use-mutative

A hook to use Mutative as a React hook to efficient update react state immutable with mutable way.

use-mutative is 2-6x faster than useState() with spread operation, more than 10x faster than useImmer(). Read more about the performance comparison in Mutative.

Installation

Yarn

yarn add mutative use-mutative

NPM

API

useMutative()

Provide you can create immutable state easily with mutable way.

import { useMutative } from 'use-mutative';

export function App() {
  const [todos, setTodos] = useMutative([{ text: 'todo' }]);
  return (
    <>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          // set todos with draft mutable
          setTodos((draft) => {
            draft.push({ text: 'todo 2' });
          });
        }}
      >
        click
      </button>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          // also can override value directly
          setTodos([{ text: 'todo' }, { text: 'todo 2' }]);
        }}
      >
        click
      </button>
    </>
  );
}

useMutativeReducer()

Provide you can create immutable state easily with mutable way in reducer way.

For return values that do not contain any drafts, you can use rawReturn() to wrap this return value to improve performance. It ensure that the return value is only returned explicitly.

import { rawReturn } from 'mutative';
import { useMutativeReducer } from 'use-mutative';

const initialState = {
  count: 0,
};

function reducer(
  draft: Draft<typeof initialState>,
  action: { type: 'reset' | 'increment' | 'decrement' }
) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'reset':
      return rawReturn(initialState);
    case 'increment':
      return void draft.count++;
    case 'decrement':
      return void draft.count--;
  }
}

export function App() {
  const [state, dispatch] = useMutativeReducer(reducer, initialState);

  return (
    <div>
      Count: {state.count}
      <br />
      <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'increment' })}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'decrement' })}>Decrement</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'reset' })}>Reset</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Patches

In some cases, you may want to get that patches from your update, we can pass { enablePatches: true } options in useMutative() or useMutativeReducer(), that can provide you the ability to get that patches from pervious action.

const [state, updateState, patches, inversePatches] = useMutative(initState, {
  enablePatches: true,
});

const [state, dispatch, patches, inversePatches] = useMutativeReducer(
  reducer,
  initState,
  initializer,
  { enablePatches: true }
);

patches format will follow https://jsonpatch.com/, but the "path" field be array structure.
