StateManager.js

A lightweight state management library with an observer pattern. Designed for React and other JavaScript applications that require efficient state updates without unnecessary re-renders.

✅ Features

Features of the Lightweight Subscription System

1. 🔄 Reactivity Without External Libraries

   • You have created a lightweight subscription system (observer pattern) that allows components to update when the state changes without using Redux/Zustand/Recoil.
   • Components receive up-to-date data without unnecessary re-renders.

2. ⚡ High Performance

   • Changes are tracked at the level of individual properties, rather than through a common useState or useReducer.
   • Only subscribed components are updated, not the entire state manager.

3. 🔧 Flexibility in Extension

   • The abstract class StateManager<T> can be used for different types of states.
   • You can create specific state managers (e.g., StateManagerPublic) while retaining basic functionality.

4. 🔐 Encapsulation and Data Protection

   • _state is hidden, so changes can only occur through a Proxy, ensuring the notification system works correctly.

5. 🛠 Automatic Method Binding

   • You use Reflect.get(target, prop, receiver) and Reflect.set(...), making the proxy universal and allowing it to work with both simple fields and methods.
   • Methods can be wrapped in an observer, which is especially useful for business logic.

6. 🎯 Clean API for Subscription

   • attach and detach make event subscription clear and convenient.
   • attach("property", callback) – minimal code for subscribing to any property.

7. 🌍 Suitable for Global State

   • Using clientSingletonBuilder makes the manager a singleton, which is convenient for global data storage.

8. 🖼️ No Unnecessary Re-renders in React

   • Access to state is direct through the singleton (sm().state.property), not through useState or useReducer.
   • Components do not re-render when the state changes unless they are subscribed via attach.
   • Unlike useState, only specific fields are tracked, not the entire state object.
   • You can manage updates more granularly than in Redux, where changes in the store often lead to re-rendering of the entire subscribed component.

🚀 Installation

You can install it using npm:

npm install @your-username/state-manager

or with yarn:

yarn add @your-username/state-manager

📖 Usage

Creating a State Manager

import { StateManager } from "@your-username/state-manager";

type State = {
  count: number;
};

class CounterStateManager extends StateManager<State> {
  public state: State;
  constructor(state: State) {
    super(state);
    this.state = this._buildRoot() as State;
  }
}

const sm = new CounterStateManager({ count: 0 });

sm.attach("count", (value) => {
  console.log("Count changed to:", value);
});

sm.state.count = 5; // Logs: "Count changed to: 5"

Using StateManager in React

import sm from "@/StateManager";

const CounterComponent = () => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const handler = (count: number) => {
      console.log("Count updated:", count);
    };

    sm().attach("count", handler);
    return () => sm().detach("count", handler);
  }, []);

  return <button onClick={() => sm().state.count++}>Increment</button>;
};
