Hookstate or Redux? Which one is the best state management tool?
Hookstate is a state management library for React that allows you to manage your application's state using React hooks. In this article, we will explore how to use Hookstate in a React application.
First, you will need to install Hookstate by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install --save @hookstate/core
Next, you can create a Hookstate store by calling the useHookstate()
hook and passing in an initial state:
import { useHookstate } from '@hookstate/core';
const state = useHookstate(0);
You can use the get()
and set()
methods of the store to access and update the store's value directly:
import React from 'react';
import { useHookstate } from '@hookstate/core';
export const ExampleComponent = () => {
const countStore = useHookstate(0);
return <>
<b>Counter value: {countStore.get()} </b>
<button onClick={() => countStore.set(p => p + 1)}>Increment</button>
</>
}
One of the key benefits of Hookstate is that it allows you to create multiple stores for different pieces of state in your application, and it makes it easy to access and update these stores from anywhere in your code. For example:
import { hookstate, useHookstate } from '@hookstate/core';
const countStore = hookstate(0);
const nameStore = hookstate('');
function Counter() {
const state = useHookstate(countStore)…
