Jotai scales from a simple useState replacement to an enterprise TypeScript application.
- Minimal core API (2kb)
- Many utilities and extensions
- No string keys (compared to Recoil)
First, create a primitive atom
An atom represents a piece of state. All you need is to specify an initial value, which can be primitive values like strings and numbers, objects, and arrays. You can create as many primitive atoms as you want.
1import { atom } from 'jotai' 2 3const countAtom = atom(0) 4const countryAtom = atom('Japan') 5const citiesAtom = atom(['Tokyo', 'Kyoto', 'Osaka']) 6const mangaAtom = atom({ 'Dragon Ball': 1984, 'One Piece': 1997, Naruto: 1999 })
Use the atom in your components
It can be used like React.useState:
1import { useAtom } from 'jotai' 2 3function Counter() { 4 const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom) 5 return ( 6 <h1> 7 {count} 8 <button onClick={() => setCount((c) => c + 1)}>one up</button> 9 ...
Create derived atoms with computed values
A new read-only atom can be created from existing atoms by passing a read
function as the first argument. get allows you to fetch the contextual value
of any atom.
1const doubledCountAtom = atom((get) => get(countAtom) * 2) 2 3function DoubleCounter() { 4 const [doubledCount] = useAtom(doubledCountAtom) 5 return <h2>{doubledCount}</h2> 6}
Creating an atom from multiple atoms
You can combine multiple atoms to create a derived atom.
1const count1 = atom(1) 2const count2 = atom(2) 3const count3 = atom(3) 4 5const sum = atom((get) => get(count1) + get(count2) + get(count3))
Or if you like fp patterns ...
1const atoms = [count1, count2, count3, ...otherAtoms] 2const sum = atom((get) => atoms.map(get).reduce((acc, count) => acc + count))
Derived async atoms 
You can make the read function an async function too.
1const urlAtom = atom('https://json.host.com') 2const fetchUrlAtom = atom(async (get) => { 3 const response = await fetch(get(urlAtom)) 4 return await response.json() 5}) 6 7function Status() { 8 // Re-renders the component after urlAtom is changed and the async function above concludes 9 const [json] = useAtom(fetchUrlAtom) 10 ...
You can create a writable derived atom
Specify a write function at the second argument. get will return the current
value of an atom. set will update the value of an atom.
1const decrementCountAtom = atom( 2 (get) => get(countAtom), 3 (get, set, _arg) => set(countAtom, get(countAtom) - 1) 4) 5 6function Counter() { 7 const [count, decrement] = useAtom(decrementCountAtom) 8 return ( 9 <h1> 10 {count} 11 <button onClick={decrement}>Decrease</button> 12 ...
Write only derived atoms
Just do not define a read function.
1const multiplyCountAtom = atom(null, (get, set, by) => 2 set(countAtom, get(countAtom) * by), 3) 4 5function Controls() { 6 const [, multiply] = useAtom(multiplyCountAtom) 7 return <button onClick={() => multiply(3)}>triple</button> 8}
Async actions
Just make the write function an async function and call set when you're ready.
1const fetchCountAtom = atom( 2 (get) => get(countAtom), 3 async (_get, set, url) => { 4 const response = await fetch(url) 5 set(countAtom, (await response.json()).count) 6 } 7) 8 9function Controls() { 10 const [count, compute] = useAtom(fetchCountAtom) 11 return ( 12 <button onClick={() => compute('http://count.host.com')}>compute</button> 13 ...
Note about functional programming
Jotai's fluid interface is no accident — atoms are monads, just like promises! Monads are an established pattern for modular, pure, robust and understandable code which is optimized for change. Read more about Jotai and monads.
