Introduction
reactive-proxy-state
is a lightweight reactivity system inspired by Vue 3's reactivity API but designed to be used standalone in any JavaScript or TypeScript environment, whether it's browser, Node.js, or any other JavaScript runtime.
What is Reactivity?
Reactivity is a programming paradigm that allows us to automatically track dependencies between data and the code that uses that data. When the data changes, the dependent code re-executes automatically.
Key Features
- Simple API: Familiar if you've used Vue 3, easy to learn if you haven't
- Lightweight: Focused on the core reactivity system with minimal bloat
- Framework-agnostic: Use in any JavaScript environment
- TypeScript support: Full type definitions included
- Collection support: Works with Arrays, Maps, Sets
- Zero dependencies: Standalone package with no external dependencies
When to Use
- Building real-time state synchronization systems
- Creating custom state management solutions
- Server-side reactive data processing
- Anywhere you need automated dependency tracking and effect triggering
This library is particularly well-suited for scenarios where you need reactivity outside of a UI framework, or when you want to build custom state management with a reactive core.
