# Thunks
|
|
|
|
Thunks provide optimistic updates for event publishing. They immediately update the local repository while handling the actual signing and publishing asynchronously, making the UI feel more responsive.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
A thunk:
|
|
- Updates local state immediately
|
|
- Handles event signing in the background
|
|
- Manages publish status per relay
|
|
- Supports soft-undo via abort
|
|
- Can be delayed/cancelled
|
|
- Tracks successful publishes
|
|
|
|
## Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import {publishThunk} from '@welshman/app'
|
|
import {createEvent, NOTE} from '@welshman/util'
|
|
|
|
const publish = async (content: string) => {
|
|
// Get optimal relays for publishing
|
|
const relays = ctx.app.router
|
|
.FromUser()
|
|
.getUrls()
|
|
|
|
// Create and publish thunk
|
|
const thunk = await publishThunk({
|
|
event: createEvent(NOTE, {content}),
|
|
relays,
|
|
delay: 3000, // 3s window for abort
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Track publish status
|
|
thunk.status.subscribe(statuses => {
|
|
for (const [url, {status, message}] of Object.entries(statuses)) {
|
|
console.log(`${url}: ${status} ${message}`)
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Can abort within delay window
|
|
setTimeout(() => {
|
|
if (userWantsToCancel) {
|
|
thunk.controller.abort()
|
|
}
|
|
}, 1000)
|
|
|
|
// Wait for completion
|
|
const results = await thunk.result
|
|
return results
|
|
}
|
|
```
