value

Extracts the plain value from a signal, non-signal, or plain value.

This utility function unwraps signalified objects to get their underlying plain values. If the input is already a plain value, it returns it as-is.

Signature

export const value = <T>(input: MaybeSignalValue<T>): T =>
  valueIsSignalifiedObject(input)
    ? (input as SignalifiedObject<T>).value
    : (input as T);

Type Parameters

• The type of the plain value

Parameters

• input: A signal, non-signal, or plain value

Returns

The unwrapped plain value

Remarks

• Does not trigger dependency tracking
• Works with null and undefined
• Works with nested structures

Examples

const count = signal(42);
const nonSig = getNonSignalObject("hello");

value(count); // 42
value(nonSig); // "hello"
value(100); // 100
