Historical Data Management Library

Overview

This library provides a generic Historical class for tracking and managing the history of values in JavaScript and TypeScript applications. It is designed to be versatile, supporting undo/redo operations, callback registration for value changes, and serialization/deserialization functionalities. Additionally, the library offers integration with Angular applications through a dedicated service, HistoricalService, and an example Angular component, MyComponent, demonstrating its practical use.

Installation

npm install @nyteshade/ne-historical

Usage

Non-Angular Variant

Historical

The core of this library is the Historical class, which is a generic class designed for tracking the history of a value of any type.

Basic Usage:

import { Historical } from './historical';

const historical = new Historical<number>(0);
historical.value = 1;
historical.value = 2;

console.log(historical.last); // Get the most recent historical value

Undo/Redo Operations:

historical.undo();
console.log(historical.value); // Outputs the previous value

historical.redo();
console.log(historical.value); // Redoes the last undone change

Serialization/Deserialization:

const serialized = historical.serialize();
const deserializedHistorical = Historical.deserialize<number>(serialized);

Registering Callbacks:

historical.registerCallback((newValue, oldValue, timestamp) => {
  console.log('Value changed from', oldValue, 'to', newValue, 'at', timestamp);
});

Angular Variant

HistoricalService

An Angular service that manages instances of Historical.

Usage in Angular Component:

import { HistoricalService } from './historical.service';

// In your Angular component
constructor(private historicalService: HistoricalService) {}

ngOnInit() {
  const historical = this.historicalService.getHistorical('myValueKey', 0);
  // ...
}

MyComponent

An example Angular component demonstrating the usage of HistoricalService to manage historical data reactively.

Template:

<!-- Component template with data bindings and controls for undo/redo -->

Component Class:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HistoricalService } from './historical.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my-component',
  template: `<!-- Template Here -->`
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
  // ...
}
