getValue

Unwrap a value by calling it until it is no longer a function, then return the result. It accepts a plain value, a signal reader, a memo accessor, or any nested function-of-function. Useful when authoring components or plugins that take an Accessor<T> / T | (() => T) prop and want a single shape to work with.

Arguments

name	type	description
value	T | () => T	A plain value or a (possibly nested) accessor.

Returns: T — the fully unwrapped value.

Examples

Unwrapping any accessor shape

Resolves the same helper across a plain value, a signal reader, a memo-style function, and a deeply nested chain of functions.

import { getValue, render, signal } from 'pota'

const a = signal(1)
const b = () => a.read() * 2
const deep = () => () => () => 'deep'

function App() {
	return (
		<div>
			<p>getValue(42): {getValue(42)}</p>
			<p>getValue(a.read): {getValue(a.read)}</p>
			<p>getValue(b): {getValue(b)}</p>
			<p>getValue(deep): {getValue(deep)}</p>
		</div>
	)
}
