Legend State

High performance state and local first sync

Legend State is an extremely fast signal-based state library with fine-grained reactivity and a powerful sync system that works with any backend.

const speed$ = observable(2)

// Observe it
const Component = observer(() => {
  // Get it
  const speed = speed$.get()

  // Set it
  const up = () => speed$.set(v => v % 10 + 1)

  return (<>
    {/* Two way bind it */}
    <Reactive.input $value={speed$} type="number" />

    <Button onClick={up}>{speed} is too slow 🤘</Button>
  </>)
})

All in One

Legend-State is the fastest React state library, and it takes care of all of the hard sync and caching stuff for you.

⚡️ Fine-grained reactivity in React

Achieve incredible performance by minimizing the number and size of renders.
Legend State makes apps fast by default because they just do less work.

Normal React

Legend-State

🦄 Incredibly easy to use

When you get() values while observing, it tracks them and re-runs when they change. No boilerplate, no selectors, no dependency arrays, just easy reactivity.

const settings$ = observable({ ui: { theme: 'dark' }})

// Infinitely nested observables
const theme$ = settings$.ui.theme

// get returns the raw data
theme$.get() // 'dark'

// set sets
theme$.set('light')

// Computed observables with just a function
const isDark$ = observable(() =>
    theme$.get() === 'dark'
)

// observe re-runs when observables change
observe(() => {
  console.log(theme$.get())
})

// observer components re-render when observables change
const Component = observer(() => {
  const theme = theme$.get()

  return <div>{theme}</div>
})

🚀 The fastest React state library

Legend-State is so fast that it even outperforms vanilla JS in some benchmarks. It's extremely optimized with fine-grained reactivity and massively reduces re-rendering.

🤝 Local State = Remote State

Just get and set observables and they sync themselves with a powerful sync engine. Your UI code doesn't need any querying, creating mutations, or synchronizing with local state.

You can even bind UI components directly to synced observables.

You don't need any sync code in your components. You can just focus on making great apps.

const profile$ = observable(syncedFetch({
  get: 'https://myurl/my-profile',
  set: 'https://myurl/my-profile',
  persist: {
    plugin: ObservablePersistLocalStorage,
    name: 'profile',
  },
}))

const Component = observer(() => {
  // get triggers fetch and updates on change
  const name = profile$.name.get()

  const onClick = () => {
    // set sets the local state and syncs
    profile$.name.set('Annyong')
  }

  // Two-way bind to remote data
  return <Reactive.input $value={profile$.name} />
})

Local First with any backend

Use one of our ever-expanding library of sync plugins or build your own on top of the CRUD plugin or the basic synced plugin.

Persistence
const { mutations, queries } = client.api

const messages$ = observable(syncedKeel({
  list: queries.listMessages,
  create: mutations.createMessages,
  update: mutations.updateMessages,
  delete: mutations.deleteMessages,
  // Persist locally
  persist: {
    plugin: ObservablePersistLocalStorage,
    name: 'messages',
    retrySync: true // Retry sync after reload
  },
  changesSince: 'last-sync' // Sync only diffs
}))
