picco

---

Picco is a tiny state management library for react. It is heavily inspired by zustand.

Picco's API is intentionally kept minimal and as close to the native useState react hook as possible. Think of it as useState with goodies.

---

installation

npm install picco --save # or yarn add picco

usage

import { create } from "picco";

const useCounterStore = create(0);

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useCounterStore();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{count}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Or you can use create to create actions to modify the state.

const useCounterStore = create(0, (set) => ({
  increment: () => set((count) => count + 1),
  decrement: () => set((count) => count - 1),
}));

All the actions become available to the setState function.

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useCounterStore();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{count}</h1>
      <button onClick={setCount.increment}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={setCount.decrement}>Decrement</button>
    </div>
  );
}

The hook also has a getState, setState and subscribe function. Use them to get the current state, set the state and subscribe to state changes outside the react components.

const useCounterStore = create(0);

// subscribe to state changes
useCounterStore.subscribe((count) => console.log(count));

// or get the current state
const count = useCounterStore.getState();

It's render optimized. It only re-renders the components when the part of the state they are subscribed to changes.

const useCoordinates = create({ x: 0, y: 0 }, (set) => ({
  setX: (x) => set({ x }),
  setY: (y) => set({ y }),
}));

function X() {
  const [x, setState] = useCoordinates((state) => state.x);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{x}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setState.setX(x + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}

The above component will only re-render when the x value changes.
