# Scopes
|
|
|
|
Just like how a signal's connection may need to be disconnected, a source's
|
|
effect also may need to be disconnected.
|
|
|
|
But the disconnecting of many signals and connections is tedious and verbose.
|
|
Vide instead operates on the concept of scopes which provides a much cleaner
|
|
API, given that you follow a few rules.
|
|
|
|
Scopes come in two flavors; stable and reactive.
|
|
|
|
- All scopes must be created within another scope with the exception of `root()`
|
|
- Stable scopes never rerun
|
|
- Reactive scopes can rerun
|
|
- A reactive scope cannot be created within another reactive scope
|
|
|
|
`effect()` creates a reactive scope.
|
|
`root()` creates a stable scope.
|
|
|
|
Whenever a scope is destroyed, any scope created within that scope is also
|
|
destroyed, and so on. This is why all scopes must be created within another
|
|
scope, except `root()` which is used to create the initial scope that you can
|
|
manually destroy.
|
|
|
|
```luau
|
|
local root = vide.root
|
|
local source = vide.source
|
|
local effect = vide.effect
|
|
|
|
local function setup()
|
|
local count = source(0)
|
|
|
|
effect(function()
|
|
print(count())
|
|
end)
|
|
|
|
return count
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
setup() -- will error since effect() tries to create a reactive scope outside of a stable scope
|
|
|
|
local count = root(setup) -- ok since effect() was called within a stable scope
|
|
count(1) -- prints "1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The scope created by `root()` can be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
```luau
|
|
local function setup()
|
|
local count = source(0)
|
|
|
|
effect(function()
|
|
print(count())
|
|
end)
|
|
|
|
return count
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
local destroy, count = root(setup)
|
|
|
|
count(1) -- prints "1"
|
|
|
|
destroy()
|
|
|
|
count(2) -- effect is destroyed; no longer prints
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Vide's reactivity can be represented graphically, as a *reactive graph*.
|
|
|
|
The reactive graph for the above example looks like so:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
%%{init: {
|
|
"theme": "base",
|
|
"themeVariables": {
|
|
"primaryColor": "#1B1B1F",
|
|
"primaryTextColor": "#fff",
|
|
"primaryBorderColor": "#1B1B1F",
|
|
"lineColor": "#79B8FF",
|
|
"tertiaryColor": "#161618",
|
|
"tertiaryBorderColor": "#161618"
|
|
}
|
|
}}%%
|
|
|
|
graph
|
|
|
|
subgraph root
|
|
direction LR
|
|
count --> effect
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the stable `root()` is destroyed, the reactive `effect()`
|
|
scope will also be destroyed since it was created within it.
|
|
|
|
This is important because you may have an effect that updates the property of a
|
|
UI instance, meaning the effect is referencing and holding that instance in
|
|
memory. The effect being destroyed will remove this reference, allowing the
|
|
instance to be garbage collected.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to worry about ensuring all your effects are created within a
|
|
stable scope, since you should be creating all your UI and effects within a
|
|
single top-level `root()` call that puts all your UI together, making it safe to
|
|
assume any effect created will be created under this stable scope.
