@motiadev/stream-client-react

Motia Stream Client React Package – Responsible for managing streams of data in React applications.

For more information about Motia Streams, please refer to the Motia Streams documentation.

Overview

@motiadev/stream-client-react provides a set of React utilities and hooks for integrating Motia's real-time streaming capabilities into your React applications. It enables you to subscribe to individual stream items, groups, and handle real-time events with idiomatic React patterns.

---

Installation

npm install @motiadev/stream-client-react

Exports

• Stream, StreamItemSubscription, StreamGroupSubscription
  (Re-exported from @motiadev/stream-client-browser)
• MotiaStreamProvider
  React provider for initializing and supplying the stream context.
• useMotiaStream
  Hook to access the current stream instance from context.
• useStreamItem
  Hook to subscribe to a single stream item.
• useStreamGroup
  Hook to subscribe to a group of stream items.
• useStreamEventHandler
  Hook to attach event listeners to stream subscriptions.

Usage

1. MotiaStreamProvider

Wrap your application (or a subtree) with MotiaStreamProvider to initialize the stream and provide it via context.

import { MotiaStreamProvider } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <MotiaStreamProvider address="wss://your-stream-server">
      <App />
    </MotiaStreamProvider>
  )
}

Props:

• address (string): The WebSocket address of your Motia stream server.

---

2. useMotiaStream

Access the current stream instance anywhere within the provider.

import { useMotiaStream } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

const { stream } = useMotiaStream()

---

3. useStreamItem

Subscribe to a single item in a stream and receive real-time updates.

import { useStreamItem } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

const { data, event } = useStreamItem<{ name: string }>({
  /**
   * The stream name from motia Server
   */
  streamName: 'users',
  /**
   * The id of the item to subscribe to
   */
  id: 'user-123',
})

• data: The current value of the item (typed).
• event: The subscription object to subscribe to custom events. Check useStreamEventHandler for more information.

---

4. useStreamGroup

Subscribe to a group of items in a stream.

import { useStreamGroup } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

const { data, event } = useStreamGroup<{ name: string }>({
  /**
   * The stream name from motia Server
   */
  streamName: 'users',
  /**
   * The group id to subscribe to
   */
  groupId: 'admins',
})

• data: Array of current group items.
• event: The group subscription object.

---

5. useStreamEventHandler

Attach custom event listeners to a stream subscription.

import { useStreamEventHandler } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

useStreamEventHandler(
  {
    event, // from useStreamItem or useStreamGroup
    type: 'custom-event',
    listener: (eventData) => {
      // handle event
    },
  },
  [
    /* dependencies */
  ],
)

• Returns { stream } from context.

useStreamItem

• Args: { streamName: string, id: string }
• Returns: { data: TData | null, event: StreamSubscription | null }

useStreamGroup

• Args: { streamName: string, groupId: string }
• Returns: { data: TData[], event: StreamSubscription | null }

useStreamEventHandler

• Args:
  • { event, type, listener }
  • dependencies (array): React dependency list

Example

import { MotiaStreamProvider, useStreamItem, useStreamEventHandler } from '@motiadev/stream-client-react'

function UserComponent({ userId }) {
  const { data, event } = useStreamItem<{ name: string }>({
    streamName: 'users',
    id: userId,
  })

  useStreamEventHandler(
    {
      event,
      type: 'user-updated',
      listener: (e) => alert('User updated!'),
    },
    [event],
  )

  if (!data) return <div>Loading...</div>
  return <div>{data.name}</div>
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <MotiaStreamProvider address="wss://your-stream-server">
      <UserComponent userId="user-123" />
    </MotiaStreamProvider>
  )
}
