Lightweight React bindings for MobX based on React 16.8 and Hooks

Overview

MobX React Lite is a streamlined version of the original MobX React library, specifically designed for React functional components. This approach not only makes the library more efficient, with a minimized size of just 1.5kB when gzipped, but also enhances performance through faster updates. With the elimination of the Provider/inject mechanism in favor of React’s built-in context capabilities, MobX React Lite is an excellent choice for modern web development, particularly for projects utilizing React 16.8 or newer.

Its design focuses on simplicity and functionality without sacrificing the powerful reactive programming paradigm that MobX is known for. Whether you are building a new application or transitioning an existing one to use functional components, MobX React Lite offers an effective solution for handling state management in a reactive way.

Features

  • Minimal Size: Just 1.5kB gzipped, making it lightweight for quick load times.
  • Function Component Support: Specifically built for functional components, enhancing performance and efficiency.
  • Observer Component: Automatically tracks observables and re-renders components when values change, keeping your UI in sync with the state.
  • Use of Context: Eliminates the need for Provider/inject patterns by leveraging React’s context, simplifying state management.
  • Local Observable Creation: useLocalObservable allows you to easily create observable state that can hold properties, methods, and computed values.
  • Static Rendering Support: enableStaticRendering for SSR environments helps optimize re-renders, improving performance in server-side rendered applications.
  • Backwards Compatibility: Works with MobX versions 4 to 6, ensuring flexibility for different project setups.
  • Deprecated APIs: Offers cleaner alternatives to outdated APIs, promoting better coding practices and performance optimizations.
