useStore(id?: string): Store | undefined

Type Description

	Type	Description
`id?`	`string`	An optional `Id` for accessing a `Store` that was named with an `Id` in the Provider.

id?

string

An optional Id for accessing a Store that was named with an Id in the Provider.

returns

Store | undefined

A reference to the Store (or undefined if not within a Provider context, or if the requested Store does not exist).

A Provider component is used to wrap part of an application in a context. It can contain a default Store (or a set of Store objects named by Id) that can be easily accessed without having to be passed down as props through every component.

The useStore hook lets you either get a reference to the default Store (when called without a parameter), or one of the Store objects that are named by Id (when called with an Id parameter).

Examples

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Store is provided. A component within it then uses the useStore hook to get a reference to the Store again, without the need to have it passed as a prop.

import {Provider, useStore} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => <span>{useStore().getListenerStats().tables}</span>;

const store = createStore();
const app = document.createElement('div');
createRoot(app).render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>0</span>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a Store is provided, named by Id. A component within it then uses the useStore hook with that Id to get a reference to the Store again, without the need to have it passed as a prop.

import {Provider, useStore} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider storesById={{petStore: store}}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <span>{useStore('petStore').getListenerStats().tables}</span>
);

const store = createStore();
const app = document.createElement('div');
createRoot(app).render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>0</span>'
