react-zap-state

Simple react utility to improve local-state experience

Install

npm install --save react-zap-state

or

yarn add react-zap-state

Features

• react-zap-state uses state updation approach from class based component.
• It memoization to the component by default.
• It keeps the state outside the component so the code looks more neat and easy to read.
• For older version (< v18) of react react-zap-state provides batched state updates.

Why

react-zap-state if trying to help with some of the issues with react functional component -

• Most of the react component need memoization.
• A lot of components have multiple states, which makes it hard to manage them and code becomes hard to read and understand.
• Sometimes there are things which needs to be done only after the state is updated, currently useEffect is used to watch the changes in state (developer also need to make sure to handle the intital state in useEffect, which creates more boilerplate code).

Exmples

Basic

Javascript

import { zap } from  "react-zap-state";

const appState = {
    count: 1
};

function App({state}) {
    const updateCount = () => {
        state.set({count: state.count+1}, () => {
            console.log("state updated");
        });
    };

    return (
        <button onClick={updateCount}> count: {state.count} </button>
    );
};

export default zap(App, appState);

Typescript

import { zap, ZapProps } from  "react-zap-state";

const appState = {
    count: 1
};
type AppProps = ZapProps<typeof appState> & {
    // add props here
}
function App({state}: AppProps) {
    const updateCount = () => {
        state.set({count: state.count+1}, () => {
            console.log("state updated");
        });
    };

    return (
        <button onClick={updateCount}> count: {state.count} </button>
    );
};

export default zap<AppProps>(App, appState);

Derive state from props

    export default zap(Component, (props) => {
        // return state
        return {
            ...
        }
    });
