1. How to organize actions

How to organize actions

Valtio is unopinionated about organizing actions. Here's some recipes to show various patterns are possible.

Action functions defined in module

[!NOTE] This way is preferred as it is better for code splitting.

import { proxy } from 'valtio'

export const state = proxy({
  count: 0,
  name: 'foo',
})

export const inc = () => {
  ++state.count
}

export const setName = (name) => {
  state.name = name
}

Action object defined in module

import { proxy } from 'valtio'

export const state = proxy({
  count: 0,
  name: 'foo',
})

export const actions = {
  inc: () => {
    ++state.count
  },
  setName: (name) => {
    state.name = name
  },
}

Action methods defined in state

export const state = proxy({
  count: 0,
  name: 'foo',
  inc: () => {
    ++state.count
  },
  setName: (name) => {
    state.name = name
  },
})

Action methods using this

export const state = proxy({
  count: 0,
  name: 'foo',
  inc() {
    ++this.count
  },
  setName(name) {
    this.name = name
  },
})

Using class

class State {
  count = 0
  name = 'foo'
  inc() {
    ++this.count
  }
  setName(name) {
    this.name = name
  }
}

export const state = proxy(new State())
