Examples

Basic usage

import { useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Activity } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return <p onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</p>;
};

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(!open)}>{open}</button>
      <Activity mode={open ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Counter />
      </Activity>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);

Use with createPortal

import { useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { createPortal } from 'react-dom';
import { Activity } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return createPortal(
    <button type="button" onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>count is {count}</button>,
    document.body,
  );
};

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(!open)}>{open}</button>
      <Activity mode={open ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Counter />
      </Activity>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);

Use with React.lazy

Since Activity is implemented based on Suspense, please pay attention to placing the Suspense component under the Activity component when using it, otherwise it may cause the problem that the fallback cannot be displayed normally.

import { useState, lazy, Suspense } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Activity } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';

const LazyCount = lazy(() => import('./Count')); 

const Count = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return <p onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</p>;
};

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(!open)}>{open}</button>
      <Activity mode={open ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Suspense fallback="loading...">
          <LazyCount />
        </Suspense>
      </Activity>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);

Rename to Activity

In order to keep pace with the official react, we renamed Offscreen to Activity. At the same time, we will still export Offscreen

import { useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Activity, Offscreen } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';

const Count = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return <p onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</p>;
};

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(!open)}>{open}</button>
      <Activity mode={open ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Count />
      </Activity>
      <Offscreen mode={open ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Count />
      </Offscreen>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);

typescript

import { useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Activity } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';
import type { ActivityMode } from '@ivliu/react-offscreen';

const Count = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return <p onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</p>;
};

const App = () => {
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<ActivityMode>('visible');

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setMode(mode === 'visible' ? 'hidden' : 'visible')}>{mode}</button>
      <Activity mode={mode}>
        <Count />
      </Activity>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);

unstable hooks

We provide hook implementation for component activation and deactivation status, but we do not plan to merge it into the main branch. If you need it, please refer to https://github.com/IVLIU/react-offscreen/tree/feat/unstable-hooks

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Offscreen, useActivated } from 'react-offscreen';

const Count = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);

  useActivated(() => {
    console.log('activated');
    return () => {
      console.log('deactivated')
    }
  });

  return <p onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</p>;
};

const App = () => {
  const [visible, setVisible] = React.useState(false);
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setVisible(!visible)}>{visible}</button>
      <Offscreen mode={visible ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
        <Count />
      </Offscreen>
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(<App />);
