🤔 Why React Pouch?

Traditional state management:

``jsx
// 😰 Complex setup with providers, actions, reducers...



`

React Pouch:

`jsx
// 😎 Just create and use - that's it!
const count = pouch(0);
count.set(5); // Done! 🎉
`

No more:

- ❌ Provider wrappers
- ❌ Action creators
- ❌ Reducers
- ❌ Complex dispatch logic
- ❌ Context configuration
- ❌ Boilerplate code

Just pure simplicity:

- ✅ Create store in one line
- ✅ Use anywhere in your app
- ✅ TypeScript built-in
- ✅ React hooks ready
- ✅ Extensible with plugins

📦 Installation

`bash


🚀 Install with your favorite package manager

src/stores/counterStore.ts
`typescript
import { pouch } from "react-pouch";

// 🎯 Create the pouch - your state container
export const counterPouch = pouch(0);

// ⚡ Export actions for easy reuse
export const increment = (by = 1) => counterPouch.set((prev) => prev + by);
export const decrement = (by = 1) => counterPouch.set((prev) => prev - by);
export const reset = () => counterPouch.set(0);
export const setCount = (value: number) => counterPouch.set(value);
`

$3

Import and use your store in any component:

src/components/Counter.tsx
`typescript
import { counterPouch, increment, decrement, reset, setCount } from '../stores/counterStore';

function Counter() {
const count = counterPouch.use(); // ✨ Auto-updates component on state change

return (


export default Counter;
`

$3

src/App.tsx
`typescript
import { counterPouch, increment } from './stores/counterStore';
import Counter from './components/Counter';

function App() {
// 📖 Access state directly - no providers needed!
console.log('Current count:', counterPouch.get());

// 🚀 Trigger actions from anywhere
const handleGlobalIncrement = () => increment(5);

return (


export default App;
`

$3

src/utils/logger.ts
`typescript
import { counterPouch } from '../stores/counterStore';

// 👂 Subscribe to changes from anywhere - automatic cleanup included
const unsubscribe = counterPouch.subscribe(() => {
console.log(🔔 Counter changed to ${counterPouch.get()});
});

// 🧽 Cleanup when needed (optional - React handles this automatically)
// unsubscribe();
`

$3

Create reusable hooks in your store file:

src/stores/counterStore.ts (updated)
`typescript
import { pouch } from "react-pouch";

export const counterPouch = pouch(0);

// Actions
export const increment = (by = 1) => counterPouch.set((prev) => prev + by);
export const decrement = (by = 1) => counterPouch.set((prev) => prev - by);
export const reset = () => counterPouch.set(0);
export const setCount = (value: number) => counterPouch.set(value);

// 🎯 Custom hook for complete counter functionality
export function useCounter() {
const count = counterPouch.use();

return {
count,
increment,
decrement,
reset,
setCount,
};
}
`

src/components/CounterWithHook.tsx
`typescript
import { useCounter } from '../stores/counterStore';

function CounterWithHook() {
const { count, increment, decrement, reset } = useCounter();

Want to see plugin methods like undo(), redo(), computed() in your IDE? Here are two ways to get perfect TypeScript IntelliSense:

$3

`typescript
// ✅ Add as const to get plugin methods in IntelliSense
export const counter = pouch(0, [history(5)] as const);

// Now you get all these methods with perfect TypeScript support:
counter.undo(); // ✅ Available from history plugin
counter.redo(); // ✅ Available from history plugin
counter.canUndo(); // ✅ Available from history plugin
counter.canRedo(); // ✅ Available from history plugin
`

$3

`typescript
import { withPlugins, history, computed } from 'react-pouch';

// ✅ Automatic TypeScript inference - no as const needed!
export const counter = withPlugins(0, [history(5)]);
export const calculator = withPlugins(10, [
history(3),
computed((x: number) => x * 2)
]);

// Perfect IntelliSense for all plugin methods:
counter.undo(); // From history
calculator.computed(); // From computed
`

$3

`typescript
export const formStore = pouch({
name: '',
email: '',
age: 0
}, [
history(10),
persist('user-form'),
computed((data) => data.name.length + data.email.length)
] as const);

// All these methods are now available with TypeScript IntelliSense:
formStore.undo(); // From history plugin
formStore.redo(); // From history plugin
formStore.computed(); // From computed plugin
// Plus all the standard methods: get(), set(), subscribe(), use()
`

🎯 Core API - Stupidly Simple

$3

Creates a new pouch instance with optional plugins.

`typescript
// 🎯 Basic pouch - just works!
const myPouch = pouch(initialValue);

// 💫 With superpowers (plugins)
const enhancedPouch = pouch(initialValue, [persist(), validate(), history()]);
`

$3

- 📖 get() - Get current value
- ✏️ set(value | updater) - Update value (supports functions!)
- 👂 subscribe(callback) - Subscribe to changes (returns unsubscribe function)
- ⚛️ use() - React hook for component integration

🎉 That's it! No dispatch, no actions, no reducers. Just get, set, and subscribe.

📖 Pouch Usage Guide

$3

---

> 💫 At its core, React Pouch provides a clean, minimal API for state management. You can use it effectively without any plugins for straightforward state management needs.

---

#### 🏗️ Creating and Using Basic Pouches

`typescript
import { pouch } from "react-pouch";

// App state pouch with TypeScript support
interface AppState {
counter: number;
message: string;
isLoading: boolean;
}

const appPouch = pouch({
counter: 0,
message: "Hello World",
isLoading: false,
});

// Individual pouches for different concerns
const userPouch = pouch({ name: "John", age: 30 });
const todosPouch = pouch([]);
const configPouch = pouch({ theme: "dark", language: "en" });
`

#### 🔧 Core Pouch Methods

📖 get() - Reading Values

`typescript
const currentState = appPouch.get();
const currentUser = userPouch.get();
console.log("Current app state:", currentState);
`

✏️ set() - Updating Values

`typescript
// Direct value assignment
appPouch.set({ counter: 5, message: "Updated!", isLoading: true });
userPouch.set({ name: "Jane", age: 25 });

// Functional updates (recommended for objects/arrays)
appPouch.set((prev) => ({ ...prev, counter: prev.counter + 1 }));
userPouch.set((prev) => ({ ...prev, age: prev.age + 1 }));
todosPouch.set((prev) => [...prev, { id: Date.now(), text: "New task" }]);
`

👂 subscribe() - Listening to Changes

`typescript
// Subscribe to all changes
const unsubscribe = appPouch.subscribe(() => {
console.log("App state changed:", appPouch.get());
});

// Multiple subscribers
const unsubscribe1 = userPouch.subscribe(() => {
console.log("User updated:", userPouch.get());
});

const unsubscribe2 = userPouch.subscribe(() => {
// Update UI or perform side effects
updateUserProfile(userPouch.get());
});

// Don't forget to unsubscribe when done
unsubscribe();
unsubscribe1();
unsubscribe2();
`

⚛️ use() - React Integration

`typescript
function UserProfile() {
const user = userPouch.use();
const appState = appPouch.use();

if (appState.isLoading) return

`typescript
const cartPouch = pouch([]);
const pricePouch = pouch(0);

// Manual computed values
cartPouch.subscribe((items) => {
const total = items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
pricePouch.set(total);
});

// Usage
cartPouch.set([
{ id: 1, name: "Book", price: 15 },
{ id: 2, name: "Pen", price: 2 },
]);
console.log(pricePouch.get()); // 17
`

#### 🤝 Multiple Store Coordination

`typescript
const authPouch = pouch(null);
const permissionsPouch = pouch([]);

// Coordinate multiple stores
authPouch.subscribe((user) => {
if (user) {
// Load permissions when user logs in
fetchUserPermissions(user.id).then((permissions) => {
permissionsPouch.set(permissions);
});
} else {
// Clear permissions when user logs out
permissionsPouch.set([]);
}
});
`

#### 🏭 Custom Store Factory

`typescript
function createListPouch(initialItems: T[] = []) {
const pouch = pouch(initialItems);

return {
...pouch,
add: (item: T) => pouch.set((prev) => [...prev, item]),
remove: (index: number) =>
pouch.set((prev) => prev.filter((_, i) => i !== index)),
update: (index: number, item: T) =>
pouch.set((prev) =>
prev.map((existing, i) => (i === index ? item : existing))
),
clear: () => pouch.set([]),
length: () => pouch.get().length,
};
}

// Usage
const todoPouch = createListPouch([]);
todoPouch.add({ id: 1, text: "Learn React Pouch", completed: false });
todoPouch.update(0, { id: 1, text: "Learn React Pouch", completed: true });
`

> 🚀 Plugins extend the pouch's capabilities without changing its core API. They provide additional features like persistence, validation, logging, and more.

---

#### 🏗️ Plugin Architecture Benefits

1. 🧩 Composability: Mix and match plugins for custom functionality
2. 📊 Separation of Concerns: Keep core logic separate from cross-cutting concerns
3. 🔄 Reusability: Use the same plugins across different pouches
4. 🔧 Maintainability: Add/remove features without changing core code

#### 🔄 Plugin Execution Order

Plugins execute in the order they're provided, with each plugin potentially transforming the result of the previous one:

`typescript
const myPouch = pouch(initialValue, [
plugin1, // Executes first
plugin2, // Receives output from plugin1
plugin3, // Receives output from plugin2
]);
`

#### 🔄 Plugin Lifecycle

Each plugin can hook into three phases:

1. 🎆 initialize: Transform the initial value when the pouch is created
2. 🔧 setup: Add methods/properties to the pouch after creation
3. 🔄 onSet: React to or transform values on every update

💡 Sample Use Cases

Automatically saves and loads store data from browser storage.

`typescript
import { store, persist } from "react-pouch";

// 💾 Basic usage with localStorage
const userStore = store({ name: "", email: "" }, [persist("user-data")]);

// 💿 With sessionStorage
const sessionStore = store({}, [
persist("session-key", {
storage: "sessionStorage",
}),
]);

// 🛠️ Custom serialization
const customStore = store(new Map(), [
persist("custom-data", {
serialize: (data) => JSON.stringify(Array.from(data.entries())),
deserialize: (str) => new Map(JSON.parse(str)),
}),
]);
`

$3

Automatically saves and loads store data using React Native AsyncStorage.

`typescript
import { store, rnPersist } from "react-pouch";
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";

// 📱 Basic usage (auto-detects AsyncStorage)
const userStore = store({ name: "", email: "" }, [rnPersist("user-data")]);

// 🛠️ With custom AsyncStorage instance
const customStore = store({}, [
rnPersist("session-key", {
asyncStorage: AsyncStorage,
}),
]);

// 📜 Custom serialization for complex types
const mapStore = store(new Map(), [
rnPersist("map-data", {
serialize: (data) => JSON.stringify(Array.from(data.entries())),
deserialize: (str) => new Map(JSON.parse(str)),
}),
]);

// 📋 Storage management
userStore.clearStorage(); // 🧽 Clear persisted data
console.log(userStore.getStorageInfo()); // 📊 Get storage info
`

$3

Validates store values before updates using custom validation functions.

`typescript
import { store, validate } from "react-pouch";

const emailStore = store("", [
validate((email) => ({
isValid: /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(email),
error: "Invalid email format",
})),
]);

// This will throw an error
try {
emailStore.set("invalid-email");
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message); // "Invalid email format"
}
`

$3

Logs all store changes to console for debugging.

`typescript
import { store, logger } from "react-pouch";

const debugStore = store({ count: 0 }, [
logger("MyStore", {
collapsed: true,
timestamp: true,
}),
]);

debugStore.set({ count: 1 });
// Console output:
// [12:34:56] MyStore
// Previous: { count: 0 }
// Current: { count: 1 }
`

$3

Adds computed values that automatically update when store changes.

`typescript
import { store, computed } from "react-pouch";

const userStore = store({ firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe" }, [
computed((user) => ${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}),
]);

console.log(userStore.computed()); // "John Doe"

userStore.set({ firstName: "Jane", lastName: "Smith" });
console.log(userStore.computed()); // "Jane Smith"
`

$3

Synchronizes store with backend API endpoints.

`typescript
import { store, sync } from "react-pouch";

const todosStore = store(
[],
[
sync("https://api.example.com/todos", {
debounce: 1000,
onError: (error) => console.error("Sync failed:", error),
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer token",
},
}),
]
);

// Loads initial data from API on setup
// Auto-syncs changes with debouncing
`

$3

Adds undo/redo functionality to stores.

`typescript
import { store, history } from "react-pouch";

const textStore = store("", [
history(20), // Keep last 20 changes
]);

textStore.set("Hello");
textStore.set("Hello World");

console.log(textStore.get()); // "Hello World"

textStore.undo();
console.log(textStore.get()); // "Hello"

textStore.redo();
console.log(textStore.get()); // "Hello World"

// Check availability
console.log(textStore.canUndo()); // true
console.log(textStore.canRedo()); // false
`

$3

Encrypts sensitive data before storing (demo implementation).

`typescript
import { store, encrypt } from "react-pouch";

const secretStore = store("sensitive-data", [encrypt("my-secret-key")]);

// Data is automatically encrypted/decrypted
// Note: This is a demo implementation, use proper encryption in production
`

$3

Limits the rate of store updates using throttling.

`typescript
import { store, throttle } from "react-pouch";

const searchStore = store("", [
throttle(500), // Maximum one update per 500ms
]);

// Rapid updates will be throttled
searchStore.set("a");
searchStore.set("ab");
searchStore.set("abc"); // Only this will be processed
`

$3

Delays store updates until after specified time of inactivity.

`typescript
import { store, debounce } from "react-pouch";

const inputStore = store("", [
debounce(300), // Wait 300ms after last update
]);

// Rapid updates will be debounced
inputStore.set("a");
inputStore.set("ab");
inputStore.set("abc"); // Only this will be processed after 300ms
`

$3

Enforces type structure on store values using schema definitions.

`typescript
import { store, schema } from "react-pouch";

const userSchema = {
name: "string",
age: "number",
email: "string",
hobbies: "array",
address: {
street: "string",
city: "string",
zipCode: "string",
},
};

const userStore = store({}, [schema(userSchema)]);

// Valid update
userStore.set({
name: "John",
age: 30,
email: "john@example.com",
hobbies: ["reading", "coding"],
address: {
street: "123 Main St",
city: "New York",
zipCode: "10001",
},
});

// Invalid update will throw error
try {
userStore.set({ name: "John", age: "thirty" }); // age should be number
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message); // "Invalid type for age: expected number, got string"
}
`

Tracks store changes in analytics services (Google Analytics).

`typescript
import { store, analytics } from "react-pouch";

const pageStore = store({ path: "/", title: "Home" }, [
analytics("page_view", {
trackInitial: true,
includeTimestamp: true,
sanitize: (data) => ({ path: data.path }), // Remove sensitive data
}),
]);

// Automatically tracks changes to Google Analytics
pageStore.set({ path: "/about", title: "About" });
`

Transforms values before they're set in the store using middleware functions.

`typescript
import { store, middleware } from "react-pouch";

const trimMiddleware = (value, oldValue) => {
if (typeof value === "string") {
return value.trim();
}
return value;
};

const upperCaseMiddleware = (value, oldValue) => {
if (typeof value === "string") {
return value.toUpperCase();
}
return value;
};

const textStore = store("", [middleware(trimMiddleware, upperCaseMiddleware)]);

textStore.set(" hello world ");
console.log(textStore.get()); // "HELLO WORLD"
`

💪 Powerful Plugin Combinations

src/stores/formStore.ts
`typescript
import { store, validate, persist, history, logger } from "react-pouch";

// Create form store with multiple plugins
export const formStore = store({ name: "", email: "", age: 0 }, [
validate((data) => {
if (!data.name) return { isValid: false, error: "Name is required" };
if (!data.email.includes("@"))
return { isValid: false, error: "Invalid email" };
if (data.age < 0) return { isValid: false, error: "Age must be positive" };
return { isValid: true };
}),
persist("user-form"), // Auto-save to localStorage
history(10), // Undo/redo support
logger("FormStore"), // Debug logging
]);

// Export actions
export const updateName = (name: string) =>
formStore.set(prev => ({ ...prev, name }));
export const updateEmail = (email: string) =>
formStore.set(prev => ({ ...prev, email }));
export const updateAge = (age: number) =>
formStore.set(prev => ({ ...prev, age }));
export const resetForm = () =>
formStore.set({ name: "", email: "", age: 0 });
`

src/components/UserForm.tsx
`typescript
import { formStore, updateName, updateEmail, updateAge, resetForm } from '../stores/formStore';

function UserForm() {
const form = formStore.use();

return (


`typescript
import { store, sync, debounce, encrypt, logger } from "react-pouch";

const secureNotesStore = store("", [
encrypt("my-secret-key"),
debounce(1000),
sync("https://api.example.com/notes", {
debounce: 2000,
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer token" },
}),
logger("SecureNotes"),
]);

// Encrypted, debounced, auto-synced notes with debug logging
`

`typescript
import { store, throttle, analytics, computed, logger } from "react-pouch";

const searchStore = store({ query: "", results: [] }, [
throttle(300),
computed((state) => state.results.length),
analytics("search", {
sanitize: (data) => ({ queryLength: data.query.length }),
}),
logger("SearchStore"),
]);

// Search with rate limiting, result counting, analytics, and debugging
console.log(searchStore.computed()); // Access result count
`

🛠️ Creating Custom Plugins

Plugins are objects that implement the PluginHooks interface with three optional methods:

`typescript
interface PluginHooks {
initialize?(value: T): T;
setup?(store: Store): void;
onSet?(newValue: T, oldValue: T): T | void;
}
`

$3

`typescript
import { Plugin } from "react-pouch";

function timestamp(): Plugin {
return {
setup(store) {
store.lastUpdated = Date.now();
},
onSet(newValue, oldValue) {
store.lastUpdated = Date.now();
return newValue;
},
};
}

// Usage
const timestampStore = store(0, [timestamp()]);
console.log(timestampStore.lastUpdated); // Current timestamp
`

$3

`typescript
import { Plugin } from "react-pouch";

function localCache(key: string, ttl: number = 5000): Plugin {
return {
initialize(value) {
// Load from cache if available and not expired
const cached = localStorage.getItem(key);
if (cached) {
const { data, timestamp } = JSON.parse(cached);
if (Date.now() - timestamp < ttl) {
return data;
}
}
return value;
},

setup(store) {
// Add cache management methods
store.clearCache = () => {
localStorage.removeItem(key);
};

store.getCacheAge = () => {
const cached = localStorage.getItem(key);
if (cached) {
const { timestamp } = JSON.parse(cached);
return Date.now() - timestamp;
}
return null;
};
},

onSet(newValue, oldValue) {
// Cache the new value with timestamp
const cacheData = {
data: newValue,
timestamp: Date.now(),
};
localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(cacheData));
return newValue;
},
};
}

// Usage
const cachedStore = store([], [localCache("my-data", 10000)]);
console.log(cachedStore.getCacheAge()); // Cache age in milliseconds
cachedStore.clearCache(); // Clear cache manually
`

1. 🔄 Always return the value from onSet if you're not transforming it
2. 🛡️ Handle errors gracefully - don't break the store
3. 📝 Use TypeScript for better developer experience
4. 🌐 Check for browser APIs when using DOM/storage features
5. 🔧 Provide configuration options for flexibility
6. ✨ Add methods to store in the setup hook for extended functionality

📝 TypeScript Support

The library is written in TypeScript and provides full type safety:

`typescript
interface User {
id: number;
name: string;
email: string;
}

const userStore = store({
id: 1,
name: "John",
email: "john@example.com",
});

// TypeScript will enforce the User interface
userStore.set({ id: 2, name: "Jane", email: "jane@example.com" });
`

⚛️ React Integration

$3

`typescript
import { useStore } from "react-pouch";

function UserProfile() {
const user = useStore(userStore);

return (


`typescript
function useCounter() {
const counterStore = store(0, [persist("counter"), history(10)]);

const count = counterStore.use();

return {
count,
increment: () => counterStore.set(count + 1),
decrement: () => counterStore.set(count - 1),
undo: counterStore.undo,
redo: counterStore.redo,
canUndo: counterStore.canUndo(),
canRedo: counterStore.canRedo(),
};
}
`
