Description
react-atom provides a very simple way to manage state in React, for both global app state and for local component state: ✨Atoms✨.
Put your state in an Atom:
1import { Atom } from "@dbeining/react-atom"; 2 3const appState = Atom.of({ 4 color: "blue", 5 userId: 1 6});
Read state with deref
You can't inspect Atom state directly, you have to dereference it, like this:
1import { deref } from "@dbeining/react-atom"; 2 3const { color } = deref(appState);
Update state with swap
You can't modify an Atom directly. The main way to update state is with swap. Here's its call signature:
1function swap<S>(atom: Atom<S>, updateFn: (state: S) => S): void;
updateFn is applied to atom's state and the return value is set as atom's new state. There are just two simple rules for updateFn:
- it must return a value of the same type/interface as the previous state
- it must not mutate the previous state
To illustrate, here is how we might update appState's color:
1import { swap } from "@dbeining/react-atom"; 2 3const setColor = color => 4 swap(appState, state => ({ 5 ...state, 6 color: color 7 }));
Take notice that our updateFn is spreading the old state onto a new object before overriding color. This is an easy way to obey the rules of updateFn.
Side-Effects? Just use swap
You don't need to do anything special for managing side-effects. Just write your IO-related logic as per usual, and call swap when you've got what you need. For example:
1const saveColor = async color => { 2 const { userId } = deref(appState); 3 const theme = await post(`/api/user/${userId}/theme`, { color }); 4 swap(appState, state => ({ ...state, color: theme.color })); 5};
Re-render components on state change with the ✨useAtom✨ custom React hook
useAtom is a custom React Hook. It does two things:
- returns the current state of an atom (like
deref), and - subscribes your component to the atom so that it re-renders every time its state changes
It looks like this:
1export function ColorReporter(props) { 2 const { color, userId } = useAtom(appState); 3 4 return ( 5 <div> 6 <p> 7 User {userId} has selected {color} 8 </p> 9 {/* `useAtom` hook will trigger a re-render on `swap` */} 10 <button onClick={() => swap(appState, setRandomColor)}>Change Color</button> 11 </div> 12 ); 13}
Nota Bene: You can also use a selector to subscribe to computed state by using the
options.selectargument. Read the docs for details.
Why use react-atom?
???? Tiny API / learning curve
`Atom.of`, `useAtom`, and `swap` will cover the vast majority of use cases.
???? No boilerplate, just predictable state management
Reducers? Actions? Thunks? Sagas? Nope, just `swap(atom, state => newState)`.
???? Tuned for performant component rendering
TheuseAtomhook accepts an optionalselectfunction that lets components subscribe to computed state. That means the component will only re-render when the value returned fromselectchanges.
???? React.useState doesn't play nice with React.memo
useStateis cool until you realize that in most cases it forces you to pass new function instances through props on every render because you usually need to wrap thesetStatefunction in another function. That makes it hard to take advantage ofReact.memo. For example:---1function Awkwardddd(props) { 2 const [name, setName] = useState(""); 3 const [bigState, setBigState] = useState({ ...useYourImagination }); 4 5 const updateName = evt => setName(evt.target.value); 6 const handleDidComplete = val => setBigState({ ...bigState, inner: val }); 7 8 return ( 9 <> 10 <input type="text" value={name} onChange={updateName} /> 11 <ExpensiveButMemoized data={bigState} onComplete={handleDidComplete} /> 12 </> 13 ); 14}Every time
inputfiresonChange,ExpensiveButMemoizedhas to re-render becausehandleDidCompleteis not strictly equal (===) to the last instance passed down.The React docs admit this is awkward and suggest using Context to work around it, because the alternative is super convoluted.
With
react-atom, this problem doesn't even exist. You can define your update functions outside the component so they are referentially stable across renders.1const state = Atom.of({ name, bigState: { ...useYourImagination } }); 2 3const updateName = ({ target }) => swap(state, prev => ({ ...prev, name: target.value })); 4 5const handleDidComplete = val => 6 swap(state, prev => ({ 7 ...prev, 8 bigState: { ...prev.bigState, inner: val } 9 })); 10 11function SoSmoooooth(props) { 12 const { name, bigState } = useAtom(state); 13 14 return ( 15 <> 16 <input type="text" value={name} onChange={updateName} /> 17 <ExpensiveButMemoized data={bigState} onComplete={handleDidComplete} /> 18 </> 19 ); 20}
TS First-class TypeScript support
react-atom is written in TypeScript so that every release is published with correct, high quality typings.
???? Tiny footprint
⚛️ Embraces React's future with Hooks
Hooks will makeclasscomponents and their kind (higher-order components, render-prop components, and function-as-child components) obsolete.react-atommakes it easy to manage shared state with just function components and hooks.
Installation
npm i -S @dbeining/react-atom
Dependencies
react-atom has one bundled dependency, @libre/atom, which provides the Atom data type. It is re-exported in its entirety from @dbeining/atom. You may want to reference the docs here.
react-atom also has two peerDependencies, namely, react@^16.8.0 and react-dom@^16.8.0, which contain the Hooks API.
