use-classic-state

Installation

npm install use-classic-state

The problem

While refactoring old code we don't want to split existing state (which can be complex ☝️) and rewrite it to multiple useState

The solution / Usage

A well tested custom hook with callback fn as a 2nd argument for setState, which is available for setState only in class components!

Basic Example

import React from 'react'
 
import { useClassicState } from 'use-classic-state'
 
const App = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useClassicState({
    count: 10,
    error: false,
  })
  const increment = () => {
    setState(state => ({ ...state, count: state.count + 1 }))
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <div>👋</div>
      <div onClick={increment}>{state.count}</div>
    </div>
  )
}

Example with callback

🆘🚨⚡️☝️

Important note - it is recommended that your callback fn is void function

In most cases you want this to do some closeModal of notification things.

The worst case - you want to read already updated state here, but this is not recommended, instead do this with useUffect

import React from 'react';
 
import { useClassicState } from 'use-classic-state';
 
const App = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useClassicState({
    count: 10,
    error: false,
  })
  const increment = () => {
    setState(state => ({ ...state, count: state.count + 1 }), () => console.log('done')))
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <div onClick={increment}>👋</div>
      <div>
        {state.count} // 10 -> 11 after `setState`
      </div>
      <div>
        {state.error} // false
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

Example with Partial state (will be merged with prevState)

import React from 'react'
 
import { useClassicState } from 'use-classic-state'
 
const App = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useClassicState({
    count: 10,
    error: false,
  })
  const setTo100 = () => {
    setState({ count: 100 })
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <div onClick={setTo100}>👋</div>
      // 10 -> 100 after `setState`
      <div>{state.count}</div>
      // false
      <div>{state.error}</div>
    </div>
  )
}
