Features

• 🌀 Simple global state management with ContextApi.
• ⚡ Dynamic action dispatching.
• 💾 Temporary state support for transient updates.
• 🔄 Reset and dirty state management.
• 🚫 Add state without re-rendering: Modify or add new state slices without triggering the updated value until you render it.

Installation

Install the package via NPM or Yarn:

npm install zustore
# or
yarn add zustore

Usage

Setup

create the provider if you want to add a initial state or make a actions

if you don’t need the initial state and make a actions don’t add the StateProvider

"use client"; // don’t forget to add use clint if you are in a next.js

import { ReactNode } from "react";
import { CreateDispatch, initial } from "zustore";

const initialState = {
  name: "Ibrahim",
  info: {
    age: 22,
  },
};

const createDispatch = CreateDispatch(({ name, payload, tools }) => {
  const { dispatch, addState } = tools;

  // Action functions
  const setAge = () => {
    const age = payload.value;
    dispatch({ age }, "info"); // Example of using addState
  };

  const lang = () => {
    const { lang } = payload;
    addState({ lang }, "info2"); // Example of using addState
  };

  // Switch based on the function name
  switch (name) {
    case "setAge":
      return setAge();
    case "lang":
      return lang();
    default:
      console.log("No matching action for:", name);
      break;
  }
});

const StateProvider = initial(initialState, createDispatch);

const Root = ({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: ReactNode;
}>) => {
  return <StateProvider>{children}</StateProvider>;
};

export default Root;

Then import the hooks and start managing your global state:

import React from "react";
import { useDispatch, useSelector } from "zustore";

const App = () => {
  const { dispatch, dispatcher, addState } = useDispatch();

  // Accessing state
  const name = useSelector("info.name", "Default Name");
  const age = useSelector("info.age", 0);

  // or can get multiple
  const [name, age] = useSelector(
    ["info.name", "info.age"],
    ["Default Name", 0]
  );

  const updateAge = () => {
    dispatcher("setAge", { value: 22 }); // Dispatch an action to update age
    addState({ job: "front end" }); // this will add a value to state and  not be render until the first dispatch
    // update state
    dispatch({ name: "Ibrahim" }, "info");
    // or
    dispatch({ name: "Ibrahim" });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{name}</h1>
      <p>Age: {age}</p>
      <button onClick={updateAge}>Update Age</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Available Hooks

useDispatch

Provides access to dispatch and state-management methods.

import { useDispatch } from "zustore";

const { dispatch, dispatcher, reset, dirty, addState } = useDispatch();

Methods:

• dispatch: Directly update or replace state.
• dispatcher(action, payload): Dispatch an action using the predefined createDispatch logic.
• reset(keys): Reset specific state slices to their initial values.
• dirty(keys): Remove specific keys from the state.
• addState(newState, key?): Add or update state slices dynamically.

useSelector

Access specific parts of the global state.

import { useSelector } from "zustore";

const value = useSelector("key", "defaultValue");

• key: The state key to retrieve.
• defaultValue: Fallback value if the key does not exist.

---

Global State Example

Customize your initial global state in global-state.ts:

export const globalState = {
  info: {
    name: "John Doe",
    age: 25,
  },
  settings: {
    theme: "light",
    language: "en",
  },
};

---

Custom Actions

Define actions in createDispatch:

import { CreateDispatch } from "zustore";

const createDispatch = CreateDispatch(({ name, payload, tools }) => {
  const { dispatch, addState } = tools;

  // Action functions
  const setAge = () => {
    const age = payload.value;
    dispatch({ age }, "info"); // Example of using addState
  };

  const lang = () => {
    const { lang } = payload;
    addState({ lang }, "info2"); // Example of using addState
  };

  // Switch based on the function name
  /*
      actions => return all actions that you logged
      when you call dispatcher("setAge", { value: 28 })
      (setAge) is the action
    */
  switch (name) {
    case "setAge":
      return setAge();
    case "lang":
      return lang();
    default:
      console.log("No matching action for:", name);
      break;
  }
});

Dispatch actions using dispatcher:

import { useDispatch } from "zustore";
const { dispatcher } = useDispatch();
dispatcher("setAge", { value: 28 });

Reset the value to the initial value in global state reset:

import { useDispatch } from "zustore";
const { reset } = useDispatch();
reset("key");
// or
reset(["key1", "key2"]);

Dirty the value in the state remove the a value in the state dirty:

import { useDispatch } from "zustore";
const { dirty } = useDispatch();
dirty("key");
// or
dirty(["key1", "key2"]);
