# Yjs Middleware for Zustand



One of the difficult things about using Yjs is that it's not easily integrated

with modern state management libraries in React. This middleware for Zustand

solves that problem by allowing a Zustand store to be turned into a CRDT, with

the store's state replicated to all peers.



This differs from the other Yjs and Zustand solution, `zustand-yjs` by allowing

any Zustand store be turned into a CRDT. This contrasts with `zustand-yjs`'s

solution, which uses a Zustand store to collect shared types and access them

through special hooks.



Because this solution is simply a middleware, it can also work anywhere Zustand

can be used. The vanilla Zustand `create()` function handles middleware exactly

the same as the React version. And not only that, but it can be composed with

other middleware, such as Immer or Redux!



## Example



```tsx

import React from "react";

import { render } from "react-dom";



import * as Y from "yjs";

import create from "zustand";

import yjs from "zustand-middleware-yjs";



// Create a Y Doc to place our store in.

const ydoc = new Y.Doc();



// Create the Zustand store.

const useSharedStore = create(

  // Wrap the store creator with the Yjs middleware.

  yjs(

    // Provide the Y Doc and the name of the shared type that will be used

    // to hold the store.

    ydoc, "shared",

          

    // Create the store as you would normally.

    (set) =>

      ({

        count: 0,

        increment: () =>

          set(

            (state) =>

            ({

              count: state.count + 1,

            })

          ),

      })

  )

);



// Use the shared store like you normally would any other Zustand store.

const App = () =>

{

  const { count, increment } = useSharedStore((state) =>

    ({

      count: state.count,

      increment: state.increment

    }));



  return (

    <>

      
count: {count}


       increment()}>+

    >

  );

};



render(

  ,

  document.getElementById("app-root")

);

```



## Caveats



 1. The Yjs awareness protocol is not supported. At the moment, it is unclear

    if the library is able to support Yjs protocols. This means that, for now,

    support for the awareness protocol is not planned.

      * This does not mean you cannot use awareness in your projects - see the

        sister project [y-react](joebobmiles/y-react) for an example of using

        awareness without the middleware.
