🪄 immer-view

✨ A lightweight utility for working with immutable state using Immer, giving you type-safe mutable drafts during updates while keeping your data strictly immutable.

🚀 Features

• 🔒 Type-safe immutable views of your data structures
• ✏️ Mutable drafts during updates with full TypeScript support
• 🧩 Preserved class identity - updates return instances of the same class

⚡ Installation

pnpm i @collight/immer-view immer

🛠 Usage

1️⃣ Create an Immutable View

import { ImmerView } from '@collight/immer-view';

interface AppState {
  counter: number;
  items: string[];
}

class AppView extends ImmerView<AppState> {
  get itemsCount(): number {
    return this.value.items.length;
  }

  // ✏️ Type-safe mutable method
  addItem(this: MutableView<AppView>, item: string): void {
    this.value.items.push(item);
  }
}

2️⃣ Create and Update Views

import { produceView } from '@collight/immer-view';

// 🌱 Create initial view
const initialState: AppState = { counter: 0, items: [] };
const view = new AppView(initialState);

// ✨ Update with mutation recipe
const updated = produceView(view, draft => {
  draft.value.counter = 42;
  draft.addItem('new item'); // Can use mutable methods
});

// 🔁 Or replace entirely
const replaced = produceView(view, new AppView({ counter: 100, items: ['a'] }));

3️⃣ Preserved Class Behavior

console.log(updated instanceof AppView); // ✅ true
console.log(updated.itemsCount); // 1 - methods still work
