♻️ Reflex
Reflex is a simple state container inspired by Rodux and Silo, designed to be an all-in-one solution for managing and reacting to state in Roblox games.
You can use Reflex with Roact on the client with @rbxts/roact-reflex
, or use it to manage your game's state on the server.
📦 Installation
This package is available for Roblox TypeScript and Wally.
npm install @rbxts/reflex
yarn add @rbxts/reflex
pnpm add @rbxts/reflex
📚 Quick Start
Take me to the documentation →
⚡️ Start using Reflex
Where Rodux uses stores, reducers, and actions, Reflex revolves around actions and producers. Create a producer with an initial state and a set of actions, and you're ready to go.
import { createProducer } from "@rbxts/reflex";
interface State {
count: number;
}
const initialState: State = {
count: 0,
};
const producer = createProducer(initialState, {
increment: (state) => ({ ...state, count: state.count + 1 }),
reset: (state) => ({ ...state, count: 0 }),
});
✨ Use your producer anywhere
Reflex was designed to make managing your state simple and straightforward. Dispatch actions by calling the action directly, and read & subscribe to state with selectors.
const selectCount = (state: State) => state.count;
producer.subscribe(selectCount, (count) => {
print(`The count is now ${count}`);
});
producer.increment(); // The count is now 1
⚛️ Roact Reflex
The official bindings for Reflex and Roact Hooked are available under @rbxts/roact-reflex
. Currently, there is no support for Luau projects.
See the source code on GitHub →
⚙️ Components
Roact Reflex allows you to use your root producer from Roact function components. It exposes a component that you can use to specify the producer for Hooks to use:
<ReflexProvider>
enables Reflex Hooks for a producer.
Roact.mount(
<ReflexProvider producer={producer}>
<App />
</ReflexProvider>,
playerGui,
);
🪝 Context Hooks
You can use Hooks to read and subscribe to state, or to dispatch actions. Use these Hooks in function components that are wrapped in a <ReflexProvider>
.
Use these Hooks to access the root producer and dispatch actions:
useProducer
lets components read and dispatch actions to the root producer.
function Button() {
const { increment } = useProducer();
// ...
🪝 State Hooks
Use these Hooks to read and subscribe to state:
useSelector
lets a component subscribe to a Reflex producer.useSelectorCreator
lets you calluseSelector
with a selector factory.
function Counter() {
const count = useSelector((state) => state.count);
// ...
