state-toggle

What is state-toggle?

The state-toggle npm package provides a simple utility to manage toggle states. It is particularly useful for managing binary states such as on/off, true/false, or active/inactive in applications. This package helps in creating a toggle function that can switch between two states and also provides a method to get the current state.

What are state-toggle's main functionalities?

Creating a toggle

This feature allows you to create a toggle between two states. The `toggle` function initializes the state and provides a method to switch between the initialized states. The example demonstrates initializing a toggle between 'on' and 'off' and toggling between these states.

const toggle = require('state-toggle');
const myToggle = toggle('on', 'off');
console.log(myToggle()); // 'on'
console.log(myToggle.toggle()); // 'off'
console.log(myToggle()); // 'off'

Getting the current state

This feature is used to retrieve the current state of the toggle. The example shows how to initialize a toggle and retrieve the state before and after toggling.

const toggle = require('state-toggle');
const myToggle = toggle('active', 'inactive');
console.log(myToggle()); // 'active'
myToggle.toggle();
console.log(myToggle()); // 'inactive'
