zustand-tracked

A small library that allows all your zustand store selectors to be tracked, optimizing computations and rerenders.

Why?

Updating any data in your store triggers all selectors to recompute, which can be costly with many or complex selectors. This library optimizes performance by tracking dependencies and only recomputing affected selectors.

Installation

npm install zustand-tracked

Usage Example

import { createTracked } from 'zustand-tracked';

type State = {
  count: number;
  increment: () => void;
};

const useStore = createTracked<State>((set) => ({
  count: 0,
  increment: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
}));

function App() {
  const count = useStore((state) => state.count);
  const increment = useStore((state) => state.increment);
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Tracked Computer Example</h1>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}

API

Method	Description
createTracked	Create a store with tracked selectors.
useTrackedStore	A hook to access the store with tracked selectors.
createTrackedWithEqualityFn	Create a store with tracked selectors and a custom equality function.
useTrackedStoreWithEqualityFn	A hook to access the store with tracked selectors and a custom equality function.
createTrackedComputer	Create a tracked computer that can be used to compute derived state based on the store's state.

Optimal Performance

For optimal performance, it is best to use createTrackedWithEqualityFn or useTrackedStoreWithEqualityFn with useCallback for the selector. This ensures that the selector is only recomputed when its dependencies change.

const value = useStore(
  useCallback((state) => {
    //...some expensive computation
  }, []),
  (a, b) => a === b
);

Keep in mind that using useCallback is not always necessary, but it can help with performance in some cases. If you find that your selectors are being recomputed too often or are very complex, consider using useCallback to memoize them.
