Use Context Selector
React useContextSelector hook in userland
Overview
The useContextSelector library is a powerful tool that enhances the React Context API by addressing the common performance issues associated with re-rendering components when context values change. Traditionally, using useContext means that any change in context triggers a re-render of all consuming components, which can lead to unintended performance hits. With useContextSelector, developers can select specific values from the context that they care about, ensuring that only relevant components re-render when there's a change.
This library introduces an elegant API that is easy to work with, providing functionality to create context selectors that help streamline the performance of React applications. Whether you're building a complex application or just want to optimize the way your components share data, useContextSelector is worth considering.
Features
-
createContext: This method allows you to create a special context specifically for
useContextSelector, ensuring compatibility and optimized performance. -
useContextSelector: This hook lets you retrieve a value from the context based on a selector function, triggering re-renders only when the selected value changes referentially.
-
useContext: A slightly modified version of React's built-in
useContext, it returns the entire context value while maintaining consistent behavior across your application. -
useContextUpdate: This hook provides an update function tailored for concurrent rendering in React 18, making state changes safer and more efficient.
-
BridgeProvider: A versatile Provider component that facilitates the connection between multiple React roots, which is especially useful in complex applications.
-
useBridgeValue: This hook returns a value specifically for
BridgeProvider, allowing for seamless data flow across different components and contexts.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Documentation
Documentation themes are built specifically for writing technical and product documentation. They are normally written and maintained in Markdown. The often include a navigation menu, search bar, clear headings, semantic document structure and clean typography.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
