Seducer (simple reducer) is a wrapper on top of React.useReducer, making it easier to use
npm install @paprika/seducerReact.useReducer is an awesome hook but more often than not it is overshadow by its relative React.useState which is easier and simpler to use.
Personally, I think is mostly by some of the following reasons:
- Reducers are not the bread and butter of all react-developers unlike React.useState making it harder to memorize.
- Apart from simple examples React.useReducer requires some boilerplate to make it "functional".
- To make it consumable across different components you need to pair it with the React.createContext and you will need more boilerplate to use it.
- And because all above, our beloved React.useState is picked first than React.useReducer each time
To mitigate some of these reasons, Seducer (simple reducer) borned which is a wrapper on top of React.useReducer, making it easier to use and with a more friendly API.
Seducer provides two hooks that you can consume useSeducer and useSeducerWithContext.
``js
import { useSeducer } from "@paprika/seducer";
export default function App() {
function up(state) {
return state + 1;
}
function down(state) {
return state - 1;
}
const [state, dispatch, action] = useSeducer({ up, down }, 0);
return (
<>
{/* alternative you can dispatch("up") directly /}
{state}
>
);
}
