Create your own State Management solution in one line

Not clickbait.

Create a file and name it Store.js. Put the following one line of code in it.

// Store.js
export default {};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now you can store any data you want and share it across your modules and components without polluting the global namespace.

Example Usage

// main.js
import Store from './Store.js';
import Settings from '../api/Settings.js';

async function init() {
  const response = await Settings.getAll();
  Store.SETTINGS = response.data; // store XHR response in Store module
}

// Module.js
import Store from './Store.js';

function getSetting(key) {
  return Store.SETTINGS[key]; // get a specific setting from the Store
}

// Task.js
import Store from './Store.js';

function loadTask(id) {
  Store.currentTaskId = id; // Store the current id in Store.js
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Extending the Store

How would extend this simple concept to add options for the following items?

  1. Immutability
  2. Persistence
  3. Transformation
