  • combine

    combine middleware lets you create a cohesive state by merging an initial state with a state creator function that adds new state slices and actions. This is really helpful as it automatically infers types, so there’s no need for explicit type definitions.

    TIP

    This makes state management more straightforward and efficient by making curried version ofcreate and createStore not necessary for middleware usage.

    const nextStateCreatorFn = combine(initialState, additionalStateCreatorFn)

    Types

    Signature

    combine<T extends object, U extends object>(initialState: T, additionalStateCreatorFn: StateCreator<T, [], [], U>): StateCreator<Omit<T, keyof U> & U, [], []>

    Reference

    combine(initialState, additionalStateCreatorFn)

    Parameters

    • initialState: The value you want the state to be initially. It can be a value of any type, except a function.
    • additionalStateCreatorFn: A function that takes set function, get function and store as arguments. Usually, you will return an object with the methods you want to expose.

    Returns

    combine returns a state creator function.

    Usage

    Creating a store with inferred types

    This example shows you how you can create a store and get types automatically inferred, so you don’t need to define them explicitly.

    import { createStore } from 'zustand/vanilla'
    import { combine } from 'zustand/middleware'
    
    const positionStore = createStore(
      combine({ position: { x: 0, y: 0 } }, (set) => ({
        setPosition: (position) => set({ position }),
      })),
    )
    
    const $dotContainer = document.getElementById('dot-container') as HTMLDivElement
    const $dot = document.getElementById('dot') as HTMLDivElement
    
    $dotContainer.addEventListener('pointermove', (event) => {
      positionStore.getState().setPosition({
        x: event.clientX,
        y: event.clientY,
      })
    })
    
    const render: Parameters<typeof positionStore.subscribe>[0] = (state) => {
      $dot.style.transform = `translate(${state.position.x}px, ${state.position.y}px)`
    }
    
    render(positionStore.getInitialState(), positionStore.getInitialState())
    
    positionStore.subscribe(render)

    Here's the html code

    <div id="dot-container" style="position: relative; width: 100vw; height: 100vh;">
      <div
        id="dot"
        style="position: absolute; background-color: red; border-radius: 50%; left: -10px; top: -10px; width: 20px; height: 20px;"
      ></div>
    </div>
