Solid Pebble

Overview

Solid Pebble is a state management library designed specifically for SolidJS applications, addressing a common issue with global state during server-side rendering (SSR). In standard implementations, global state can persist across requests, which may lead to undesired effects when two concurrent requests interact with the same instance. Solid Pebble tackles this problem by allowing developers to create global states that behave like local states, ensuring that each instance is tightly bound to its application context.

By managing state with clear boundaries through the PebbleBoundary, Solid Pebble effectively prevents cross-request state pollution. This innovative approach makes it simpler for developers to maintain clean and predictable application states while leveraging the power of SolidJS.

Features

• PebbleBoundary: The foundation of Solid Pebble, this boundary manages the lifecycle of pebbles, ensuring app-specific state management effectively prevents cross-request state pollution.

• Pebbles: Similar to SolidJS signals, pebbles serve as fundamental global states that are lazily-evaluated, allowing access only when through the usePebble hook, providing better performance control.

• Computed Pebbles: Utilizing createComputedPebble, users can create memoized pebbles that react to changes in other pebbles, making it simple to manage derived state efficiently.

• Proxy Pebbles: Stateless pebbles designed for reading and writing to pebbles, allowing for a straightforward way to manipulate state without the constraints of tracking previous values.

• Custom Pebbles: Offers developers flexibility by letting them define when state tracking should occur, combining the benefits of both normal and proxy pebbles. This allows for more granular control over state updates.

• Lazy Initialization: Pebbles support lazy initial values, ensuring that resources are only allocated when necessary, optimizing performance further.

• Seamless Integration: The API is designed to integrate smoothly into existing SolidJS applications, making it easy to adopt without extensive refactoring.

Overall, Solid Pebble stands out as a robust solution for global state management in SolidJS apps, addressing key challenges with a clean and efficient approach.
