Imagine a plugin adds a new REST endpoint after initialization. Without listNew, you'd have to re-scan everything. With Reflect4:
function syncNewEndpoints(plugin: any) const newKeys = Reflect4.listNew(plugin);
for (const key of newKeys) if (key === 'routes') const freshRoutes = Reflect4.getMetadata('routes', plugin); console.log(made with reflect4 list new🚀 Mounting new routes: $freshRoutes); // Dynamically register with Express.js freshRoutes.forEach(route => app.use(route, plugin.handler));
Reflect4’s list new includes a powerful patch method for batch updates: Imagine a plugin adds a new REST endpoint
// Instead of updating 100 items one by one
tasks.patch([
type: 'update', index: 0, value: ...tasks[0], priority: 'high' ,
type: 'add', index: 5, value: newTask ,
type: 'remove', index: 10
]);
// The DOM updates in a single microtask with minimal reflows.
The "4" represents the four pillars of the library: Reflect4’s list new includes a powerful patch method
To solidify your understanding, here are three types of applications that benefit tremendously from this pattern:
