Use immer with React hooks
npm install use-immerA hook to use immer as a React hook to manipulate state.
npm install immer use-immer
useImmer(initialState) is very similar to useState.
The function returns a tuple, the first value of the tuple is the current state, the second is the updater function,
which accepts an immer producer function or a value as argument.
When passing a function to the updater, the draft argument can be mutated freely, until the producer ends and the changes will be made immutable and become the next state.
Example: https://codesandbox.io/s/l97yrzw8ol
``javascript
import React from "react";
import { useImmer } from "use-immer";
function App() {
const [person, updatePerson] = useImmer({
name: "Michel",
age: 33
});
function updateName(name) {
updatePerson(draft => {
draft.name = name;
});
}
function becomeOlder() {
updatePerson(draft => {
draft.age++;
});
}
return (
(obviously, immer is a little overkill for this example)

When passing a value to the updater instead of a function, hook behaves the same as useState hook and updates the state with that value.`javascript
import React from 'react';
import { useImmer } from 'use-immer';function BirthDayCelebrator(){
const [age, setAge] = useImmer(20);
function birthDay(event){
setAge(age + 1);
alert(
Happy birthday #${age} Anon! hope you good);
} return(
);
}
`Obviously if you have to deal with immutability it is better option passing a function to the updater instead of a direct value.
useImmerReducer
hookExample: https://codesandbox.io/s/2zor1monvp
`javascript
import React from "react";
import { useImmerReducer } from "use-immer";const initialState = { count: 0 };
function reducer(draft, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case "reset":
return initialState;
case "increment":
return void draft.count++;
case "decrement":
return void draft.count--;
}
}
function Counter() {
const [state, dispatch] = useImmerReducer(reducer, initialState);
return (
<>
Count: {state.count}
);
}
