Zustood

Zustand is a small, fast and scalable state-management solution battle-tested against common pitfalls, like the dreaded zombie child problem, react concurrency, and context loss between mixed renderers. It may be the one state-manager in the React space that gets all of these right.

As zustand is un-opinionated by design, it's challenging to find out the best patterns to use when creating stores, often leading to boilerplate code.

Zustood, built on top of zustand, is providing a powerful store factory which solves these challenges, so you can focus on your app.

yarn add zustand @udecode/zustood

Visit zustood.udecode.io for the API.

Why zustood over zustand?

• Much less boilerplate
• Modular state management:
  • Derived selectors
  • Derived actions
• immer, devtools and persist middlewares
• Full typescript support

Create a store

import { createStore } from '@udecode/zustood'

const repoStore = createStore('repo')({
  name: 'zustood',
  stars: 0,
})

• the parameter of the first function is the name of the store, this is helpful when you have multiple stores
• the parameter of the second function is the initial state of your store
• the main difference with zustand is that you don't need to define a getter and a setter for each field, these are generated by zustood

Note that the zustand store is accessible through:

// hook store
repoStore.useStore

// vanilla store
repoStore.store

Selectors

Hooks

Use the hooks in React components, no providers needed. Select your state and the component will re-render on changes. Use the use method:

repoStore.use.name()
repoStore.use.stars()

We recommend using the global hooks (see below) to support ESLint hook linting.

Getters

Don't overuse hooks. If you don't need to subscribe to the state, use instead the get method:

repoStore.get.name()
repoStore.get.stars()

You can also get the whole state:

repoStore.get.state()

Extend selectors

You generally want to write derived selectors (those depending on other selectors) for reusability. Zustood supports extending selectors with full typescript support:

const repoStore = createStore('repo')({
  name: 'zustood ',
  stars: 0,
})
  .extendSelectors((set, get, api) => ({
    validName: () => get.name().trim(),
    // other selectors
  }))
  .extendSelectors((set, get, api) => ({
    // get.validName is accessible
    title: (prefix: string) =>
      `${prefix + get.validName()} with ${get.stars()} stars`,
  }))
  // extend again...

Actions

Update your store from anywhere by using the set method:

repoStore.set.name('new name')
repoStore.set.stars(repoStore.get.stars + 1)

Extend actions

You can update the whole state from your app:

store.set.state((draft) => {
  draft.name = 'test';
  draft.stars = 1;
});

However, you generally want to create derived actions for reusability. Zustood supports extending actions with full typescript support:

const repoStore = createStore('repo')({
  name: 'zustood',
  stars: 0,
})
  .extendActions((set, get, api) => ({
    validName: (name: string) => {
      set.name(name.trim());
    },
    // other actions
  }))
  .extendActions((set, get, api) => ({
    reset: (name: string) => {
      // set.validName is accessible
      set.validName(name);
      set.stars(0);
    },
  }))
  // extend again...

Global store

After having created many stores, it can be difficult to remember which one to import. By combining all the stores, selectors and actions, just pick what you need using TS autocomplete.

import { mapValuesKey } from '@udecode/zustood';

// Global store
export const rootStore = {
  auth: authStore,
  combobox: comboboxStore,
  contextMenu: contextMenuStore,
  editor: editorStore,
  modal: modalStore,
  repo: repoStore,
  toolbar: toolbarStore,
};

// Global hook selectors
export const useStore = () => mapValuesKey('use', rootStore);

// Global getter selectors
export const store = mapValuesKey('get', rootStore);

// Global actions
export const actions = mapValuesKey('set', rootStore);

Global hook selectors

useStore().repo.name()
useStore().modal.isOpen()

By using useStore(), ESLint will correctly lint hook errors.

Global getter selectors

store.repo.name()
store.modal.isOpen()

These can be used anywhere.

Global actions

actions.repo.stars(store.repo.stars + 1)
actions.modal.open()

These can be used anywhere.

Options

The second parameter of createStore is for options:

export interface CreateStoreOptions<T extends State> {
  middlewares?: any[];
  devtools?: DevtoolsOptions;
  immer?: ImmerOptions;
  persist?: PersistOptions;
}

Middlewares

Zustood is using these middlewares:

• immer: required. Autofreeze can be enabled using immer.enabledAutoFreeze option.
• devtools: enabled if devtools.enabled option is true.
• persist: enabled if persist.enabled option is true. persist implements PersistOptions interface from zustand
• custom middlewares can be added using middlewares option
