shared-state-hook

This is a module for React that implements a hook named useSharedState for managing application state. It is similar to the provided hook useState, but rather than associating the state with the component that uses the hook, it stores the state outside of the component so it can be shared by many components.

Install

$ npm install shared-state-hook

Browser

<script src="//unpkg.com/shared-state-hook"></script>

Example

import {useSharedState} from 'shared-state-hook'

const Counter = props => {
  
 const [count, setCount] = useSharedState("counter", props.count)
 
 return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Click me
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
  
const CounterApp1 = props => <Counter count={1}/>
//Order matters, initial value has already been set
const CounterApp2 = props => <Counter count={2}/>

useSharedState

import {useSharedState} from "shared-state-hook"

const Component = props => {
const [userInfo, setUserInfo] = useSharedState("userInfo", optionalInitialValue, optionalOnUpdatesCallback)
return ""
}
//=> "!"

useHooksOutside

Allows you to use React Hooks outside of the function body

Invariant React Error 307

import {useHooksOutside} from "shared-state-hook"

const ReactElement = useHooksOutside(()=>{
    //Call any restricted React Hook outside of a component function body! 
    useState()
    useEffect()
    useContext()
    useSharedState("userInfo", initialValues)
});
//=> "!"

You can initialize useSharedState from useHooksOutside as a external Provider that will both update the shared state by others as well as get notified if anyone else updates the same name share

let notifier
const rel = useHooksOutside(() => {
  const onUpdate = updates => {
    $scope.user = {
        ...$scope.user, ...updates
    }
    $scope.$apply()
  }
  
  const [, setUser] = useSharedState("user", $scope.user, onUpdate)
  notifier=setUser    
})
