Ability to hook into transactions

[georeith]

I am using Mobx alongside other libraries such as https://github.com/yjs/yjs, these tools also want to be aware of transactions / batching.

I could expose a single function that people can use which combines transactions from both tools however there are so many entry points to transactions in mobx (action, runInAction, action.bound...) it would be simpler if I could just hook into the base transaction somehow and tell the other library a transaction is occurring and then I am free to use the mobx API as intended.

If you're only interested about when the "transaction" ends, I think you could use reactionScheduler

Good tip! I'll try that.

Correct, in mobx-react we hook up react batches to mobx batches for similar reasons: https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx/blob/main/packages/mobx-react-lite/src/index.ts#L9
