Highlights of 7.1-7.4 of @rest-hooks/rest include
- Resource.extend() making Resource customization much easier
- paginationField - a new option for createResource and RestEndpoint for a more terse handling of the most common pagination patterns
Highlights of 7.1-7.4 of @rest-hooks/rest include
Collections enable Arrays and Objects to be easily extended by pushing or unshifting new members. The namesake comes from Backbone Collections.
Collections were first introduced in @rest-hooks/[email protected]. @rest-hooks/rest@7 takes this one step further, but using them in Resource.getList.
async response(...args){return(await UserResource.getList(...args)).slice(0,3);}
async response(...args){return(await TodoResource.getList(...args)).slice(0,7);}
async response(...args){return{...(await TodoResource.partialUpdate(...args)),id:args?.[0]?.id};}
async response(...args){//await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
return{...(await TodoResource.getList.push(...args)),id:randomId()};}
import { useController } from '@rest-hooks/react/next';import { TodoResource } from './TodoResource';export default function CreateTodo({ userId }: { userId: number }) {const ctrl = useController();const handleKeyDown = async e => {if (e.key === 'Enter') {ctrl.fetch(TodoResource.getList.push, {userId,title: e.currentTarget.value,id: Math.random(),});e.currentTarget.value = '';}};return (<div className="listItem nogap"><label><input type="checkbox" name="new" checked={false} disabled /><input type="text" onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} /></label></div>);}
Upgrading is quite simple, as @rest-hooks/rest/next
and @rest-hooks/react/next
were introduced
to allow incremental adoption of the new APIs changed in this release. This makes the actual upgrade a simple import
rename.

For most people, upgrading to Rest Hooks 7 is as easy as upgrading the packages as long as you aren’t using previously (2 years ago) deprecated exports.
yarn add rest-hooks@7 @rest-hooks/react@6 @rest-hooks/redux@6 @rest-hooks/test@9 @rest-hooks/[email protected]
npm install --save rest-hooks@7 @rest-hooks/react@6 @rest-hooks/redux@6 @rest-hooks/test@9 @rest-hooks/[email protected]
The big difference here is all react-specific code has been moved into @rest-hooks/react, which is now a peer dependency of the other packages. The rest-hooks package re-exports everything from @rest-hooks/react.
Once the rest-hooks
package is upgraded, you can optionally upgrade @rest-hooks/react to 7.
yarn add @rest-hooks/react@7
npm install --save @rest-hooks/react@7
Because the React Native and Web interfaces are the same, we ship them in the same package and delivery appropriate specializations where appropriate.
The only breaking change is that useSuspense, useSubscription, useLive, useFetch are all react-native aware. This is unlikely to cause any issue, as screen focus will trigger fetches on stale data.
New additions in 7.1
Newly added guide and utilities specific for making NextJS integration easier.
We recently release two new package versions Rest [email protected] and @rest-hooks/[email protected]. These include some solutions to long-standing user-requested functionality. Additionally, we'll give a preview of even more features soon to come.
Today we're releasing @rest-hooks/rest version 6. While this is a pretty radical departure from previous versions, there is no need to upgrade if previous versions are working as they will continue to work with the current 6.4 release of Rest Hooks as well as many future versions.
First, we have completely decoupled the networking lifecycle RestEndpoint from the data lifecycle Schema. Collections of Endpoints that operate on the same data can be consgtructed by calling createResource.
import { RestEndpoint } from '@rest-hooks/rest';export const getTodo = new RestEndpoint({urlPrefix: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',path: '/todos/:id',});
The new RestEndpoint optimizes configuration based around HTTP networking. Urls are constructed based on simple named parameters, which are enforced with strict TypeScript automatically.
import { Entity, createResource } from '@rest-hooks/rest';export class Todo extends Entity {id = 0;userId = 0;title = '';completed = false;pk() {return `${this.id}`;}}export const TodoResource = createResource({urlPrefix: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',path: '/todos/:id',schema: Todo,});
createResource creates a simple collection of RestEndpoints. These can be easily overidden, removed as appropriate - or not used altogether. createResource is intended as a quick start point and as a guide to best practices for API interface ergonomics. It is expected to extend or replace createResource based on the common patterns for your own API.
const todo = useSuspense(TodoResource.get, { id: '5' });
const todos = useSuspense(TodoResource.getList);
controller.fetch(TodoResource.create, { content: 'ntucker' });
controller.fetch(TodoResource.update, { id: '5' }, { content: 'ntucker' });
controller.fetch(
TodoResource.partialUpdate,
{ id: '5' },
{ content: 'ntucker' },
);
controller.fetch(TodoResource.delete, { id: '5' });
