# Litestate
An ambitiously tiny, gizp ~800b, flux-like progressive state management library inpired by Redux and Vuex.
---
## Features
- [x] Flux pattern
- [x] Immutable state
- [x] Action Mutators
- [x] Computed state
- [x] Subscription
Inspired by Redux and Vuex, **Litestate** removes the boilerplate to keep your state simple, intuitive and immutable.
It follows the flux pattern and let you change your state only via Action Mutators.
**Litestate** is framework agnostic, and can work with React, Vuejs etc.
**Litestate** allows you to mutate your state in place without the need for reducers like Redux or actions and mutations like Vuex.
**Litestate** allows you to write *computed state*, which are functions that select part of your state, to return a new value that will be set in your state.
**Litestate** also provides a subscription method to watch the state
---
## Installation
The best way to import **Litestate** is via ESM JavaScript, where we specify the type as module, and we import it from **unpkg.com**
Make sure `type="module"` exists in the script tag.
```html
import Litestate from '//unpkg.com/litestate';
...
```
Or by installing in your project
```
npm install litestate
```
```js
import Litestate from 'litestate';
```
---
### Create the store
#### **`Litestate({state:{}, ...function ActionMutators})`**
```html
import Litestate from '//unpkg.com/litestate';
const store = Litestate({
state:{
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
count: 0,
/** Computed state: function that returns a new value to the state **/
fullName(state) {
return `${state.firstName} ${state.lastName}`
},
},
/** Action Mutators: functions to update the state **/
setFirstName(state, firstName) {
state.firstName = firstName;
},
setLastName(state, lastName) {
state.lastName = lastName;
},
// Async example
async makeAjaxCall(state, url) {
state.pending = true; // The state will be mutated
state.data = await fetch(url);
state.pending = false; // The state will be mutated
},
// Other action mutators
inc(state) => state.count++,
dec(state) => state.count--,
});
```
---
### State
State are the values that can be initially set, or set via an action mutator.
Initial state can be set during initialization of the store, in the `state` property.
The `state` property is an object that may contains: String, Number, Array, Plain Object, Boolean, Null, Undefined.
If the value of a state property is a function it will be converted into a computed state (read more below)
```js
const store = Litestate({
state: {
name: 'Litestate',
version: '1.x.x',
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
count: 0,
}
})
```
#### Usage
You can access the full state with the method `Litestate.$state()` or by using any state properties.
```js
// get full state object
const myFullState = store.$state();
// or individual property
const name = store.name;
const version = store.version;
```
---
### Actions Mutators
Action mutators are functions that can mutate the state in place. They accept the current `state` as the first argument and can return any values.
Action mutators are set during initialization of the store.
[v.0.12] Action mutators can also call other actions by using `this`.
```js
const store = Litestate({
setFirstName(state, firstName) {
state.firstName = firstName;
},
setLastName(state, lastName) {
state.lastName = lastName;
},
// Async example
async makeAjaxCall(state, url) {
state.pending = true; // The state will be mutated
state.data = await fetch(url);
state.pending = false; // The state will be mutated
},
// Other action mutators
inc(state) => state.count++,
dec(state) => state.count--,
// This action will call other actions
async callMe(state) {
this.inc();
await this.makeAjaxCall();
}
})
```
#### Usage
Run an action mutator by using the function name
```js
store.setFirstName('Mardix');
store.setLastName('M.');
store.inc(); // will increment the count
store.dec(); // will decrement the count
store.callMe(); // will call other actions
```
---
### Computed State
Computed State are function that select part of the state to create new properties.
They are function defined along with the initial state.
The selected value will be assigned to the function's name
```js
const store = Litestate({
state:{
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
count: 0,
/** Computed state: function that returns a new value to the state **/
fullName(state) {
return `${state.firstName} ${state.lastName}`
},
},
...
});
```
A new property `fullName` will be assigned to the state and will contain the returned value.
#### Usage
The same way you would access the initial state, computed states are accessed the same way, by calling the property.
```js
const fullName = store.fullName;
```
---
### Subscribe to changes
You can subscribe to changes in the state. Each time the state is updated it will run a function that you set.
`Litestate.$subscribe(listener:function)`
```js
const unsub = store.$subscribe(state => {
console.log(`I'm updated ${state.count}`);
});
```
#### Unsubscribe to changes
To unsubscribe
```js
const unsub = store.$subscribe(state => {
console.log(`I'm updated ${state.count}`);
});
// This will unsubscribe
unsub();
```
---
### API
`Litestate()` : Initialize the state management
`Litestate.$state()` : returns the state
`Litestate.$subscribe(listener:function)` : subscribe a function to the changes
