Package Exports
- react-hooks-global-state
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-hooks-global-state) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
react-hooks-global-state
Simple global state for React with Hooks API
Introduction
If you ever try to implement a global state with Context and Hooks, you probably find it straightforward. This library provide more or less the same functionality with some following bonuses.
- Optimization for shallow state getter and setter.
- The library cares the state object only one-level deep.
- TypeScript type definitions
- A creator function creates hooks with types inferred.
- Redux middleware support to some extent
- Some of libraries in Redux ecosystem can be used.
- Redux DevTools Extension could be used in a simple scenario.
Due to the fact that this library utilizes unstable_observedBits
for optimization, this library is still in alpha.
Install
npm install react-hooks-global-state
Usage
setState style
import React from 'react';
import { createGlobalState } from 'react-hooks-global-state';
const initialState = { counter: 0 };
const { GlobalStateProvider, useGlobalState } = createGlobalState(initialState);
const Counter = () => {
const [value, update] = useGlobalState('counter');
return (
<div>
<span>Counter: {value}</span>
<button onClick={() => update(v => v + 1)}>+1</button>
<button onClick={() => update(v => v - 1)}>-1</button>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => (
<GlobalStateProvider>
<Counter />
<Counter />
</GlobalStateProvider>
);
reducer style
import React from 'react';
import { createStore } from 'react-hooks-global-state';
const reducer = (state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'increment': return { ...state, counter: state.counter + 1 };
case 'decrement': return { ...state, counter: state.counter - 1 };
default: return state;
}
};
const initialState = { counter: 0 };
const { GlobalStateProvider, dispatch, useGlobalState } = createStore(reducer, initialState);
const Counter = () => {
const [value] = useGlobalState('counter');
return (
<div>
<span>Counter: {value}</span>
<button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'increment' })}>+1</button>
<button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'decrement' })}>-1</button>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => (
<GlobalStateProvider>
<Counter />
<Counter />
</GlobalStateProvider>
);
Examples
The examples folder contains working examples. You can run one of them with

and open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Limitations
- Due to the implementation relying on
observedBits
in the Context API, the performance may drop down if a state holds more than 31 items. Reference: #1
