Reactive Collections #

Starbeam's reactive collections have the identical API as the built-in JavaScript APIs they are based on.

Starbeam ships with a number of built-in reactive collections.

• Reactive Object
• Reactive Array
• Reactive Map and WeakMap
• Reactive Set and WeakSet

From a usage perspective, these collections identical to their JavaScript counterparts. Instances of reactive collections have exactly the same methods as their JavaScript counterparts, and those methods behave identically.

The only distinction is that when you mutate a reactive collection, any formula or resource that used the collection as an input will invalidate.

ts
import reactive from "@starbeam/js";
const map = reactive.Map<string, number>();
// typeof map is Map<string, number>

ts
import reactive from "@starbeam/js";
const map = reactive.Map<string, number>();
// typeof map is Map<string, number>
