👉 Why choose Reflex?

Quick Start

1. Install the package:

npm i @2toad/reflex

2. Create and use a reactive value:

import { reflex } from '@2toad/reflex';

// Create a reactive value
const counter = reflex({ initialValue: 0 });

// Listen for changes
counter.subscribe(value => {
  console.log('Counter is now:', value);
});

// Update the value
counter.setValue(1);
