Helpers are utils that are meant to be used mostly in component templates.

API

each(collection, onItem, onEmpty)

each will make your iterations in template a breeze. It takes care of unique keys for each element, as well as simplify the syntax.

It takes 3 arguments:

  • collection - an array of something

  • onItem(item, index) - callback which will be used for each item in the collection

  • onEmpty - optional - ReactNode that will be returned in case the collection is empty.

Example

Before

import Component from "@wazapp/component";
import { each } from '@wazapp/helpers'

export default class MyComponent extends Component {
  phrases = ['Maciej', 'was', 'here'];

  template({ name }) {
    return (
      <ul>
        {this.phrases.map((phrase) => (
          <li key={phrase}>
            {phrase}
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    );
  }
}

After

import Component from "@wazapp/component";
import { each } from '@wazapp/helpers'

export default class MyComponent extends Component {
  phrases = ['Maciej', 'was', 'here'];

  template({ name }) {
    return (
      <ul>
        {each(this.phrases, (phrase) => (
          <li>
            {phrase}
          </li>
