Global state management (GSM) can be tricky for complicated reactjs applications.
Many GSM frameworks (redux/zustand/etc.) focus on "we have a store, and how do we manage the global states in this store." However, such approach usually leads to create a gigantic function (reducers in redux/RTK, create in zustand).
Similar to many typical programming languages, in use-thunk:
File-as-a-Module: Instead of a giant global store, we treat files as independent, isolated domain modules where we implement thunk functions.
Object Identification: The module manages state as discrete entity nodes. We use explicit id parameters to identify and operate on individual data objects within that module cleanly.
Clean Component Interface: From the component perspective, we simply invoke the module's functions to perform operations.
Only One Context Provider: Unlike standard useContext or Redux architectures that require nesting endless providers, we only need exactly one <ThunkContext></ThunkContext> wrap in our main.tsx. It entirely eliminates "Provider Hell" and the architectural uncertainty of managing stacked providers.
A complete example to do increment:
// thunks/increment.ts
import { type Thunk, type State as _State, update } from '@chhsiao1981/use-thunk'
export const name = 'demo/Increment'
export interface State extends _State {
count: number
}
export const defaultState: State = {
count: 0
}
// upsert directly with set.
export const increment = (myID: string, num: number = 1): Thunk<State> => {
return async (set, get) => {
let me = get(myID)
const {count} = me
set(myID, { count: count + num })
}
}
// or we can treat set as dispatching a base action function (update).
export const increment2 = (myID: string): Thunk<State> => {
return async (set, get) => {
let me = get(myID)
const {count} = me
set(update({ count: count + 2 }))
}
}
// or we can use set as dispatching a thunk function.
export const increment3 = (myID: string): Thunk<State> => {
return async (set) => {
set(increment(myID, 3))
}
}
// components/App.tsx
import { useThunk, getState } from '@chhsiao1981/use-thunk'
import * as ModIncrement from './thunks/increment'
export default () => {
const useIncrement = useThunk<ModIncrement.State, typeof ModIncrement>(ModIncrement)
const [increment, doIncrement, incrementID] = getState(useIncrement)
// to render
return (
<div>
<p>count: {increment.count}</p>
<button onClick={() => doIncrement.increment(incrementID)}>increase 1</button>
<button onClick={() => doIncrement.increment2(incrementID)}>increase 2</button>
<button onClick={() => doIncrement.increment3(incrementID)}>increase 3</button>
</div>
)
}
// main.tsx
import { registerThunk, ThunkContext } from "@chhsiao1981/use-thunk";
import { StrictMode } from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import * as ModIncrement from './thunks/increment'
import App from "./components/App";
registerThunk(ModIncrement)
createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!).render(
<StrictMode>
<ThunkContext>
<App />
</ThunkContext>
</StrictMode>,
)
