How can I have access to the setState method within an action?

[Victor Cardins]

I'd like to be able to do reuse getBaseActions. How can I access set from within createSlice?

export const datasetSlice = createSlice<'dataset', DatasetState, DatasetAction>({
	name: 'dataset',
	value: {
		...baseState,
		filters: defaultFilters,
	},
	actions: {
		// ...getBaseActions(set, get),
		updateFilters: (filters: ISearchFilterProps) => (_prevValue: DatasetState) => ({
			...baseState,
			filters,
		}),
	},
});

You can't. The rationale here is that slices are isolated, and a slice can't know other slices.
We have withActions for inter-slice logic.

zustand-slices/examples/03_actions/src/app.tsx

Lines 24 to 28 in 4274b6d

 withActions(withSlices(countSlice, textSlice), { 
   setCountWithTextLength: () => (state) => { 
     state['count/set'](state.text.length); 
   }, 
 }), 

Let me know if it works for your case or not.

If it doesn't, I guess your case would fit better with the original slicing pattern without this library.

@dai-shi Thanks for the prompt response. I'm actually testing different slicing pattern. I've played with the one your suggested as well as zustand-x which has been the "winner" so far.
Btw, any comment on Zustand-x ?

[Daishi Kato]

To me, zustand-x is an opinionated wrapper library around zustand and others.

zustand-slices (also opinionated) is a util library to be used with zustand (unopinionated). Just creating so-called createState factory.

Sounds good, @dai-shi! I'm happy with your responses.
