Manage React State with Recoil
- 1. Manage React State with Recoil Yoni Weisbrod Lemonade Frontend Guild, Sept. 2020
- 2. Recoil in brief - State manager by Facebook - Some of the API is still unstable 🚧 - Strong integration with React (e.g. hooks & Suspense) Docs at https://recoiljs.org/
- 3. Getting Acquainted ● Install RecoilJS
- 4. Install RecoilJS - npm install recoil - Surround node with <RecoilRoot> Fin.
- 5. Getting Acquainted ● Install RecoilJS ● Refactor from useState to useRecoilState
- 7. useState
- 9. Selectors ● Can access state from atoms or selectors ● Always freshtm ● Derived state
- 11. - State is consumed using built-in hooks (e.g. useRecoilState, useRecoilValue, useSetRecoilState, etc.) - Each hook has an appropriate use case. Recoil in Action: Consuming State
- 12. Recoil in Action: Consuming State - State is consumed using built-in hooks (e.g. useRecoilState, useRecoilValue, useSetRecoilState, etc.) - Each hook has an appropriate use case. - atoms and selectors cannot be consumed directly.
- 13. - State is consumed using built-in hooks ⚠️ Limitation: Only React components can consume Recoil state. Recoil in Action: Consuming State
- 14. Hook #1: useRecoilState ● Most similar to useState (provides getter and setter objects) ● Triggers a re-render when subscribed atom/selector changes
- 15. Example useRecoilState vs. useSetRecoilState vs. useRecoilValue Demo: https://codesandbox.io/s/the-right-hook-lemonade-mtmpo
- 17. Asynchronous Selectors Q: What will be rendered until the DB query returns a value?
- 18. Asynchronous Selectors Q: What will be rendered until the DB query returns a value? A: Error
- 19. Asynchronous Selectors Solution 1 - React.Suspense
- 20. Asynchronous Selectors Solution 1 - React.Suspense Solution 1 - Avoid returning a promise
- 23. Reactions - Asynchronous selectors - useEffect
- 24. Reactions - Asynchronous selectors: cached, but cross-application - useEffect: non-cached, but local
- 25. Thanks!
- 26. Questions?
Editor's Notes
- Recoil is a state manager built internally at Facebook. It’s still experimental - meaning some of the API is in flux. Stability - can I use it in production? Much of the API is fine, stable. But some parts of it are still unstable. I would not build a business around it just yet personally, as it’s still nowhere near version 1. Currently at v0.0.12. Dependent on React - can’t be used outside
- Don’t have to wrap entire app with RecoilRoot - can use it on a specific node. Wrap outer node
- Regular React useState
- Regular React useState
- Only 2 changes - We’ve added a state object (an atom) We’ve changed useState to useRecoilState LIFTS state out of view
- Selectors Similar to Redux selectors -> way to get derived data Keeps data always fresh
- Analogy - spreadsheet.
- React components - including custom hooks. Meaning you can’t consume state inside a regular JS function, like you can with MobX. This is a limitation of Recoil - it lifts state out of components, but not outside React.
- Only 2 changes - We’ve added a state object (an atom) We’ve changed useState to useRecoilState
- Egghead lesson - https://egghead.io/lessons/react-choose-the-right-hook-for-your-recoil-state Fork sandbox, start with useState, then go to the rest.
- Async selectors - can be used to make API calls, DB queries, etc. Why? Keeps state up to date. Could also just use useEffect to make API calls based on Reactions.

- Cons: Local (not cross-application, so you can’t leverage the lifting out of state of Recoil) Pros: Not cached… (explain in next slide)
- Cons: CACHED!! Good for avatars, etc. Pros: Can be shared across app
