Galactic-State VS Recoil

I created my own “global state” management library: https://github.com/baron816/Galactic-State. It takes 30 seconds to learn, is very lightweight and ergonomic, and should solve performance issues with Context. Please check it out.

I'm working on a simple state library for React. It will 1) allow you to have a "global" state that doesn't require context [1], and 2) allow you let you set state imperatively [2].

The links below are the two separate parts that I want to combine together so that you can have that imperative state setting apply to all components depending on the generated hooks. That's the easy part.

`useStructure` allows you to have a class that your component uses for state (and be able to use any methods on that class). The hard part will be having async functions on those classes that update your state correctly. Not sure if it's even possible.

Atom-based: splits states into tiny pieces of data called atoms, which can be written to and read from using React hooks. In this group, we have Recoil and Jotai.

recoil -> Designed to solve a specific problem. Not good for all use cases. Understand it first! You can learn more about it here.

Atomic libs include Recoil, Jotai, and the one I maintain: Zedux. Zedux especially was designed to work well with sockets and RxJS observables and has been getting some traction recently, so of course I recommend checking it out. Feel free to hmu with any questions.

However you may find better luck with Recoil which is developed by Meta, and is designed to work with Async data, and is a much simpler project to get started with.

Recoil introduced a new pattern for storing state and propagating updates. This atomic model has proven to scale up better than the singleton model at the cost of some hefty learning curves.

recoil is extremely similar to Riverpod but for React (both are backed by a data flow graph).

Before we proceed you can check the project on github. This implementation is for learning purposes, for production use check Jotai or Recoil.
