Features

• Observer-based state updates Components automatically re-render when a subscribed value changes.

• Zero dependencies Nothing extra in your bundle.

• Fully typed with TypeScript Strong typing for keys and values out of the box.

• Can be used from JavaScript projects TypeScript is optional — works perfectly in JS ESM modules or single module CommonJS.

• Supports multiple independent stores Create as many stores as you need — each one is fully isolated.

• State flexibility Does not enforce state serialization.

  You can store any JavaScript values in the store:

  • primitives
  • objects and arrays
  • class instances
  • functions
  • DOM references
  • non-serializable values

• Tiny bundle size

Installation

npm install observable-store-light

or

pnpm add observable-store-light

API

• createStore: (initData: T) Creates a new isolated store instance.

• addListener: (key: K) => T[K] Attach listener to a specific store key.

• removeListener: (key: K) => T[K] Attach listener to a specific store key.

• get: (key: K) => T[K] Reads the value by key.

• set: (key: K, value: T[K], isCallListener?: boolean = true) => void Updates a value by key and calls listeners optional.

Quick Start

Create store

import { createStore } from "observable-store-light";

const store = createStore({
  count: 1,
});

Using the store

Attach listener

let name = '';
let value = 0;
addListener('count', (_name, _value) => {
  name = _name;
  value = _value;
});

console.log(name, value) // 'count', 1

---

Reading and updating values

const currentCount = store.get('count');

store.set('count', currentCount + 1);

console.log(value) // 2

---

Multiple Stores Example

const authStore = createStore({
  isAuthenticated: false,
});

const settingsStore = createStore({
  theme: "dark",
});

Each store is completely independent and has its own state and subscriptions.
