nstate
nstate is a high-performance React state management library designed for low mental overhead. It features auto-binding, built-in Immer support for immutable updates, and powerful store composition.
Key API Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
setState(patch) |
Updates state via object, updater function, or Immer draft. |
useState(getter) |
React hook to subscribe to specific state slices. |
useWatch(getter, handler) |
Watches state changes and triggers side effects; auto-cleans on unmount. |
useBind(getter) |
Two-way binding for form inputs with type safety. |
useSubStore(getter, setter) |
Creates a synchronized "view" of a parent store's slice. |
useLocalStore(initial, actions) |
Creates a localized store instance within a component. |
Practical Examples
1. The Class-Based Store (Recommended)
Encapsulate logic by extending the NState class.
import NState from 'nstate';
interface CounterState { count: number }
export class CounterStore extends NState<CounterState> {
inc = () => this.setState(s => ({ count: s.count + 1 }));
// Using Immer draft
reset = () => this.setState(draft => { draft.count = 0; });
}
export const counterStore = new CounterStore({ count: 0 });
2. Form Binding with useBind
Eliminate boilerplate onChange handlers while maintaining type safety.
function ProfileEditor() {
const bind = store.useBind(s => s.user);
return (
<input type="text" {...bind('name')} />
/* Automatically handles value and onChange */
);
}
3. Store Composition
You can link stores together using the watch API inside onInit.
export class RootStore extends NState<GlobalState> {
child = new ChildStore({ data: '' });
onInit() {
this.child.watch(s => s.data, (val) => {
console.log("Child store updated global effect:", val);
});
}
}
