Contextism 🤩 is a new way to use React Context better.

Read
this
article to become familiar with the idea.






## Installation 🔥

```bash
npm i contextism
// or
yarn add contextism
```

## Usage ✏️
We have two ways to use Contextism, Creating store using it or using its hooks directly:

### #1 createStore ✋

```js
// store.js
import { createStore } from "contextism"
const context = createStore("default value for state")
export const {
Provider,
useDispatchContext,
useStateContext,
useStore,
} = context

// App.jsx
import Div from "./Div"
import { Provider } from "./store"

const App = () => {
const [state, dispatch] = React.useState("Value for state") // or useReducer

return (

// Components you want to use the state there.



)
}

// Div.jsx
import { useStateContext, useDispatchContext, useStore } from "./store"

const Div = () => {
const state = useStateContext() // "Value for state"
const dispatch = useDispatchContext() // dispatch function (setState) in App
// or better one
const [state, dispatch] = useStore()

//return ...
}
```

When we create store using Contextism, it gives us 3 hooks :

- **useStateContext**: the state value that we gave it to state prop in Provider component
- **useDispatchContext**: the setState function or useReducer dispatch that we passed it to dispatch prop
- **useStore**: returns us an array with two values of the above hooks; `[ useStateContext, useDispatchContext ]`

***NOTE***: you should use these hooks( methods of createStore function) in child components of *Provider* component.

### #2 default hooks ✋
Contextism has two hooks beside createStore function:

- **useContext**: takes a React context and returns the value
- **useStore**: takes two React contexts and returns two values of them, the same thing like in the above way but with two arguments

```js
// Store.jsx
export const CountStateContext = React.createContext()
export const CountDispatchContext = React.createContext()
function countReducer(state, action) {
//...
}

export function CountProvider({ children }) {
const [state, dispatch] = React.useReducer(countReducer, { count: 0 })
return (


{children}


)
}
// App.jsx
import { CountProvider } from "./Store"
import Div from "./Div"
export function App() {
return (



)
}
// Div.jsx
import { CountStateContext, CountDispatchContext } from "./Store"
import { useContext, useStore } from "contextism"

export function Div() {
const state = useContext(CountStateContext)
const dispatch = useContext(CountDispatchContext)
// Or much better:
const [state, dispatch] = useStore(CountStateContext, CountDispatchContext)

//return ...
}
```

## Typescript 🔷
Contextism has Typescript support like generics and ... . in **createStore** you can pass two generics too, first one for the state structure and interface, the second one for the useReducer hook.

```ts
type Action = { type: "increment" } | { type: "decrement" }
type State = { count: number }
// The second generic is for useReducer Action
const context = createStore()

// For useState just pass the first generic (State interface generic)
const context = createStore()
```
