ssws

SSWS is pronounced "swiss" and stands for Svelte stores without Svelte. True to its name, it's essentially just a copy of Svelte stores — plus some additional store types and a React hook for subscribing to updates.

Installation

npm install ssws --save
# Or if using yarn
yarn add ssws

Usage

• writable
• readable
• derived
• immutable
• reducible
• get
• useStore

writable

Creates a store whose state can be updated from the outside via set and update methods.

import { writable } from 'ssws';
const counter = writable(0);

// Use `set` to replace the current store value:
counter.set(1);

// Use `update` to derive the next state from the current:
counter.update(count => count + 10);

readable

Creates a read-only store whose value cannot be updated from the outside. It has no set or update methods, only subscribe. The value can be updated within the start callback, however:

import { readable } from 'ssws';

const time = readable(null, set => {
  set(new Date());

  const interval = setInterval(() => {
    set(new Date());
  }, 1000);

  return () => clearInterval(interval);
});

immutable

Creates a writable store with limitations around how updates work. Immutable stores can only be updated via the update method. The callback passed to update receives a clone of the current state in order to derive the next. If the callback returns a value, that value is merged with the current state, allowing you to return partial state updates. If the callback returns undefined then the cloned state replaces the current state, enabling you to simply mutate the clone.

import { immutable, get } from 'ssws';
const store = immutable({ names: [] });

// Return partial updates to be shallowly merged with the current state
store.update(state => ({ places: [] });

get(store); // { names: [], places: [] }

// Mutate the cloned state directly and return nothing
store.update(state => {
  delete state.places;
  state.names.push('Bailey');
});

get(store); // { names: ['Bailey'] }

reducible

Creates a store that works as a reducer. Rather than methods to set or update state directly, it has a dispatch method to pass actions to the reducer. Reducers are immutable since reducible is a wrapper around immutable. The state that the reducer receives is a clone of the current state, like with immutable().update, so reducers can return partial state updates or mutate the cloned state and return nothing.

import { reducible } from 'ssws';

const todoStore = reducible({
  initialValue: { todos: [] },
  reducer(state, action) {
    switch (action.type) {
      case 'DELETE_TODO':
        // Return partial state updates
        return { todos: state.todos.filter(todo => todo !== action.todo) };
      case 'ADD_TODO':
        // Mutate the cloned state directly and return nothing
        state.todos.push(action.todo);
        return;
      default:
        return state;
    }
  }
});

todo.dispatch({ type: 'ADD_TODO, todo: 'Play with puppies' });

derived

Derives a store from one or more other stores. Whenever one of the dependencies updates, the callback runs and the derived store value is recalculated.

import { derived, writable, get } from 'ssws';
const dogs = writable(2);
const cats = writable(0);
const allPets = derived(
  [dogs, cats],
  ([dogCount, catCount]) => dogCount + catCount
);

get(allPets); // 2

cats.set(2);
get(allPets); // 4

get

Synchronously get the current state of a store

import { get, writable } from 'ssws';

const store = writable(0);
get(store); // 0

useStore

Access store state in React components using the useStore hook to subscribe to updates. Selectors can be either a function or a string.

import { writable } from 'ssws';
import { useStore } from 'ssws/react';

const $todos = writable({ todos: ['Play with a puppy'] });

function Todos() {
  const todos = useStore($todos, state => state.todos);
  const firstTodo = useStore($todos, 'todos.0');
}

useStore will only cause a rerender if the selected state changes, based on an equality function. By default, only referential equality is checked. So if you're using reducible or immutable and your selector returns an object or array, it will likely always fail the equality check and trigger a rerender. If your selector returns a non-primitive value, it's recommended to use multiple useStore hooks that do or pass in a custom equality function as a third argument:

import { immutable } from 'ssws';
import { useStore } from 'ssws/react';
import shallowEqual from 'shallowequal';

const $todos = immutable({ todos: [{ title: 'Play with puppies' }] });

function Todos() {
  const firstTodo = useStore($todos, 'todos.0', shallowEqual);
}
