+# @bind
+
+`@bind(key)` keeps a class property and one path of the DataProvider store in sync. With `{ reflect: true }` the sync goes both ways: the property follows the store, and each assignment is written back to it. For one direction only, use the complementary decorators: [@subscribe](/docs/decorators/subscribe) to read, [@publish](/docs/decorators/publish) to write. See [Data flow](/docs/getting-started/dataFlow) for the overall model.

+## Import
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+import { bind } from "@supersoniks/concorde/decorators";
+import { DataProviderKey } from "@supersoniks/concorde/dataProviderKey";
+
+type Flight = { flight: string; gate: string; boarded: number };
+const flightKey = new DataProviderKey&lt;Flight&gt;("flight");
+
+@bind(flightKey.boarded, { reflect: true })
+@state()
+boarded = 0;
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Basic usage
+
+The key is a [DataProviderKey](/docs/misc/dataProviderKey): TypeScript checks that the property type matches `T` at that path. The property updates each time the store value changes. Add `@state()` so Lit re-renders.
+
+<sonic-code>
+  <template>
+    <docs-demo-sources for="demo-bind"></docs-demo-sources>
+    <demo-bind></demo-bind>
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Reflect
+
+With `reflect: true`, each assignment to the property calls `set()` at the key path, so every other subscriber sees the new value. An internal guard prevents update loops. Without `reflect` (the default), assigning the property does not touch the store, and `@bind` behaves like `@subscribe`.

+    <demo-bind-reflect></demo-bind-reflect>
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Dynamic path
+
+Placeholders such as `${index}` are resolved from properties of the same component, and `@bind` re-subscribes when they change. Declare them in the key's second generic and write them in a plain string, not a backtick template literal. While a placeholder is `null` or `undefined` the binding is inactive; `{ skipEmptyPlaceholder: true }` also waits on `""`. Full rules: [Dynamic paths](/docs/misc/dynamic-path).
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+const personKey = new DataProviderKey&lt;Person, { dataProvider: string; index: number }&gt;(

+
+## Lifecycle
+
+The decorator subscribes in `connectedCallback` and unsubscribes in `disconnectedCallback`. It works on any element with that lifecycle (`LitElement`, the `Subscriber` mixin).
+
+## API reference
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `key` | `DataProviderKey<T>` | Store path to bind. Supports `${prop}` placeholders |
+| `options.reflect` | `boolean` (default `false`) | Write local assignments back to the store |
+| `options.skipEmptyPlaceholder` | `boolean` (default `false`) | Treat a placeholder resolved to `""` as not ready |

+# @get
+
+`@get(endpoint)` runs an HTTP GET on an [Endpoint](/docs/misc/endpoint) and stores the full `ApiResult<T>` in a property, or passes it to a method. It runs again when the endpoint's placeholders or the API configuration change, and on demand through `refetch`. For writes, see [@post](/docs/decorators/post), [@put](/docs/decorators/put) and [@patch](/docs/decorators/patch).
+
+## Import
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+import { get, Endpoint, type ApiResult } from "@supersoniks/concorde/decorators";

+
+@get(departuresEndpoint)
+@state()
+departures?: ApiResult&lt;FlightBoard&gt;;
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Property
+
+The property is `undefined` until the first response, then holds `result` (typed `T`), `response` (the HTTP response) and `request`. It is reset to `undefined` when the component disconnects.
+
+Without a configuration key, `serviceURL` and the token are read from the HTML scope: place the component under an element that sets them (see [API configuration](/docs/misc/api-configuration)). The GET waits until `serviceURL` is available.

+## Method
+
+Decorate a method to receive the `ApiResult<T>` after each GET instead of storing it.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+@get(departuresEndpoint)
+onDepartures(payload?: ApiResult&lt;FlightBoard&gt;) {
+  this.boarding = payload?.result?.flights.filter((f) =&gt; f.status === "boarding") ?? [];

+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Configuration key
+
+Pass a `DataProviderKey<APIConfiguration>` as the second argument to read the configuration from the store instead of the HTML scope. Any change to that publisher runs the GET again.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+import { DataProviderKey } from "@supersoniks/concorde/dataProviderKey";
+import type { APIConfiguration } from "@supersoniks/concorde/utils/api";

+
+@get(departuresEndpoint, flightsApi)
+@state()
+departures?: ApiResult&lt;FlightBoard&gt;;
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Dynamic endpoint
+
+`${prop}` placeholders in the endpoint resolve from properties of the same component; each change runs a new GET. While a placeholder is `null` or `undefined`, no request is sent and the property is `undefined`. Rules: [Dynamic paths](/docs/misc/dynamic-path).
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+const boardEndpoint = new Endpoint&lt;FlightBoard, { direction: string }&gt;(

+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Refetch
+
+Keep the decorator in a constant to reuse it. `refetch(component)` runs the GET for that instance only and resolves with the new `ApiResult<T>` (or `undefined`).
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+const departuresGet = get(departuresEndpoint);

+@state()
+departures?: ApiResult&lt;FlightBoard&gt;;
+
+async refresh() {
+  await departuresGet.refetch(this);
+}
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+`@refetch(handle)` does the same around a method. By default the GET runs **after** the method (and after its Promise, if it returns one); use `{ when: "before" }` to run it first. The method call resolves once the GET is done.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">

+
+@refetch(departuresGet)
+async showArrivals() {
+  this.direction = "arrivals";
+}
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Polling and triggers
+
+`refetchEveryMs` runs the GET again that many milliseconds after each response (default `0`: off). `triggerKey` runs it whenever another component calls `invalidate()` on that publisher.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+import { dp } from "@supersoniks/concorde/utils";
+
+const boardRefresh = new DataProviderKey&lt;number&gt;("boardRefresh");

+@state()
+departures?: ApiResult&lt;FlightBoard&gt;;

+
+## API reference
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `endpoint` | `Endpoint<T, U>` | Path relative to `serviceURL`. `U` lists the host properties used by `${…}` placeholders |
+| `configurationKey` | `DataProviderKey<APIConfiguration>` (optional) | Read the configuration from the store instead of the HTML scope |
+| `options.refetchEveryMs` | `number` (default `0`) | Polling interval after each response; `0` disables it |
+| `options.triggerKey` | `DataProviderKey<unknown>` | Publisher whose `invalidate()` runs the GET again |
+| `options.skipEmptyPlaceholder` | `boolean` (default `false`) | Treat a placeholder resolved to `""` as not ready |

Nothing is stored on the component: use it for derived values and side effects, and [@subscribe](/docs/decorators/subscribe) when you only need the value. See [Data flow](/docs/getting-started/dataFlow) for the overall model.

+
+The property is `undefined` until a response arrives, then holds `request` · `response` · the typed `result`. Each body mutation sends a new request; mutations in the same frame are coalesced into one. The demo posts to the local mock `POST /docs-mock-api/api/register`.

+
+## Sending again
+
+Keep the decorator in a constant to call `send(component)`. It reads the current body and returns a `Promise<ApiResult<T> | undefined>` resolved once the request completes. Use it for "Save" or "Retry" buttons.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+const signUp = post(new Endpoint&lt;CrewMember&gt;("api/register"), signUpKey);

+
+async retry() {
+  const payload = await signUp.send(this);
+  console.log(payload?.result?.id);
+}
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+The `send` method decorator does the same around a method. It runs after the method by default (waiting for a returned Promise); `{ when: "before" }` sends first.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+import { send } from "@supersoniks/concorde/decorators";
+
+@send(signUp)
+async confirmCheckIn() {
+  // Validate the check-in form, then the POST is sent.
+}
+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+## Manual trigger
+
+Set `autoPostOnBodyMutation: false` when the body is edited field by field (a check-in form) and the request must only go out on `send()` or `triggerKey`. A `triggerKey` publisher lets another component resend: calling `invalidate()` on it sends the current body.
+
+<sonic-code language="typescript">
+  <template>
+const submitKey = new DataProviderKey&lt;number&gt;("checkInSubmit");
+
+@post(checkInEndpoint, checkInKey, {

+  </template>
+</sonic-code>
+
+By default (`skipIfBodyMissing: true`) nothing is sent while the body is `null` or `undefined`. `refetchEveryMs` repeats the request at a fixed interval after each response; use it only when repeating the operation is safe.
+
+## API configuration
+
+Without a configuration key, `serviceURL` and credentials come from the HTML scope, as with [@get](/docs/decorators/get). Pass a `DataProviderKey<APIConfiguration>` as third argument to read them from a publisher; options then move to the fourth argument. See [API configuration](/docs/misc/api-configuration).

+  <template>
+@post(signUpEndpoint, signUpKey, apiConfigurationKey, { skipIfBodyMissing: false })
+  </template>

+
+## Basic usage
+
+Each assignment calls `set()` on the publisher at the [DataProviderKey](/docs/misc/dataProviderKey) path. **On connect, a defined property value is published immediately**, so the initializer overwrites what the store held. Leave the property `undefined` to keep the store value. To read and write the same path, use [@bind](/docs/decorators/bind) with `reflect: true`.
+
+The check-in form below publishes `passenger` and `seat`; the boarding pass reads them back with [sub()](/docs/directives/sub).

+
+## Dynamic path
+
+`${prop}` placeholders resolve from properties of the same component. When a placeholder changes, the property is published to the new path. While it is `null` or `undefined`, nothing is published. Rules and `skipEmptyPlaceholder`: [Dynamic paths](/docs/misc/dynamic-path).
