EasyState

Simple state manipulation without any frameworks.

Getting started

To get you started, initialize a state tree with the function createStateTree.

const store = createStateTree({
  counter: 1,
});

To retrieve the current state at any point in time, use getState:

store.getState();

To alter any state from your state tree, use setState:

store.setState({
  counter: 2
});

Keep your UI in sync with your state by using subscribe:

store.subscribe(() => {
  myDOMElement.innerHTML = store.getState().counter
});

The beauty of the subscribe-method is that you only need to define your UI-rendering once, and not on every state change you want to do in your application.

For larger applications you can divide your stores into smaller pieces, to get more control over certain parts.

Motivation

I've often come across projects that needed to use plain jquery or vanilla JavaScript instead of any frameworks e.g React or VueJS, and there is one thing I've missed: Possibilty to have application state in sync with my UI without any hassle.

Inspiration

The library is inspired by both React and Redux. It's sort of a Redux-lib, without the reducers, action-creators and dispatching actions, but instead changing state with setState()-method like they do in React.
