Type representing the Qwik component.

Component is the type returned by invoking component$.

component$

Declare a Qwik component that can be used to create UI.

Use component$ to declare a Qwik component. A Qwik component is a special kind of component that allows the Qwik framework to lazy load and execute the component independently of other Qwik components as well as lazy load the component's life-cycle hooks and event handlers.

Side note: You can also declare regular (standard JSX) components that will have standard synchronous behavior.

Qwik component is a facade that describes how the component should be used without forcing the implementation of the component to be eagerly loaded. A minimum Qwik definition consists of:

Example

An example showing how to create a counter component:

export interface CounterProps {
  initialValue?: number;
  step?: number;
}
export const Counter = component$((props: CounterProps) => {
  const state = useStore({ count: props.initialValue || 0 });
  return (
    <div>
      <span>{state.count}</span>
      <button onClick$={() => (state.count += props.step || 1)}>+</button>
    </div>
  );
});

• component$ is how a component gets declared. - { value?: number; step?: number } declares the public (props) interface of the component. - { count: number } declares the private (state) interface of the component.

The above can then be used like so:

export const OtherComponent = component$(() => {
  return <Counter initialValue={100} />;
});

ContextId

ContextId is a typesafe ID for your context.

Context is a way to pass stores to the child components without prop-drilling.

Use createContextId() to create a ContextId. A ContextId is just a serializable identifier for the context. It is not the context value itself. See useContextProvider() and useContext() for the values. Qwik needs a serializable ID for the context so that the it can track context providers and consumers in a way that survives resumability.

Example

// Declare the Context type.
interface TodosStore {
  items: string[];
}
// Create a Context ID (no data is saved here.)
// You will use this ID to both create and retrieve the Context.
export const TodosContext = createContextId<TodosStore>("Todos");
 
// Example of providing context to child components.
export const App = component$(() => {
  useContextProvider(
    TodosContext,
    useStore<TodosStore>({
      items: ["Learn Qwik", "Build Qwik app", "Profit"],
    }),
  );
 
  return <Items />;
});
 
// Example of retrieving the context provided by a parent component.
export const Items = component$(() => {
  const todos = useContext(TodosContext);
  return (
    <ul>
      {todos.items.map((item) => (
        <li>{item}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );

CorePlatform

Low-level API for platform abstraction.

Different platforms (browser, node, service workers) may have different ways of handling things such as requestAnimationFrame and imports. To make Qwik platform-independent Qwik uses the CorePlatform API to access the platform API.

CorePlatform also is responsible for importing symbols. The import map is different on the client (browser) then on the server. For this reason, the server has a manifest that is used to map symbols to javascript chunks. The manifest is encapsulated in CorePlatform, for this reason, the CorePlatform can't be global as there may be multiple applications running at server concurrently.

This is a low-level API and there should not be a need for you to access this.

export interface CorePlatform

Property

Modifiers

Type

Description

chunkForSymbol

(symbolName: string, chunk: string | null) => readonly [symbol: string, chunk: string] | undefined

Retrieve chunk name for the symbol.

When the application is running on the server the symbols may be imported from different files (as server build is typically a single javascript chunk.) For this reason, it is necessary to convert the chunks from server format to client (browser) format. This is done by looking up symbols (which are globally unique) in the manifest. (Manifest is the mapping of symbols to the client chunk names.)

importSymbol

(containerEl: Element | undefined, url: string | URL | undefined | null, symbol: string) => ValueOrPromise<any>

Retrieve a symbol value from QRL.

Qwik needs to lazy load data and closures. For this Qwik uses QRLs that are serializable references of resources that are needed. The QRLs contain all the information necessary to retrieve the reference using importSymbol.

Why not use import()? Because import() is relative to the current file, and the current file is always the Qwik framework. So QRLs have additional information that allows them to serialize imports relative to application base rather than the Qwik framework file.

isServer

boolean

True of running on the server platform.

nextTick

(fn: () => any) => Promise<any>

Perform operation on next tick.

raf

(fn: () => any) => Promise<any>

createContextId

Create a context ID to be used in your application. The name should be written with no spaces.

Context is a way to pass stores to the child components without prop-drilling.

Use createContextId() to create a ContextId. A ContextId is just a serializable identifier for the context. It is not the context value itself. See useContextProvider() and useContext() for the values. Qwik needs a serializable ID for the context so that the it can track context providers and consumers in a way that survives resumability.

implicit$FirstArg

Create a ____$(...) convenience method from ___(...).

It is very common for functions to take a lazy-loadable resource as a first argument. For this reason, the Qwik Optimizer automatically extracts the first argument from any function which ends in $.

This means that foo$(arg0) and foo($(arg0)) are equivalent with respect to Qwik Optimizer. The former is just a shorthand for the latter.

For example, these function calls are equivalent:

• component$(() => {...}) is same as component($(() => {...}))

export function myApi(callback: QRL<() => void>): void {
  // ...
}
 
export const myApi$ = implicit$FirstArg(myApi);
// type of myApi$: (callback: () => void): void
 
// can be used as:
myApi$(() => console.log("callback"));
 
// will be transpiled to:
// FILE: <current file>
myApi(qrl("./chunk-abc.js", "callback"));
 
// FILE: chunk-abc.js
export const callback = () => console.log("callback");

implicit$FirstArg: <FIRST, REST extends any[], RET>(
    fn: (first: QRL<FIRST>, ...rest: REST) => RET,
  ) =>
  (first: FIRST, ...rest: REST) =>
    RET;

qrl

The QRL type represents a lazy-loadable AND serializable resource.

QRL stands for Qwik URL.

Use QRL when you want to refer to a lazy-loaded resource. QRLs are most often used for code (functions) but can also be used for other resources such as strings in the case of styles.

QRL is an opaque token that is generated by the Qwik Optimizer. (Do not rely on any properties in QRL as it may change between versions.)

## Creating QRL references

Creating QRL is done using $(...) function. $(...) is a special marker for the Qwik Optimizer that marks that the code should be extracted into a lazy-loaded symbol.

useOnDocument(
  "mousemove",
  $((event) => console.log("mousemove", event)),
);

In the above code, the Qwik Optimizer detects $(...) and transforms the code as shown below:

// FILE: <current file>
useOnDocument("mousemove", qrl("./chunk-abc.js", "onMousemove"));
 
// FILE: chunk-abc.js
export const onMousemove = () => console.log("mousemove");

NOTE: qrl(...) is a result of Qwik Optimizer transformation. You should never have to invoke this function directly in your application. The qrl(...) function should be invoked only after the Qwik Optimizer transformation.

## Using QRLs

Use QRL type in your application when you want to get a lazy-loadable reference to a resource (most likely a function).

// Example of declaring a custom functions which takes callback as QRL.
export function useMyFunction(callback: QRL<() => void>) {
  doExtraStuff();
  // The callback passed to `onDocument` requires `QRL`.
  useOnDocument("mousemove", callback);
}

In the above example, the way to think about the code is that you are not asking for a callback function but rather a reference to a lazy-loadable callback function. Specifically, the function loading should be delayed until it is actually needed. In the above example, the function would not load until after a mousemove event on document fires.

## Resolving QRL references

At times it may be necessary to resolve a QRL reference to the actual value. This can be performed using QRL.resolve(..) function.

// Assume you have QRL reference to a greet function
const lazyGreet: QRL<() => void> = $(() => console.log("Hello World!"));
 
// Use `qrlImport` to load / resolve the reference.
const greet: () => void = await lazyGreet.resolve();
 
//  Invoke it
greet();

NOTE: element is needed because QRLs are relative and need a base location to resolve against. The base location is encoded in the HTML in the form of <div q:base="/url">.

## QRL.resolved

Once QRL.resolve() returns, the value is stored under QRL.resolved. This allows the value to be used without having to await QRL.resolve() again.

## Question: Why not just use import()?

At first glance, QRL serves the same purpose as import(). However, there are three subtle differences that need to be taken into account.

1. QRLs must be serializable into HTML. 2. QRLs must be resolved by framework relative to q:base. 3. QRLs must be able to capture lexically scoped variables. 4. QRLs encapsulate the difference between running with and without Qwik Optimizer. 5. QRLs allow expressing lazy-loaded boundaries without thinking about chunk and symbol names.

Let's assume that you intend to write code such as this:

return <button onClick={() => (await import('./chunk-abc.js')).onClick}>

The above code needs to be serialized into DOM such as:

<div q:base="/build/">
  <button on:click="./chunk-abc.js#onClick">...</button>
</div>

1. Notice there is no easy way to extract chunk (./chunk-abc.js) and symbol (onClick) into HTML. 2. Notice that even if you could extract it, the import('./chunk-abc.js') would become relative to where the import() file is declared. Because it is our framework doing the load, the ./chunk-abc.js would become relative to the framework file. This is not correct, as it should be relative to the original file generated by the bundler. 3. Next, the framework needs to resolve the ./chunk-abc.js and needs a base location that is encoded in the HTML. 4. The QRL needs to be able to capture lexically scoped variables. (import() only allows loading top-level symbols which don't capture variables.) 5. As a developer, you don't want to think about import and naming the chunks and symbols. You just want to say: "this should be lazy."

These are the main reasons why Qwik introduces its own concept of QRL.

export type QRL<TYPE = unknown> = {
  __qwik_serializable__?: any;
  __brand__QRL__: TYPE;
  resolve(): Promise<TYPE>;
  resolved: undefined | TYPE;
  getCaptured(): unknown[] | null;
  getSymbol(): string;
  getHash(): string;

QwikIntrinsicElements

The interface holds available attributes of both native DOM elements and custom Qwik elements. An example showing how to define a customizable wrapper component:

import { component$, Slot, type QwikIntrinsicElements } from "@builder.io/qwik";
 
type WrapperProps = {
  attributes?: QwikIntrinsicElements["div"];
};
 
export default component$<WrapperProps>(({ attributes }) => {
  return (
    <div {...attributes} class="p-2">
      <Slot />
    </div>
  );
});

Note: It is shorter to use PropsOf<'div'>

render

Render JSX.

Use this method to render JSX. This function does reconciling which means it always tries to reuse what is already in the DOM (rather then destroy and recreate content.) It returns a cleanup function you could use for cleaning up subscriptions.

render: (
  parent: Element | Document,
  jsxOutput: JSXOutput | FunctionComponent<any>,
  opts?: RenderOptions,
) => Promise<RenderResult>;

Parameter

Type

Description

parent

Element | Document

Element which will act as a parent to jsxNode. When possible the rendering will try to reuse existing nodes.

jsxOutput

JSXOutput | FunctionComponent<any>

JSX to render

opts

RenderOptions

(Optional)

Promise<RenderResult>

An object containing a cleanup function.

Resource

This method works like an async memoized function that runs whenever some tracked value changes and returns some data.

useResource however returns immediate a ResourceReturn object that contains the data and a state that indicates if the data is available or not.

The status can be one of the following:

• 'pending' - the data is not yet available. - 'resolved' - the data is available. - 'rejected' - the data is not available due to an error or timeout.

Example

Example showing how useResource to perform a fetch to request the weather, whenever the input city name changes.

const Cmp = component$(() => {
  const cityS = useSignal("");
 
  const weatherResource = useResource$(async ({ track, cleanup }) => {
    const cityName = track(cityS);
    const abortController = new AbortController();
    cleanup(() => abortController.abort("cleanup"));
    const res = await fetch(`http://weatherdata.com?city=${cityName}`, {
      signal: abortController.signal,
    });
    const data = await res.json();
    return data as { temp: number };
  });
 
  return (
    <div>
      <input name="city" bind:value={cityS} />
      <Resource
        value={weatherResource}
        onResolved={(weather) => {
          return <div>Temperature: {weather.temp}</div>;
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
});
