Function leptos::create_selector

pub fn create_selector<T>(
    cx: Scope,
    source: impl Fn() -> T + Clone + 'static
) -> impl Fn(T) + Clonewhere
    T: PartialEq<T> + Eq + Debug + Clone + Hash + 'static,

Creates a conditional signal that only notifies subscribers when a change in the source signal’s value changes whether it is equal to the key value (as determined by PartialEq.)

You probably don’t need this, but it can be a very useful optimization in certain situations (e.g., “set the class selected if selected() == this_row_index) because it reduces them from O(n) to O(1).

let (a, set_a) = create_signal(cx, 0);
let is_selected = create_selector(cx, a);
let total_notifications = Rc::new(RefCell::new(0));
let not = Rc::clone(&total_notifications);
create_isomorphic_effect(cx, {
    let is_selected = is_selected.clone();
    move |_| {
        if is_selected(5) {
            *not.borrow_mut() += 1;
        }
    }
});
