Combine Framework

Next, we'll learn how to use it with UI frameworks, which allows alova to unleash its true power.

In RSM, the request timing describes when the request should be sent. When used in the UI framework, it not only allows alova to automatically manage the responsive request status, but also automatically manages it through certain rules. Control when requests should be sent.

alova provides three core useHook implementation request timings: useRequest, useWatcher, and useFetcher. They control when requests should be issued, and at the same time they will create and maintain the responsive status of the request for us, such as loading/data/error, etc., you can use these reactive states directly in the view, and when they change, the view will also change accordingly.

Set statesHook

Before using them, we need to set the corresponding statesHook on the alova instance. It must correspond to the UI framework used by the project. This is very important. It will tell alova that it should create responsive states corresponding to the UI framework. Currently, the following frameworks are supported:

vue composition

import { createAlova } from 'alova';
import VueHook from 'alova/vue';

export const alovaInstance = createAlova({
  // ...
  statesHook: VueHook
});

react

import { createAlova } from 'alova';
import ReactHook from 'alova/react';

export const alovaInstance = createAlova({
  // ...
  statesHook: ReactHook
});

svelte

import { createAlova } from 'alova';
import SvelteHook from 'alova/svelte';

export const alovaInstance = createAlova({
  // ...
  statesHook: SvelteHook
});

vue options

When used in vue options style, additional installation of the @alova/vue-options package is required.

import { createAlova } from 'alova';
import { VueOptionsHook } from '@alova/vue-options';

export const alovaInstance = createAlova({
  // ...
  statesHook: VueOptionsHook
});

If you wish to use alova outside of these UI frameworks, you can also implement a custom statesHook.
