## Callbacks
Callbacks are used to communicate with services, agents, and parent components within Yew.
Internally their type is just `Fn` wrapped in `Rc` to allow them to be cloned.
They have an `emit` function that takes their `<IN>` type as an argument and converts that to a message expected by its destination. If a callback from a parent is provided in props to a child component, the child can call `emit` on the callback in its `update` lifecycle hook to send a message back to its parent. Closures or Functions provided as props inside the `html!` macro are automatically converted to Callbacks.
A simple use of a callback might look something like this:
```rust
use yew::{html, Component, Context, Html};
enum Msg {
Clicked,
}
struct Comp;
impl Component for Comp {
type Message = Msg;
type Properties = ();
fn create(_ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Self {
Self
}
fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Html {
// highlight-next-line
let onclick = ctx.link().callback(|_| Msg::Clicked);
html! {
// highlight-next-line
<button {onclick}>{ "Click" }</button>
}
}
}
```
The function passed to `callback` must always take a parameter. For example, the `onclick` handler requires a function which takes a parameter of type `MouseEvent`. The handler can then decide what kind of message should be sent to the component. This message is scheduled for the next update loop unconditionally.
If you need a callback that might not need to cause an update, use `batch_callback`.
```rust
use yew::{events::KeyboardEvent, html, Component, Context, Html};
enum Msg {
Submit,
}
struct Comp;
impl Component for Comp {
type Message = Msg;
type Properties = ();
fn create(_ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Self {
Self
}
fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Html {
// highlight-start
let onkeypress = ctx.link().batch_callback(|event: KeyboardEvent| {
if event.key() == "Enter" {
Some(Msg::Submit)
} else {
None
}
});
html! {
<input type="text" {onkeypress} />
}
// highlight-end
}
}
```
