Enum leptos::MaybeSignal

pub enum MaybeSignal<T>
where
    T: 'static,
{
    Static(T),
    Dynamic(Signal<T>),
}

A wrapper for a value that is either T or Signal<T>.

This allows you to create APIs that take either a reactive or a non-reactive value of the same type. This is especially useful for component properties.

Core Trait Implementations

• .get() (or calling the signal as a function) clones the current value of the signal. If you call it within an effect, it will cause that effect to subscribe to the signal, and to re-run whenever the value of the signal changes.
  • .get_untracked() clones the value of the signal without reactively tracking it.
• .with() allows you to reactively access the signal’s value without cloning by applying a callback function.
  • .with_untracked() allows you to access the signal’s value without reactively tracking it.
• .to_stream() converts the signal to an async stream of values.

Examples

let (count, set_count) = create_signal(2);
let double_count = MaybeSignal::derive(move || count.get() * 2);
let memoized_double_count = create_memo(move |_| count.get() * 2);
let static_value = 5;

// this function takes either a reactive or non-reactive value
fn above_3(arg: &MaybeSignal<i32>) -> bool {
    // ✅ calling the signal clones and returns the value
    //    it is a shorthand for arg.get()
    arg.get() > 3
}

assert_eq!(above_3(&static_value.into()), true);
assert_eq!(above_3(&count.into()), false);
assert_eq!(above_3(&double_count), true);
assert_eq!(above_3(&memoized_double_count.into()), true);

Variants

Static(T)

An unchanging value of type T.

Dynamic(Signal<T>)

A reactive signal that contains a value of type T.
