Usage

Extended watch that returns extra ignoreUpdates(updater) and ignorePrevAsyncUpdates() to ignore particular updates to the source.

import { watchIgnorable } from '@vueuse/core'
import { nextTick, ref } from 'vue'

const source = ref('foo')

const { stop, ignoreUpdates } = watchIgnorable(
  source,
  v => console.log(`Changed to ${v}!`),
)

source.value = 'bar'
await nextTick() // logs: Changed to bar!

ignoreUpdates(() => {
  source.value = 'foobar'
})
await nextTick() // (nothing happened)

source.value = 'hello'
await nextTick() // logs: Changed to hello!

ignoreUpdates(() => {
  source.value = 'ignored'
})
source.value = 'logged'

await nextTick() // logs: Changed to logged!

Flush timing

watchIgnorable accepts the same options as watch and uses the same defaults. So, by default the composable works using flush: 'pre'.

`ignorePrevAsyncUpdates`

This feature is only for async flush 'pre' and 'post'. If flush: 'sync' is used, ignorePrevAsyncUpdates() is a no-op as the watch will trigger immediately after each update to the source. It is still provided for sync flush so the code can be more generic.

import { watchIgnorable } from '@vueuse/core'
import { nextTick, ref } from 'vue'

const source = ref('foo')

const { ignorePrevAsyncUpdates } = watchIgnorable(
  source,
  v => console.log(`Changed to ${v}!`),
)

source.value = 'bar'
await nextTick() // logs: Changed to bar!

source.value = 'good'
source.value = 'by'
ignorePrevAsyncUpdates()

await nextTick() // (nothing happened)

source.value = 'prev'
ignorePrevAsyncUpdates()
source.value = 'after'

await nextTick() // logs: Changed to after!
