React Purely Stateful

If you prefer to write functional components, but have a need to manage a small amount of state, but don't want to go through all the boilerplate of Redux (or your external statment management library of choice), then the stateful higher-order component is just what you're after.

Inspired by the React Redux bindings, stateful allows you to seperate the state and view into container and presentational components so you can enjoy all the simplicity of functional components, with the addition of some stateful behaviour.

This is ideal for those small pieces of state that don't belong with your application state, such as temporary text in an input, the open state of a menu, the currently selected tab, or many other things that only the single component cares about. Redux (or your external statment management library of choice) is still recommended for any application state you want to store.

Installation

NPM

npm install --save react-purely-stateful

This assumes that you’re using npm package manager with a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify to consume CommonJS modules.

Usage

Basic

import stateful from 'react-purely-stateful'

const MyComponent = ({text, setText}) => {
    return <input value={text} onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)} />
}

export default stateful({ text: "initial value" })(MyComponent)
