Welcome! This is a playground for a proposed React API called hoist. Here are some helpful links:
View RFC (outdated)
Hoisting is when state that is shared between components is held by a common ancestor and then passed down through props or context.
Hoisting with the built-in APIs has many downsides which is why we have so many third-party state management solutions. These third-party solutions come with their own compromises but they're often worth it because they solve for a significant gap in the React API.
hoist is an attempt to solve for the same gap in the React API but without the compromises of third-party solutions. With hoist you're just using hooks to write your logic and hoist handles the sharing of those hooks between components.
Personally, I find it easier to understand an API when I can play with it. This is a place to experiment with hoist and get a feel for how it would work.
Keep in mind, there are going to be some issues, bugs, and missing features. Please oepn an issue for them on Github and I'll see if I can fix them.
I hope you'll find hoist as promising as I do! If you like what you see please consider supporting the RFC by leaving a comment; that will help get the attention of the Core Team.
Yes! Since the RFC I have revised the API, I'll update the RFC soon but it may no longer be necessary to integrate this into React. It seems a third-party library may be viable after all.
