# Effects
|
|
|
|
Effects are functions that are ran in response to source updates. They are
|
|
A source and effect is analogous to a signal and connection.
|
|
|
|
Effects are created using `effect()`.
|
|
|
|
```luau
|
|
local source = vide.source
|
|
local effect = vide.effect
|
|
|
|
local count = source(0)
|
|
|
|
effect(function()
|
|
print("count: " .. count())
|
|
end)
|
|
|
|
-- "count: 0" printed
|
|
count(1)
|
|
-- "count: 1" printed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any source read inside an effect is tracked and will rerun the effect when
|
|
that source is updated.
|
|
|
|
Derived sources are also tracked, it doesn't matter how deeply nested
|
|
inside a function a source is.
|
|
|
|
```luau
|
|
local source = vide.source
|
|
local effect = vide.effect
|
|
|
|
local count = source(1)
|
|
|
|
local doubled = function()
|
|
return count() * 2
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
effect(function()
|
|
print("doubled count: " .. doubled())
|
|
end)
|
|
|
|
-- "doubled count: 2" printed
|
|
count(2)
|
|
-- "doubled count: 4" printed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a source is updated with the same value it already had, it will not rerun
|
|
effects depending on it.
