Zustand Sync Middleware
This middleware for Zustand allows you to synchronize store data between different browser tabs. When the state changes in one tab, the updated state will be reflected in all other open tabs. You can use this with zustand/persist with no issues.
Syncing is only supported with localStorage (duh).
Demo: https://zustand-sync.netlify.app/
Codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/zustand-sync-zk5dvg
Installation
To install the middleware, you can use pnpm, npm or yarn:
pnpm add @alimert/zustand-sync
# or
npm install @alimert/zustand-sync
# or
yarn add @alimert/zustand-sync
Usage
To use the middleware, import it and apply it to your Zustand store:
import create from "zustand";
import sync from "@alimert/zustand-sync";
const useStore = create(
sync((set) => ({
// ...your slices
}))
);
Usage with zustand/persist
You have to put sync middleware before persist middleware. Share the key you used to persist your store at. (This is used to watch localStorage[persistanceKey])
Additionally, you can add enabled: false to skip the middleware.
import create from "zustand";
import sync from "@alimert/zustand-sync";
const storageUnit = localStorage;
const persistanceKey = "persisted-store";
const persistOptions = {
name: persistanceKey,
storage: createJSONStorage(() => storageUnit),
partialize: (state) => ({
count: state.count,
name: state.name,
}),
};
const syncOptions = {
name: persistanceKey,
enabled: storageUnit === localStorage,
};
const useStore = create(
persist(
sync(
(set) => ({
// ...your slices
}),
syncOptions
),
persistOptions
)
);
export default useStore;
