Blog Post

Installation

In your React project folder, run:

yarn add use-sticky-reducer

npm install use-sticky-reducer

This is an ES2022 module and requires Node 18 or later.

💻 Example

// App.tsx

import { useStickyReducer } from './useStickyReducer';

// these are the actions for modifying the state that are allowed
type Action = 'increment' | 'double' | 'reset';

// this is a function that takes the state and handles a given Action
// giving us a new state
function reducer(state: number, action: Action): number {
  if (dispatch === 'increment') {
    return state + 1;
  }
  if (dispatch === 'double') {
    return state * 2;
  }
  if (dispatch === 'reset') {
    return 0;
  }
}

export default function App() {
  const [count, dispatch] = useStickyReducer<number, Action>(
    reducer,
    0,
    'my-key',
    (saved: number) => saved - 2
  );
  return (
    <div>
      <div>Count: {count}</div>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch('increment')}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch('double')}>Double</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch('reset')}>Reset</button>
    </div>
  );
}

📚 Usage

useStickyReducer

import { useStickyReducer } from "use-sticky-reducer";

...

const [state, dispatch] = useStickyState(reducer, defaultValue, storageKey, initialization);

useStickyState

import { useStickyState } from "use-sticky-reducer";

...

const [state, setState] = useStickyState(defaultValue, storageKey, initialization);

With SSR

This package is meant for client-side, browser use. When used in SSR (server-side rendering) it will not fetch the saved state from localStorage, and default the the regular useState or useReducer behavior.
