Installation

npm i @nalanda/core

# for react
npm i @nalanda/react

Quick Start

Creating a Slice

Lets start by creating a simple counter slice.

import { createKey } from '@nalanda/core';

// The key is a local helper used to define various components of your slice.
const key = createKey('counterSlice', []);

// State fields define part of your state.
const counter = key.field(0);

// Actions define how a field/s should be updated.
function increment() {
  return counter.update((c) => c + 1);
}

// A slice serves as an interface, revealing the specified fields
// and actions to the entire application.
export const counterSlice = key.slice({
  counter,
  increment,
});

Setting up the Store

At the root of your React app, set up a store and encapsulate your app with the StoreProvider component:

import { StoreProvider } from '@nalanda/react';
import { createStore } from '@nalanda/core';
import { counterSlice } from './counter-slice';

// Establish a global store incorporating your slices.
const store = createStore({
  slices: [counterSlice],
});

ReactDOM.render(
  // use the StoreProvider to make the store available to the entire app.
  <StoreProvider store={store}>
    <App />
  </StoreProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root'),
);

Displaying the counter

With the store in place, employ the useSlice hook to access the state and actions from the slice:

import { useTrack, useStore } from '@nalanda/react';
import { counterSlice } from './counter-slice';

export function Counter() {
  // useTrack re-render the component whenever `counter` changes
  const { counter } = useTrack(counterSlice);
  const store = useStore();

  const increment = () => {
    // Dispatch an action to update the slice
    store.dispatch(counterSlice.increment());
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Counter</h1>
      <p>{counter}</p>
      <button onClick={increment}>increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}
