global-context-store v1.0.3

global-context-store

This package makes managing global state easier.

Usage

First wrap your app with the <Store /> context provider.

import Store from "global-context-store";

// ...
return (
  <Store>
    <App />
  </Store>
)

Then, any descendent of <Store /> can set and retrieve items from the global state via the useStore hook:

import { useStore } from "global-context-store";

function DeepChildComponent() {
    const { set } = useStore()

    set("portfolio.stocks[0]", "AAPL")
}

This will update the state so it looks like:

const { state } = useStore()
console.log(state)

// { portfolio: stocks: [ "AAPL" ]}

set(path, value) uses lodash.set under-the-hood. Hence if a portion of the path doesn't exist, it's created. You can read up more on how it works here: https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#set

We also provide get(path), invoke(path, fn), push(path, value), and unset(path).

const { set, get, invoke, push, unset } = useStore()

set("portfolio.stocks[0]", "AAPL")
get("portfolio") // { stocks: [ "AAPL"] }
get("portfolio.stocks") // [ "AAPL" ]

push("portfolio.stocks", "TSLA")
get("portfolio.stocks") // [ "AAPL", "TSLA" ]

invoke("portfolio.stocks", tickers => ticker.map(ticker => "$" + ticker) )
get("portfolio.stocks") // [ "$AAPL", "$TSLA" ]

unset("portfolio.stocks")
get("portfolio") // { }
