SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides clear guidelines and utilities for managing state within the Vultisig codebase, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and efficient data flow across different parts of the application (desktop and extension).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State Provider: For mutable, component-local state using React Context.
  • Value Provider: For read-only, globally accessible state.
  • Persistent State: For storing state that survives reloads and can sync across tabs (desktop).
  • Validation: Ensures the integrity of persisted state values.
  • Component Autonomy: Promotes clean prop-passing by encouraging components to fetch their own state.
  • Use Case: When developing a new feature that requires managing user preferences that should persist across browser sessions and be accessible by multiple components, consult this guide to implement it using the appropriate persistent state hook.

Quick Start

Use the state skill to implement a persistent state hook for managing user theme preferences.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement persistent state in React with validation?

To implement persistent state in React with validation, use a dedicated hook that stores data in persistent storage and validates values to ensure integrity across browser sessions and reloads.

What is the best way to manage globally accessible read-only state in React?

The best way to manage globally accessible read-only state in React is by using a Value Provider, which exposes shared data without allowing direct mutations from consuming components.

When should I use React Context for mutable component-local state?

You should use React Context for mutable component-local state when you need a State Provider that allows specific components to update shared data while maintaining clean architecture.

Does persistent state sync across multiple tabs in desktop and extension environments?

Persistent state syncs across multiple tabs in desktop environments, and this pattern explicitly addresses cross-client storage differences to ensure consistent data flow between desktop and extension builds.

How do I promote component autonomy when passing state in React?

To promote component autonomy in React, encourage components to fetch their own state using hook-based access rather than relying on deep prop-passing from parent components.
