estate

• TINY (0.5kb) 🔥
• Written in Typescript
• Typings for autocomplete automatically shipped.
• Internally uses React.Context and useState
• SSR support

Installation

yarn add estate immer

npm install estate immer --save

How does it work?

Essentially it's a modifyable react context. It uses react's context API and states to store and edit the data. It uses immer (shipped with redux-toolkit) to make sure that the data is immutable.

What it is

• A tiny state machine for component trees.
• Editable react contexts

What it is not

• A replacement to redux, mobx etc.
• A global state machine

How to use it

const CounterEstate = createEstate({
  initialState: {
    count: 0,
  },
  actions: {
    increment(state) {
      state.count++;
    },
    decrement(state) {
      state.count--;
    },
    setCount(state, by: number) {
      state.count = by;
    },
  },
});

function Counter() {
  return (
    <CounterEstate.Root>
      <Count />
    </CounterEstate.Root>
  );
}

function Count() {
  const {
    state: { count },
  } = useEstate(CounterEstate);

  return <div>count: {count}</div>;
}

function Buttons() {
  const { increment, decrement, setCount } = useEstate(CounterEstate);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => increment()}>+</button>
      <button onClick={() => decrement()}>-</button>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(5)}>Set to 5</button>
    </div>
  );
}

How it can be used

Compared to a global state where this could get a bit annoying with props drilling and internal state management, this is a little more declarative.

In this example we render three Counters (see above). They all have their own context and it's children can read/edit the state for that tree.

function App(){
  return (
    <div style={{ display: "flex", gap: 40 }}>
      <Counter />
      <Counter />
      <Counter />
    </div>
  );
}

• HOC's for Root and a connector for class components.
