@waitkit/react

React provider and hooks for using a Waitkit controller in development UI.

@waitkit/react does not call setupWaitKit for you. Create the controller with @waitkit/core, then pass it to WaitKitProvider.

Installation

npm install @waitkit/core @waitkit/react
# or
pnpm add @waitkit/core @waitkit/react
# or
yarn add @waitkit/core @waitkit/react
# or
bun add @waitkit/core @waitkit/react

Provider

import { setupWaitKit } from '@waitkit/core';
import { WaitKitProvider } from '@waitkit/react';

const scenarios = {
  'slow-network': [{ url: '/api/users', delay: 1000 }],
  'server-error': [{ url: '/api/users', errorRate: 1 }],
};

const scenarioNames = Object.keys(scenarios);

const waitkit = setupWaitKit({
  enabled: import.meta.env.DEV,
  activeScenario: 'slow-network',
  scenarios,
});

root.render(
  <WaitKitProvider controller={waitkit} scenarioNames={scenarioNames}>
    <App />
  </WaitKitProvider>,
);

Pass a stable scenarioNames array. Avoid creating it inline during render, because changing the array reference recreates the React store.

useWaitKit

import { useWaitKit } from '@waitkit/react';

function WaitKitToggle() {
  const waitkit = useWaitKit();

  return (
    <button onClick={waitkit.enabled ? waitkit.disable : waitkit.enable}>
      {waitkit.enabled ? 'Disable Waitkit' : 'Enable Waitkit'}
    </button>
  );
}

useWaitKit returns:

• enabled: whether rule matching is enabled.
• scenario: active scenario name.
• scenarioNames: scenario names passed to WaitKitProvider.
• controller: original core controller.
• enable(), disable(), restore(): controller methods that also update React subscribers.

useWaitKitScenario

import { useWaitKitScenario } from '@waitkit/react';

function ScenarioSelect() {
  const { scenario, scenarioNames, setScenario, resetScenario } = useWaitKitScenario();

  return (
    <select
      value={scenario ?? ''}
      onChange={(event) => {
        const value = event.currentTarget.value;
        value === '' ? resetScenario() : setScenario(value);
      }}
    >
      <option value="">Default rules</option>
      {scenarioNames.map((name) => (
        <option key={name} value={name}>
          {name}
        </option>
      ))}
    </select>
  );
}

WaitKitDevTools

WaitKitDevTools renders a fixed floating panel for development. It shows the current enabled/disabled status, a scenario switcher, and a live log of recent matched and error requests.

import { WaitKitDevTools } from '@waitkit/react';

root.render(
  <WaitKitProvider controller={waitkit} scenarioNames={scenarioNames}>
    <App />
    <WaitKitDevTools />
  </WaitKitProvider>,
);

Props:

• maxLogEntries (optional, default 20): Maximum number of log entries to keep.

WaitKitDevTools must be rendered inside WaitKitProvider. It reads state from context and calls controller methods directly — no additional setup needed.

Controller Updates

Use the methods returned by useWaitKit and useWaitKitScenario from React UI. If you call the original controller directly outside React, React subscribers will not be notified automatically.
