# Control Flow
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually you will need a way to dynamically create and destroy UI elements
|
||||
resulting from state changes. Vide provides functions to help you do this,
|
||||
known as *control flow* functions.
|
||||
|
||||
These functions return a new source, which holds the instances to be displayed.
|
||||
These sources can be assigned as children, meaning the displayed children
|
||||
will update when the input source updates.
|
||||
|
||||
One of these functions is `switch()`, used to conditionally show one of a set of
|
||||
components.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local vide = require(vide)
|
||||
local source = vide.source
|
||||
local switch = vide.switch
|
||||
|
||||
local function ToggleButton(p: {
|
||||
Text: string,
|
||||
Toggle: (boolean) -> boolean
|
||||
})
|
||||
return create "TextButton" {
|
||||
Size = UDim2.fromOffset(300, 300),
|
||||
Text = p.Text,
|
||||
Activated = function()
|
||||
p.Toggle(not p.Toggle())
|
||||
end
|
||||
}
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
local loggedIn = source(false)
|
||||
|
||||
local function LoginMenu()
|
||||
return Frame {
|
||||
switch(loggedIn) {
|
||||
[true] = function()
|
||||
return ToggleButton { Text = "Log out", Toggle = loggedIn }
|
||||
end,
|
||||
|
||||
[false] = function()
|
||||
return ToggleButton { Text = "Log in", Toggle = loggedIn }
|
||||
end
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
mount(function() return create "ScreenGui" { LoginMenu {} } end, game.StarterGui)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Above is an example of using a switch to create a login menu. Each time
|
||||
`loggedIn` toggles, the current button will be destroyed, and a new button
|
||||
created, which the text to represent the current action, to log in or log out.
|
||||
|
||||
The callbacks given to control flow functions are ran in a new reactive-scope,
|
||||
so any cleanups registered will be ran when the input is changed and a new
|
||||
output is created.
|
||||
|
||||
Another control flow function, `indexes()`, is used to create elements from an
|
||||
input table.
|
||||
|
||||
Often, you will have a table of values that will be displayed in a similar
|
||||
manner. Rather than manually looping over each value to generate a corresponding
|
||||
UI element, `indexes()` can autmatically run a transform function for each
|
||||
index and value, generating a UI element.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local todoList = {
|
||||
"Finish the crash course",
|
||||
"Star vide's GitHub"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
local elements = indexes(todoList, function(todo, i)
|
||||
return create "TextLabel" {
|
||||
Text = function()
|
||||
return i .. ": " .. todo()
|
||||
end,
|
||||
|
||||
LayoutOrder = i
|
||||
}
|
||||
end)
|
||||
|
||||
mount(function()
|
||||
return create "ScreenGui" {
|
||||
create "UIListLayout" {}, elements
|
||||
}
|
||||
end, game.StarterGui)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each unique index in the passed table, the transform function will be called
|
||||
with 1. a source containing the value of the index, 2. the index itself.
|
||||
|
||||
When the value at an index is changed, the function is not reran. Instead, the
|
||||
given source is updated instead.
|
||||
|
||||
`indexes()` is said to map each *index* in a table to a UI element, each index
|
||||
has a single corresponding element.
|
||||
|
||||
An element is only destroyed if the value of an index is set to `nil`.
