaction(
8
({ currentPage }) => currentPage,
9
() => {
10
document.querySelector('#page').scrollTop = 0
11
}
12
))
13

return <div id="page"></div>
15
}
