Welcome to the PulseState wiki! In the right menu you will find useful guides, tutorials and tips how you use the library PulseState.
We will improve this wiki over time.

Recommendations:

  1. Use TypeScript or PropTypes for type safety: To ensure that your code is more robust and easier to maintain, consider using TypeScript or PropTypes to enforce type safety in your state object and function arguments. This will help catch errors and make it easier to reason about your code.

  2. Test your code thoroughly: To ensure that your PulseState implementation is working correctly, it's important to test your code thoroughly. You can use tools like Jest, Mocha, or Cypress to write tests for your code and ensure that it's working as expected.

By following these best practices (above and in the right menu), you can create more robust and maintainable applications using PulseState.

PulseState lightweight state management library

PulseState is designed to be a lightweight state management library that provides basic functionality for managing and updating the state of an application. It can be a good choice for small to medium-sized applications that require basic state management functionality.

The core features that PulseState currently provides are:

  • Managing and updating application state
  • Subscribing to state changes through event listeners
  • Undoing changes to the state
  • Storing any type of data in the state object
  • Batch updating the state for performance optimization
  • Persisting the state to local storage These features can be useful for managing state in small to medium-sized applications.

However, there may be some additional features that you need for your specific use case that are not provided by PulseState. For example, PulseState does not currently provide support for computed values, actions, or asynchronous actions, which can be helpful for managing more complex state in larger applications.

If you need more advanced features for managing state in your application, you may need to consider using a more feature-rich state management library like MobX or Redux. However, if your application only requires basic state management functionality, PulseState can be a good choice for a lightweight and easy-to-use library.

Features missing and comparison to other (Like Redux and MobX)

PulseState could benefit from adding more features that are useful for managing state in larger applications. For example, it could include support for computed values, actions, and async actions, which can be helpful for managing complex state in large applications. It could also include more advanced features for handling side effects, such as middleware or observables.

However, adding too many features could make PulseState less lightweight and simple to use. It's important to strike a balance between functionality and ease of use when designing a state management library.
