Represents a source used to get and set the value of a ScalarSignal.

Typically, changing the value that a signal contains requires a total reassignment:

TouchGestures.onTap().subscribe((gesture) => {
  someSignal = Reactive.val(1);
});

In the example above, someSignal is bound to a completely new signal which itself contains the desired value.

The ScalarSignalSource API provides the ability to change the value of the original signal without reassignment, with behavior similar to that of non-reactive programming models.

Example

//============================================================================
// Creates a new ScalarSignalSource object and change's the signal value
// on a screen tap event.
//
// Required project capabilities:
// - TouchGestures (auto added on module import)
//
//============================================================================

// Load in the required modules
const Reactive = require('Reactive');
const TouchGestures = require('TouchGestures');
const Diagnostics = require('Diagnostics');


(async function () {  // Enables async/await in JS [part 1]

  // Create a scalar signal source
  var scalarSource = Reactive.scalarSignalSource("ScalarSource");

  // Get the scalar signal from the source
  const scalarSignal = scalarSource.signal;

  // Set an initial value for the scalar signal
  stringSource.set("Hello");

  // Add the signal to the Watch view
  Diagnostics.watch("Scalar value: ", scalarSignal);

  // Create a variable to keep track of the tap count
  var count = 0;

  // Update the scalar value each time a tap event is fired
  TouchGestures.onTap().subscribe(() => {

    // Increment 'count' value
    count += 1;

    // Set the value of the scalar signal to the value of 'count'
    scalarSource.set(count);
  });

})(); // Enables async/await in JS [part 2]

Properties

Property	Description
`signal`	(get) signal: ScalarSignal (set) (Not Available) The signal being monitored by the `ScalarSignalSource` object. Accessing the signal's value before one has been assigned via `set()` will return an empty string.

Methods

Method Description

Method	Description
`dispose`	dispose(): void Disposes of the native resources associated with the `ScalarSignalSource` object. The `ScalarSignalSource` object will still exist as a JavaScript object but will not receive updates through future calls to `set()`. Do not call `dispose()` until you're certain that the signal is no longer required. When calling `ReactiveModule.scalarSignalSource`, avoid reusing the `sourceId` of an object that you've called `dispose()` on.
`set`	set(value: ScalarSignal \| number): void Sets the value of the signal monitored by the `ScalarSignalSource` object to `value`. The updated signal value will be propagated throughout all signals related to the `ScalarSignalSource`. If `set()` is called before `signal`, `signal` will return the value assigned by `set()` when called, rather than the default empty string. * `value` - the value to assign to the signal, as a number or `ScalarSignal`.

dispose

dispose(): void

Disposes of the native resources associated with the ScalarSignalSource object.

The ScalarSignalSource object will still exist as a JavaScript object but will not receive updates through future calls to set(). Do not call dispose() until you're certain that the signal is no longer required.

When calling ReactiveModule.scalarSignalSource, avoid reusing the sourceId of an object that you've called dispose() on.

set

set(value: ScalarSignal | number): void

Sets the value of the signal monitored by the ScalarSignalSource object to value.

The updated signal value will be propagated throughout all signals related to the ScalarSignalSource.

If set() is called before signal, signal will return the value assigned by set() when called, rather than the default empty string.

* value - the value to assign to the signal, as a number or ScalarSignal.
