Usage

Create slice configuration file

Whatever the useKillua hook returns, the slice function also returns. Use the useKillua hook within the React framework, and as long as you don't have access to it, use the slice function.

that slice refers to a key within localStorage.

1. Create a slices directory for the thunder configuration.
2. Create the slice configuration file, for example: counter.ts.
3. Set up the slice configuration:

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter', // unique key for localStorage
  defaultClient: 1 as number // default value for client-side application
});

Get data

• Within a React component, utilize the useKillua hook :

import { useKillua } from "killua";
import { counterSlice } from "@/slices/counter";

export default function Component() {
  const localstorageCounter = useKillua(counterSlice);
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{counterSlice.get()}</p>
    </div>
  )
};

• Outside of a React component, employ the slice function :

import { counterSlice } from '@/slices/counter';

export function getCounter() {
  return counterSlice.get();
}

Set data

• Within a React component, utilize the useKillua hook :

import { useKillua } from "killua";
import { counterSlice } from "@/slices/counter";

export default function Component() {
  const localstorageCounter = useKillua(counterSlice);
  return (
    <div>
      {/* without callback */}
      <button onClick={() => counterSlice.set(0)}>Set counter to zero</button>
      {/* with callback */}
      <button onClick={() => counterSlice.set((prev) => prev + 1)}>Increment counter</button>
    </div>
  )
};

• Outside of a React component, employ the slice function :

import { counterSlice } from '@/slices/counter';

// without callback
export function setCounterToZero() {
  counterSlice.set(0);
}

// with callback
export function incrementCounter() {
  counterSlice.set(prev => prev + 1);
}

Use selectors

• To use a selector, simply add it to the slice config :

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  selectors: {
    getPlusOne: (value) => value + 1,
    getPlusWithPayload: (value, payload: number) => value + payload
  }
});

• Within a React component, utilize the useKillua hook :

import { useKillua } from "killua";

export default function Component() {
  const localstorageCounter = useKillua(counterSlice);
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{localstorageCounter.getPlusOne()}</p> {/* without payload */}
      <p>{localstorageCounter.getPlusWithPayload(5)}</p> {/* with payload */}
    </div>
  )
};

• Outside of a React component, employ the slice function :

import { counterSlice } from '@/slices/counter';

// without payload
export function getCounterWithPlusOne() {
  return counterSlice.getPlusOne();
}

// with payload
export function getCounterWithPlusWithPayload() {
  return counterSlice.getPlusWithPayload(5);
}

Use reducers

• To use a reducer, simply add it to the slice config :

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  reducers: {
    increment: (value) => value + 1,
    incrementWithPayload: (value, payload: number) => value + payload
  }
});

• Within a React component, utilize the useKillua hook :

import { useKillua } from "killua";

export default function Component() {
  const localstorageCounter = useKillua(counterSlice);
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => localstorageCounter.increment()}>Increment counter</button> {/* without payload */}
      <button onClick={() => localstorageCounter.incrementWithPayload(5)}>Increment counter with payload</button> {/* with payload */}
    </div>
  )
};

• Outside of a React component, employ the slice function :

import { counterSlice } from '@/slices/counter';

// without payload
export function incrementCounter() {
  counterSlice.increment();
}

Using in SSR application

As long as the initial server-side rendering occurs and there is no access to localStorage, defaultServer will be returned. Later, when the client-side rendering takes place, data will be fetched from localStorage and returned.

As long as defaultServer exists in the config, both the useKillua hook and the slice function will return a property named isReady. If this value is false, it means that it is server-side and localStorage is not accessible, and the returned value is defaultServer.If this value is true, it means that it is client-side and localStorage isaccessible, and the fetched value is from localStorage.

• add defaultServer to the slice configuration :

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  defaultServer: 2 // default value for server-side application
});

• Within a React component, utilize the useKillua hook :

'use client';

import { useKillua } from "killua";

export default function Component() {
  const localstorageCounter = useKillua(counterSlice);
  return (
    <div>
      {localstorageCounter.isReady ? <p>{localstorageCounter.get()}</p> : <p>Loading...</p>}
    </div>
  )
};

• Outside of a React component, employ the slice function :

import { counterSlice } from '@/slices/counter';

export function getCounter() {
  // if is server-side ? return defaultServer : return localStorage value
  return counterSlice.get();
}

// with payload
export function incrementCounterWithPayload() {
  counterSlice.incrementWithPayload(5);
}

Obfuscate data

As long as obsfacte is present in the slice config, your data is not protected but merely obfuscated.

Avoid placing sensitive data on localStorage.

• To obfuscate localStorage data, simply add it to the slice config:

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  obsfacte: true // obfuscate data in localStorage
});

Expire timer

If the localStorage data expires at the moment when a user is on the website and the useKillua hook is in use, the data will be immediately removed from localStorage. Subsequently, the useKillua hook will update and return the defaultClient value.

If the user enters the site and the data has already expired, the defaultClient value will be returned.

• To set an expiration time for localStorage data, simply add it to the slice config :

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  expire: '1d-9h-24m-10s' // expire time for localStorage data (1 day, 9 hours, 24 minutes, 10 seconds)
});

Schema validation

If schema exists in the configuration, when the localStorage is updated using set or reducers, the data will be validated against that schema. If it is not valid, it will not be set on the localStorage.

If schema is exists in the configuration, when the localStorage data is retrieved using selectors or get, and if it is validated against the schema and found to be invalid, the defaultClient value will be returned instead.

• To set a schema for localStorage data, simply add it to the slice config :

import { slice } from 'killua';

export const counterSlice = slice({
  key: 'counter',
  defaultClient: 1 as number,
  schema: z.number().min(0).max(10) // zod schema or yup schema
});
