What is nanostores?

Nanostores is a tiny state manager for React, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript. It is designed to be small, fast, and efficient, making it suitable for both small and large applications. Nanostores provides a simple API for creating and managing reactive stores.

What are nanostores's main functionalities?

Creating a Store

Nanostores allows you to create a simple store using the `atom` function. This store can hold any type of data, and you can initialize it with a default value. In this example, a counter store is created with an initial value of 0.

import { atom } from 'nanostores';

const counter = atom(0);

Subscribing to a Store

You can subscribe to changes in a store using the `subscribe` method. This allows you to react to changes in the store's value. In this example, a subscription is set up to log the counter's value whenever it changes.

import { atom } from 'nanostores';

const counter = atom(0);

counter.subscribe(value => {
  console.log('Counter value:', value);
});

Updating a Store

Nanostores provides a `set` method to update the value of a store. You can also use the `get` method to retrieve the current value of the store. In this example, the counter's value is incremented by 1.

import { atom } from 'nanostores';

const counter = atom(0);

counter.set(counter.get() + 1);

Other packages similar to nanostores

zustand

Zustand is a small, fast, and scalable state management solution for React. Like Nanostores, it provides a simple API for creating and managing state. However, Zustand is specifically designed for React, whereas Nanostores supports multiple frameworks including React, Vue, and Svelte.

valtio

Valtio is a proxy-based state management library for React. It allows you to create reactive state objects that automatically update components when the state changes. Valtio is similar to Nanostores in its simplicity and reactivity, but it is more focused on React and uses proxies for state management.

jotai

Jotai is a primitive and flexible state management library for React. It provides atoms as a way to manage state, similar to Nanostores. Jotai is designed to be minimal and composable, focusing on React applications, while Nanostores offers broader framework support.

README

Nano Stores

A tiny state manager for React, React Native, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS. It uses many atomic stores and direct manipulation.

• Small. Between 199 and 938 bytes (minified and gzipped). Zero dependencies. It uses Size Limit to control size.
• Fast. With small atomic and derived stores, you do not need to call the selector function for all components on every store change.
• Tree Shakable. The chunk contains only stores used by components in the chunk.
• Was designed to move logic from components to stores.
• It has good TypeScript support.

// store/users.ts
import { atom } from 'nanostores'

export const users = atom<User[]>([])

export function addUser(user: User) {
  users.set([...users.get(), user]);
}

// store/admins.ts
import { computed } from 'nanostores'
import { users } from './users.js'

export const admins = computed(users, list =>
  list.filter(user => user.isAdmin)
)

// components/admins.tsx
import { useStore } from '@nanostores/react'
import { admins } from '../stores/admins.js'

export const Admins = () => {
  const list = useStore(admins)
  return (
    <ul>
      {list.map(user => <UserItem user={user} />)}
    </ul>
  )
}
