react-redux-use-state

It implements redux version of useState hook, leveraging redux functionalities, the state can be shared between components

Why use this hook?

The useState hook can not share state among multiple components. The useContext hook has performance issue. So redux seems to be a good choice for sharing state between components.

Installation via NPM

npm i react-redux-use-state

if you have redux in your project,

import globalStateReducer , then added them to your createStore function

import { globalStateReducer} from 'react-redux-use-state';
export const rootStore = createStore(
    combineReducers({globalStateReducer}),
    compose(applyMiddleware())
)

if you don't have redux in your project

import rootStore, then wrap you component in the redux provider

import { rootStore } from 'react-redux-use-state';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';

ReactDOM.render(
     <Provider store={rootStore}>
        <App />
     </Provider> ,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

hook definition

export function useGlobalState<T>(key: string, initValue: any = undefined) 

the hook returns an array, the first element is the state of the hook, the second element is a function, call the function to set the state.

[T, (val: T) => {}]

you can set many global state, the hook use keys to find the correspond state

Examples

export function CatEdit (){
    const [items, setItems]= useGlobalState<string[]>('cat',[])
    function addCat(){
        setItems([...items, 'cat' + items.length])
    }
    return <Fragment>
        {
            <button onClick={addCat}>add cat</button>
        }
    </Fragment>
}

export function CatList (){
    const [items]= useGlobalState<string[]>('cat')
    return <Fragment>
        {
            items?.map(x=> <div key={x}>{x}</div>)
        }
    </Fragment>
