👋🏽 Are you using Morphism for a project or a library ? Please share the way you use it.

Last time, I was thinking about adding more real use cases to the documentation. According to npm, there is a certain amount of downloads, I was wondering how and for what do you use Morphism

Please share you usage or any relevant public link.

@emyann below is a snippet that shows how I am using it with useEffect (with some pseudo-ish code). This way the currentBusinessObject is always in a ready-to-post state whenever the user is done making changes. I have an additional file that defines the mapping (a lot of it is one to one, but some of them require a mapping function) The next step that I may take is raise the logic one level higher into my axios instance config, and use Morphism as middleware. Let me know if you have any questions, or suggestions for using Morphism in a better way.

const businessObjectResponse = await fetchComplexBusinessObject();

const [currentUIState, setCurrentUIState] = useState({})
const [currentBusinessObject, setCurrentBusinessObject] = useState({...businessObjectResponse})

useEffect(() => {
    let uiStateCopy = makeDeepClone(currentUIState);
    let updatedBusinessObject = morphism(UIToBusinessObjectSchema, uiStateCopy);
    setCurrentBusinessObject(updatedBusinessObject)
}, [currentUIState])

Hi @emyann Fantastic library you have here.

I am using it to keep an internal business object that we have defined, in sync with a flattened out UI object that we are using for React application state. This way we can design an internal object that can work with multiple applications (and not care about any specific UI needs), and we can morph that object into a different UI state depending on the needs of the specific application.

Paired with the useEffect hook I am always able to keep a version of our business object in sync with the UI specific state. This makes it really easy to post the updated business object to the server without transforming on the fly.

Thanks again for being generous with your time and building this library. I look forward to using it more.
