How to Integrate MobX with React Functional Components
MobX has become a powerful state management solution for React applications, offering a simpler alternative to Redux. Let’s explore how to effectively integrate MobX with React functional components.
Setting Up MobX in Your React Project
First, let’s install the necessary dependencies:
npm install mobx mobx-react-lite
Creating Your First MobX Store
Let’s create a simple todo store to demonstrate MobX’s capabilities:
import { makeObservable, observable, action } from 'mobx';
class TodoStore { todos = [];
constructor() { makeObservable(this, { todos: observable, addTodo: action, toggleTodo: action }); }
addTodo = (text) => { this.todos.push({ id: Date.now(), text, completed: false }); };
toggleTodo = (id) => { const todo = this.todos.find(todo => todo.id === id); if (todo) { todo.completed = !todo.completed; } };}
export const todoStore = new TodoStore();
Using MobX in Functional Components
Now, let’s create a component that uses our store:
import { observer } from 'mobx-react-lite';import { todoStore } from './stores/TodoStore';
const TodoList = observer(() => { return ( <div> <button onClick={() => todoStore.addTodo("New Task")}>Add Todo</button> {todoStore.todos.map(todo => ( <div key={todo.id} onClick={() => todoStore.toggleTodo(todo.id)}> {todo.text} - {todo.completed ? "✓" : "○"} </div> ))} </div> );});
Best Practices and Advanced Patterns
Using Context for Store Injection
Instead of importing stores directly, use React Context for better testability:
import { createContext, useContext } from 'react';
const StoreContext = createContext(null);
export const StoreProvider = ({ children }) => { const store = new TodoStore(); return ( <StoreContext.Provider value={store}> {children} </StoreContext.Provider> );};
// Custom hook to use the storeexport const useTodoStore = () => { const store = useContext(StoreContext); if (!store) { throw new Error('Using store outside provider!'); } return store;};
Computed Values
MobX shines with computed values. Here’s how to implement them:
class TodoStore { // ... previous code ...
get completedTodosCount() { return this.todos.filter(todo => todo.completed).length; }
constructor() { makeObservable(this, { // ... previous observables ... completedTodosCount: computed }); }}
Remember to always wrap your components with observer
when they consume observable values. This ensures your components re-render when the observed data changes.
