react-hooksack v1.4.11

React HookSack

A lightweight, fully typed store for react, based entirely on hooks.

Keep re-rendering of involved components at a minimum. See this codesandbox with nested components. (thanks to @andrewgreenh for creating #3)

Install

npm install --save react-hooksack
# or
yarn add react-hooksack

Usage

Import

import makeStore from 'react-hooksack';

initialize new store (hook)

const useStore = makeStore(initialValue, reducer);

use within components

// get state and setter
const [state, setState] = useStore();

// or just get state
const state = useStore('justState');

// or just get setter (this one avoid re-renders)
const setState = useStore('justSetter');

Example

use without reducer

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import makeStore from 'react-hooksack';

// util for counting rerenders
import { LogTable, useLogStore } from './logRender';

// make a new store and set it's initial value (to 0)
const useClickStore = makeStore(0);

// a component that subscribes to the current state of "clicks"
// und uses the setter "setClicks"
const ViewAndUpdate = () => {
  // by consuming the state "clicks" this component will rerender
  // every time, "clicks" gets updated
  const [clicks, setClicks] = useClickStore();

  // just to count rerenderings
  const logRender = useLogStore('justSetter');
  React.useEffect(() => logRender('ViewAndUpdate'));

  return (
    <button
      title="ViewAndUpdate"
      onClick={() => setClicks(currentClicks => currentClicks + 1)}
    >
      add click (currently {clicks})
    </button>
  );
};

// a simple component to view the store's state
const ViewOnly = () => {
  // just subsribing to the state of "clicks" - no setter required here
  // this component will rerender with every update of "clicks" too
  const clicks = useClickStore('justState');

  // just to count rerenderings
  const logRender = useLogStore('justSetter');
  React.useEffect(() => logRender('ViewOnly'));

  return (
    <div title="ViewOnly">
      <span>clicks: {clicks}</span>
    </div>
  );
};

// a component that will only set the new state for "clicks"
const UpdateOnly = () => {
  // by just using the setter for "clicks" this component will not
  // rerender every time "clicks" updates
  const setClicks = useClickStore('justSetter');

  // just to count rerenderings
  const logRender = useLogStore('justSetter');
  React.useEffect(() => logRender('UpdateOnly'));

  return (
    <button title="UpdateOnly" onClick={() => setClicks(clicks => clicks + 1)}>
      add click
    </button>
  );
};

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <ViewOnly />
    <ViewAndUpdate />
    <UpdateOnly />
    <hr />
    <LogTable />
  </div>
);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

use with reducer

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import makeStore from 'react-hooksack';

// shape a ToDo
interface Todo {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  done: boolean;
}

// define the ToDo store reducer
const reducer = (
  state: Todo[],
  action: { type: 'add' | 'del' | 'toggle'; todo: Todo },
) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'add':
      // ensure to always return a new object
      return [...state, action.todo];

    case 'del':
      // ensure to always return a new object
      return state.filter(todo => todo !== action.todo);

    case 'toggle':
      // ensure to always return a new object
      return state.map(todo =>
        todo === action.todo ? { ...todo, done: !todo.done } : todo,
      );

    default:
      throw new Error();
  }
};

// make a new store, set it's initial value and pass reducer
const useTodoStore = makeStore(
  [
    { id: 1, done: false, name: 'remember the milk' },
    { id: 2, done: false, name: 'feed the cat' },
    { id: 3, done: true, name: 'walk the dog' },
    { id: 4, done: true, name: "order a table at Luigi's" },
  ],
  reducer,
);

// component to render and toggle a Todo
const Todo: React.FC<{ todo: Todo }> = ({ todo }) => {

  const style = {
    textDecoration: todo.done ? 'line-through' : undefined,
  };
  const handleChange = () => {

  };

  return (

      <input type="checkbox" checked={todo.done} onChange={handleChange} />
      <span style={style}>{todo.name}</span>
    </li>
  );
};

// component to render a list of Todos
const TodoList: React.FC<{ todos: Todo[] }> = ({ todos }) => (
  <ul>
    {todos.map(todo => (
      <Todo key={todo.id} todo={todo} />
    ))}
  </ul>
);

// component to tell appart already done Todos from to be tone ones
const AllTodos = () => {
  const todos = useTodoStore('justState');
  const toBeDone = todos.filter(todo => todo.done === false);
  const done = todos.filter(todo => todo.done);

  return (
    <div>
      {toBeDone.length > 0 && (
        <div>
          <h1>to be done</h1>
          <TodoList todos={toBeDone} />
        </div>
      )}
      {done.length > 0 && (
        <div>
          <h1>already done</h1>
          <TodoList todos={done} />
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

// component to add a new, undone todo
const AddTodo = () => {
  const dispatchTodos = useTodoStore('justSetter');
  const todoInput = React.useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
  const addTodo = () => {
    if (todoInput && todoInput.current) {
      const name = todoInput.current.value;
      dispatchTodos({
        type: 'add',
        todo: { name, done: false, id: Date.now() },
      });
      todoInput.current.value = '';
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input ref={todoInput} placeholder="new Todo name" />
      <button onClick={addTodo}>add</button>
    </div>
  );
};

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <AllTodos />
    <AddTodo />
  </div>
);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Why

I got inspired by a blog post of Jhonny Michel. He also released react-hookstore but I:

• don't like to register a new store with a string passed
• prefer functions over classes
• like Typescript / type support
