SKILL.md

Zustand Skill

Expert assistance for implementing Zustand state management with modern patterns and TypeScript.

Capabilities

  • Create type-safe Zustand stores
  • Implement middleware (persist, devtools, immer)
  • Design store slices for modular state
  • Optimize selectors for performance
  • Handle async actions and subscriptions
  • Integrate with React components efficiently

Usage

Invoke this skill when you need to:

  • Set up lightweight global state
  • Create stores with persistence
  • Implement complex state with slices
  • Optimize component re-renders with selectors
  • Migrate from Redux or Context

Inputs

Parameter Type Required Description
storeName string Yes Name of the store
stateShape object Yes Initial state structure
actions array Yes Store actions to create
middleware array No Middleware to apply
persist boolean No Enable persistence

Configuration Example

json
{
  "storeName": "useCartStore",
  "stateShape": {
    "items": [],
    "total": 0
  },
  "actions": ["addItem", "removeItem", "clearCart"],
  "middleware": ["devtools", "persist"],
  "persist": true
}

Generated Patterns

Basic Store

typescript
import { create } from 'zustand';

interface CartItem {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  price: number;
  quantity: number;
}

interface CartStore {
  items: CartItem[];
  total: number;
  addItem: (item: Omit<CartItem, 'quantity'>) => void;
  removeItem: (id: string) => void;
  updateQuantity: (id: string, quantity: number) => void;
  clearCart: () => void;
}

export const useCartStore = create<CartStore>((set, get) => ({
  items: [],
  total: 0,

  addItem: (item) =>
    set((state) => {
      const existingItem = state.items.find((i) => i.id === item.id);
      if (existingItem) {
        return {
          items: state.items.map((i) =>
            i.id === item.id ? { ...i, quantity: i.quantity + 1 } : i
          ),
          total: state.total + item.price,
        };
      }
      return {
        items: [...state.items, { ...item, quantity: 1 }],
        total: state.total + item.price,
      };
    }),

  removeItem: (id) =>
    set((state) => {
      const item = state.items.find((i) => i.id === id);
      return {
        items: state.items.filter((i) => i.id !== id),
        total: state.total - (item ? item.price * item.quantity : 0),
      };
    }),

  updateQuantity: (id, quantity) =>
    set((state) => {
      const item = state.items.find((i) => i.id === id);
      if (!item) return state;
      const diff = (quantity - item.quantity) * item.price;
      return {
        items: state.items.map((i) =>
          i.id === id ? { ...i, quantity } : i
        ),
        total: state.total + diff,
      };
    }),

  clearCart: () => set({ items: [], total: 0 }),
}));

Store with Middleware

typescript
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { devtools, persist, subscribeWithSelector } from 'zustand/middleware';
import { immer } from 'zustand/middleware/immer';

interface UserStore {
  user: User | null;
  preferences: Preferences;
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
  updatePreferences: (prefs: Partial<Preferences>) => void;
  logout: () => void;
}

export const useUserStore = create<UserStore>()(
  devtools(
    persist(
      subscribeWithSelector(
        immer((set) => ({
          user: null,
          preferences: { theme: 'light', notifications: true },

          setUser: (user) =>
            set((state) => {
              state.user = user;
            }),

          updatePreferences: (prefs) =>
            set((state) => {
              Object.assign(state.preferences, prefs);
            }),

          logout: () =>
            set((state) => {
              state.user = null;
            }),
        }))
      ),
      {
        name: 'user-storage',
        partialize: (state) => ({ preferences: state.preferences }),
      }
    ),
    { name: 'UserStore' }
  )
);

Slice Pattern

typescript
import { create, StateCreator } from 'zustand';

interface AuthSlice {
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
  token: string | null;
  login: (token: string) => void;
  logout: () => void;
}

interface UISlice {
  sidebarOpen: boolean;
  theme: 'light' | 'dark';
  toggleSidebar: () => void;
  setTheme: (theme: 'light' | 'dark') => void;
}

type StoreState = AuthSlice & UISlice;

const createAuthSlice: StateCreator<StoreState, [], [], AuthSlice> = (set) => ({
  isAuthenticated: false,
  token: null,
  login: (token) => set({ isAuthenticated: true, token }),
  logout: () => set({ isAuthenticated: false, token: null }),
});

const createUISlice: StateCreator<StoreState, [], [], UISlice> = (set) => ({
  sidebarOpen: true,
  theme: 'light',
  toggleSidebar: () => set((state) => ({ sidebarOpen: !state.sidebarOpen })),
  setTheme: (theme) => set({ theme }),
});

export const useAppStore = create<StoreState>()((...a) => ({
  ...createAuthSlice(...a),
  ...createUISlice(...a),
}));

Async Actions

typescript
import { create } from 'zustand';

interface DataStore {
  data: Item[];
  loading: boolean;
  error: string | null;
  fetchData: () => Promise<void>;
}

export const useDataStore = create<DataStore>((set, get) => ({
  data: [],
  loading: false,
  error: null,

  fetchData: async () => {
    set({ loading: true, error: null });
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/data');
      const data = await response.json();
      set({ data, loading: false });
    } catch (error) {
      set({ error: (error as Error).message, loading: false });
    }
  },
}));

Selector Patterns

typescript
// Shallow comparison for object selectors
import { shallow } from 'zustand/shallow';

const { items, total } = useCartStore(
  (state) => ({ items: state.items, total: state.total }),
  shallow
);

// Computed selectors
const itemCount = useCartStore((state) =>
  state.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.quantity, 0)
);

Best Practices

  • Use selectors to minimize re-renders
  • Apply persist middleware for state that should survive refreshes
  • Use immer for complex nested updates
  • Split large stores into slices
  • Keep actions colocated with state
