use-react-state

react useState is now more intelligent

Overview

use-react-state is an advanced implementation of react component setState to be used as a hook in function components. It gives almost same and more functionality as react component setState.

Why?

😢😭😿

import { useState } from 'react'

function Component(){
  const [first, setFirst] = useState(1)
  const [second, setSecond] = useState(2)
  const [third, setThird] = useState(3)
  const [fourth, setFourth] = useState(4)

  const changeFirstAndSecond = () => {
    setFirst(10)
    setSecond(20)
    // 2x re-render
  }

  const resetState = () => {
    setFirst(1)
    setSecond(2)
    setThird(3)
    setFourth(4)
    // 4x re-render
  }
}

😊😃😺😄

import useState from 'use-react-state'

function Component(){
  const [state, setState] = useState({
    first: 1,
    second: 2,
    third: 3,
    fourth: 4,
  })

  const changeFirstAndSecond = () => {
    setState({
      first: 10,
      second: 20,
    })
    // 1x re-render
  }

  const resetState = () => {
    setState({
      first: 1,
      second: 2,
      third: 3,
      fourth: 4,
    })
    // 1x re-render
  }
}

Install

yarn add use-react-state

Usage

import React from 'react'

import useState from 'use-react-state'

const App = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useState({ nine: 9 })

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Nine: is {state.nine}</p>

      <button onClick={() => setState(({ nine }) => ({ nine: nine + 1 }))}>
        Increaae state.nine by 1
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

APIs

useState

is a Hook that lets you add React state to function components.

@params

• name	description	type
  initialState?	state's initial state	any

@return

• type array
• • state | current state value | any
• • setState | function to update the state | function
• • stateRef | state reference | object

import useState from 'use-react-state'
const [state, setState, stateRef] = useState(initialState)

setState

function to update the state. setState is an intelligent setter function which guesses how you intends to update an existing state. When array is passed as the new state, it assumes you will append the newState array with the current state if current state is an array else it replaces the state. same goes for objects.

@params

• name	description	type
  newState|callback	new state to set or setter callback	any

using setState

Given the 1st example below, setState will merge new state object with existing state given that existing state is an object.

import useState from 'use-react-state'

const [state, setState, stateRef] = useState({ foo: 'foo' })

// merge state object
setState({ bar: 'bar' }) // {foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}

// replace state
setState('foo') // 'foo'

// replace state
setState(['foo']) // ['foo']

// push state array
setState(['bar']) // ['foo', 'bar']

// custom state setter
setState((existingDraftState) => {

  return ['baz']

}) // ['baz']

using setState's immer produce feature

setState uses immer's produce feature for state mutation. Your are not limited to using the functionality as well.

import useState from 'use-react-state'

const [state, setState] = useState({ foo: 'foo' })

// custom state setter with immer feature
setState((existingDraftState) => {

  existingDraftState.bar = 'bar'

}) // {foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}
