use-context-selector VS bulletproof-react

Use jotai, or as someone else mentioned, zustand. React Context out of the box requires a very deliberate mental model due to a lack of tooling around selecting slices of state. This is why packages like react-context-selector exist: https://github.com/dai-shi/use-context-selector

Unless I've missed it, context doesn't have selector IIRC. You'd have to use a third party solution useContextSelector

How does this differ from https://github.com/dai-shi/use-context-selector?

you can always split out context state or use a library to help with rerender issues like https://github.com/dai-shi/use-context-selector, or just switch to jotai or something else if you want something more ergonomic or better design patterns.

If you don't want to swap out useContext, you could always use useContextSelector, which helps you limit what props in the context should rerender the component.

I wouldn't call this easy

It wouldn't be clear to anyone learning Context API either. At least, not using official docs. Because Context API is not supposed for state management, and if you for some unknown reasons try to roll your own state management on top of it, you have to use tricky libraries to work around the issues resulting from such abuse.

Any time anything in the context changes, any component that is consuming it will re-render. If you use it for frequently changed values, this library is needed to reduce unnecessary re-renders.

Use of this implementation of useContextSelector

Another technology I use regularly is Redux. But this time I wanted to manage the global state in a simpler and clearer way just using React hooks. I decided to go with a simple useReducer combined with theuseContextSelector hook which will avoid the whole application’s re-render caused by the native useContext hook.

bulletproof react

Well I’d definitely have a file structure in place. I use bullet proof react as my go to. But I mean like…I’d say there’s probably 10 things causing 90% of the problems. So things like folder structure, yes, but also how long the files are, I mean…how enmeshed it all is…maybe the naming conventions.

Your approach is similar to bulletproof-react, which I personally love. I have built projects of all sizes with it and the DX was always nice! Check it out if you want and good luck on your project 😁

Link for the lazy ones.

Not sure if this helps, but Bulletproof React is a very good architecture to React projects of any size. Maybe it can give you some insight on how to structure your project. Good luck!

Been content with how Bulletproof react does it, only thing missing for me is differentiation between views and components.
