🎯 Changes

Breaking (per review): @tanstack/react-store now requires React 18 or newer. peerDependencies are react / react-dom ^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0; React 16.8 and 17 are no longer supported. This lets the package use React's built-in useSyncExternalStore and drop the use-sync-external-store dependency entirely. The changeset is major and the repo enters changesets pre mode with the alpha tag, so this releases as @tanstack/react-store@1.0.0-alpha.0.

useSelector in @tanstack/react-store wrapped use-sync-external-store/shim/with-selector. Per subscribed component and per render that stack ran two useCallbacks in useSelector (subscribe, getSnapshot) plus, inside the with-selector shim, a useRef, a useMemo with four deps that rebuilt the memoized selector whenever the (usually inline) selector changed identity, a useEffect copying the committed value into the ref, useDebugValue, and finally useSyncExternalStore. That is about seven hook slots and six allocations per render, and a passive effect React has to traverse on every commit, for every component that calls useSelector.

Measured in TanStack Router with 200 mounted <Link>s (macOS arm64, Node 24.8.0; <Link> calls useSelector once per link): a replacement built on a plain useSyncExternalStore and a single ref reduced retained heap by 8% (2738 → 2512 KB) and re-render CPU by about 5% on renders that recompute the selection. Router can't ship that privately (27 call sites would keep the shim in the bundle), so this lands upstream.

What changed

  • useSelector now calls React's built-in useSyncExternalStore (available since React 18). The use-sync-external-store dependency and @types/use-sync-external-store are removed; the lockfile change is limited to those entries.
  • One useRef holds one flat, in-place-mutated object: the subscribe and getSnapshot callbacks together with the source, selector and compare they were built for, plus the last selection (owner, snapshot, selected). subscribe is rebuilt only when the source changes and getSnapshot only when source, selector or compare change. No useCallbacks: React clones every hook object on each re-render and useCallback allocates its closure and deps array every time, so the hook went from three own slots to one.
  • getSnapshot is identity-stable while its inputs are stable. React compares getSnapshot by identity; whenever it changes it flags the fiber for passive effects, pushes an updateStoreInstance effect (plus a bind) and, in transitions, a store consistency check that calls getSnapshot again. With a stable selector, a re-render that leaves the store untouched now costs no allocations and no effects in useSelector.
  • The selection is keyed on the getSnapshot closure that computed it (owner). That closure captures the source, selector and compare it was built for, so a memo hit is two identity checks (owner, snapshot) and no selector/compare fields are needed on the record. On a miss it runs the selector and, when compare(previous, next) is true, keeps the previous selection so useSyncExternalStore sees an unchanged value and skips the re-render. Inline selectors allocate exactly one closure per render.
  • The subscription cleanup calls subscription.unsubscribe() on the subscription object instead of handing React the detached method (pre-existing issue flagged by CodeRabbit: a SelectionSource whose unsubscribe relies on this threw during cleanup and stayed subscribed).
  • The default identity selector is hoisted to a module-level function so useSelector(atom) (no selector) takes the stable path.
  • _useStore, useAtom and useStore only call useSelector and needed no changes. preact-store is untouched (it has its own shim).
  • docs/installation.md now states React v18+ and no longer claims ReactDOM-only support (React Native works too).
  • Release plumbing: .changeset/pre.json (changeset pre enter alpha) and the changeset bumped to major. changeset status reports @tanstack/react-store 1.0.0-alpha.0; a local dry run of changeset version produced 1.0.0-alpha.0 with the expected changelog entry. Note that while pre.json exists, every package that receives a changeset is versioned as an -alpha.N prerelease; run pnpm changeset pre exit to return to normal releases.

Semantics preserved

  • Public signature and types are unchanged: useSelector(source, selector = identity, options?: { compare }), default compare ===, SelectionSource shape and exported UseSelectorOptions unchanged.
  • Both closures capture their inputs instead of reading them from the ref, and the selection is keyed on the closure. A render that suspends with a different selector (a transition) therefore cannot change what the committed subscription selects, and cannot poison the committed selector's memo. The existing test useSelector keeps the committed selector active while a selector change suspends passes unchanged; dropping the owner check makes it, the selector-switch test and the compare-change test fail (verified by mutation).
  • As in the with-selector shim (which compared the first result of every rebuilt memoized selector against the last committed inst.value), compare runs against the previous selection regardless of which selector produced it. That is what keeps inline selectors such as useSelector(store, (s) => ({ items: s.items }), { compare: shallow }) identity-stable across parent re-renders.
  • Because the closure captures compare, a render with a different compare gets a new closure and therefore a memo miss, as the shim's memo (keyed on isEqual) did. A test pins this and fails on the first commits of this PR, where the record was keyed on the selector only.
  • getSnapshot results are cached per closure and snapshot, so React's dev-mode "The result of getSnapshot should be cached" check stays quiet.
  • The only dropped hook is the shim's useDebugValue(value), which only affected the React DevTools display of the hook value.

Tests added (packages/react-store/tests/index.test.tsx)

describe('useSelector selection memo'):

  1. A stable selector is not re-run when the component re-renders with an unchanged store value.
  2. compare returning true keeps the previous selection identity and does not re-render, including across a re-render with a new inline selector identity (selections[1] is selections[0]).
  3. Switching to a new selector re-runs it exactly once and returns its selection; switching back re-runs the first selector.
  4. A store update re-runs the installed selector exactly once per update, and an update that leaves the selection unchanged runs it once without re-rendering.

describe('useSelector subscription cleanup'):

  1. A source returning a class-based subscription whose unsubscribe uses this is cleaned up on unmount (failed with TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'closed') before the fix).
  2. Switching source moves the subscription (old source has 0 listeners, new has 1) and reads and follows the new source.

describe('useSelector compare changes'):

  1. The compare function from the latest render is used (fails on the first commits of this PR, see above).

Verification

Run one at a time with CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/react-store:<target> --outputStyle=stream --skip-nx-cache:

  • test:lib (vitest): 2 files, 52 passed (45 existing unchanged + 7 new), type errors: none
  • test:types: TS 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 all pass
  • test:eslint: 0 problems
  • test:build (publint --strict): no issues
  • pnpm test:knip, pnpm test:sherif: no issues; pnpm install --frozen-lockfile succeeds with the trimmed lockfile

Performance

Throwaway vitest bench (not committed; the repo has no benchmark convention): production React 19.2.5, jsdom, 200 subscribed components, flushSync renders, mean per operation. "useCallback version" is the earlier commit of this PR (useCallback × 2 + useRef, per-render getSnapshot).

scenario (200 components) useCallback version single ref
parent re-render, stable selectors, store unchanged 0.164 ms 0.128 ms −22%
parent re-render, inline selectors, store unchanged 0.161 ms 0.153 ms −5%
store update re-rendering all components 0.203 ms 0.188 ms −8%
mount + unmount 0.795 ms 0.732 ms −8%

A variant that kept two useCallbacks and keyed getSnapshot on [source, selector, compare] was slower than the useCallback version (the extra hook slot and deps compare cost more than the skipped effect saves), which is why the single-ref approach was chosen. The final flattening (one object, closure-keyed memo) removes a further allocation per inline render and per mount and halves the memo-hit comparisons; at 200 components that is inside the bench's ±3–8% noise, since the hook is now a small fraction of React's per-component work.

Bundle size

The package builds unbundled; dist/index.js is a barrel (unchanged at 480 B) and the memo now lives in dist/useSelector.js. What consumers ship, measured with rolldown (--minify --format esm, NODE_ENV=production, react/@tanstack/store external):

react-store as shipped to consumers raw gzip
main (react-store + use-sync-external-store shim + with-selector) 3385 B 1510 B
this PR 1443 B 676 B
delta vs main −1942 B (−57%) −834 B (−55%)

useSelector alone is 595 B / 343 B gzip minified.

… selection ref

`useSelector` wrapped `use-sync-external-store/shim/with-selector`. Per
subscribed component and per render that stack ran two `useCallback`s in
`useSelector` (`subscribe`, `getSnapshot`) and, inside the shim, a
`useRef`, a `useMemo` with four deps that rebuilt the memoized selector
whenever the (usually inline) selector changed identity, a `useEffect`
copying the committed value into the ref, `useDebugValue`, and finally
`useSyncExternalStore`: about seven hook slots and six allocations per
render plus a passive effect React had to traverse on every commit.
Measured in TanStack Router with 200 mounted `<Link>`s, a plain
`useSyncExternalStore` plus a single ref cut retained heap by 8%
(2738 -> 2512 KB) and re-render CPU by about 5% on renders that
recompute the selection.

`useSelector` now calls `useSyncExternalStore` from
`use-sync-external-store/shim` directly. One `useRef` holds the last
`{ selector, snapshot, selected }` record, mutated in place. `getSnapshot`
reads `source.get()`; when the record's selector and snapshot are
identical (`===`) it returns the stored selection, otherwise it runs the
selector and, when `compare(previous, next)` holds, keeps the previous
selection so `useSyncExternalStore` sees an unchanged value and skips the
re-render. Keying the memo on the selector identity as well as the
snapshot is what keeps a render that suspends with a different selector
(pinned by the existing suspended-transition test) from poisoning the
committed selector's selection. As in the with-selector shim, `compare`
runs against the previous selection regardless of which selector produced
it, which is what keeps inline selectors identity-stable across
re-renders. The default identity selector is hoisted so
`useSelector(atom)` hits the memo too.

`subscribe` stays memoized on `[source]`: React re-subscribes in a
passive effect whenever `subscribe` changes identity (its deps array is
`[subscribe]`), so a per-render closure would tear down and recreate the
store subscription on every render. `getSnapshot` is a plain closure: it
has to read this render's `selector` and `compare`, which are usually
inline and would defeat a `useCallback` anyway; React only compares its
identity to decide whether to re-check the store after commit.

The base shim is kept because the peer range still includes React 16.8
and 17, which have no native `useSyncExternalStore`; on React 18+ the
shim delegates to the native hook. Only the `with-selector` entry is
dropped, so that module leaves consumer bundles (react-store + shim,
minified: 3385 -> 2808 B raw, 1510 -> 1331 B gzip).

Public API and semantics are unchanged; all existing tests pass
unmodified. New tests pin that a stable selector is not re-run on a
re-render with an unchanged store value, that `compare` returning true
keeps the previous selection identity without re-rendering, that a new
selector is re-run and its selection returned, and that a store update
re-runs the installed selector exactly once.

Comment thread packages/react-store/src/useSelector.ts Outdated
…alStore

Review feedback on #362 asked to change the supported React versions
rather than keep the `use-sync-external-store` shim around for React 16.8
and 17. The peer range is now `react` / `react-dom` `^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0`,
so `useSelector` imports `useSyncExternalStore` from `react` and the
`use-sync-external-store` dependency and its types are removed. The
consumer bundle (react-store, minified, `react` and `@tanstack/store`
external) goes from 3385 B raw / 1510 B gzip with both shim modules to
1347 B raw / 646 B gzip.

Because dropping React 16/17 is breaking, the changeset is now `major`
and the repo enters changesets pre mode with the `alpha` tag
(`.changeset/pre.json`), so the release lands as
`@tanstack/react-store@1.0.0-alpha.0`. `docs/installation.md` states the
new minimum React version.

Include compare in the selection cache invalidation.

useSelector accepts a new compare function on each render. If a previous comparison preserved the old selection, a later render with the same selector and source snapshot returns that cached selection before invoking the new compare. The new comparison remains unapplied until the selector or source snapshot changes. Track compare in the cache key, or recompute the selection when it changes.

This is super false. We explicitly support RN in most all of our packages, and need to therefore support it here.

54-111: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Include compare in the selection cache key.

A parent rerender can change options.compare while selector and the source snapshot stay unchanged. The fast path then returns cached.selected without re-running the selector or applying the new comparator. If the previous comparator preserved an older selection, the hook returns stale selection identity or value. Store compare in Selection and require it to match before returning the cached selection.

`useSelector` handed React the `unsubscribe` method detached from the
subscription object, both before this PR (destructured) and in the
rewrite. `SelectionSource` is structural, so a source whose `unsubscribe`
relies on `this` (a class-based subscription, for example) satisfies the
type but threw `TypeError` from React's effect cleanup and stayed
subscribed. The cleanup is now a closure that calls
`subscription.unsubscribe()`.

Adds a regression test with a class-based subscription that fails with
"Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'closed')" on the previous
code, and tidies the ReactDOM sentence in docs/installation.md.

…ss renders

`useSelector` still paid for three of its own hook slots per render (two
`useCallback`s plus the store hook; React clones every hook object on each
re-render and `useCallback` allocates the closure and deps array every
time) and handed `useSyncExternalStore` a fresh `getSnapshot` each render.
React compares `getSnapshot` by identity: whenever it changes it flags the
fiber for passive effects, pushes an `updateStoreInstance` effect (plus a
`bind`) and, in transitions, a store consistency check that calls
`getSnapshot` again, even when nothing about the component changed.

The hook now keeps a single instance in one `useRef`: the `subscribe` and
`getSnapshot` callbacks together with the `source`, `selector` and
`compare` they were built for. A new instance is only created when one of
those inputs changes; `subscribe` is carried over unless the source
changed, so React re-subscribes only then. Both closures capture their
inputs instead of reading them from the ref, so a render that suspends
with a different selector cannot change what the committed subscription
selects (the suspended-transition test still passes). The selection
record is shared by all instances of a component so inline selectors
keep their identity-stable results, and it is now keyed on the compare
function as well: after a compare-equal update the record advances its
snapshot while keeping the previous selection, and a later render with a
different `compare` used to hit that memo without ever consulting the new
function. The with-selector shim keyed its memo on `isEqual`, so this
restores parity; a new test pins it and fails on the previous commit.

Measured with a throwaway vitest bench (production React 19.2.5, jsdom,
200 subscribed components, mean per operation): parent re-render with
stable selectors and an unchanged store 0.164 -> 0.128 ms (-22%), inline
selectors 0.161 -> 0.153 ms (-5%), store update re-rendering all 200
0.203 -> 0.188 ms (-8%), mount + unmount 0.795 -> 0.732 ms (-8%). A
variant that kept `useCallback` for both callbacks was slower than the
previous code, so the extra hook slot costs more than the skipped effect
saves. The consumer bundle (react-store minified, react and
@tanstack/store external) is 1347 -> 1660 B raw, 646 -> 740 B gzip for
this, still down from 3385 / 1510 B on main.

Tests: source switch moves the subscription and reads the new source; the
compare function from the latest render is used. Docs: the installation
page no longer claims ReactDOM-only support, React Native works as well.

Flatten useSelector's per-component state into one object that is
mutated in place instead of an instance that was re-created on every
input change plus a nested selection record, and key the memoized
selection on the `getSnapshot` closure that computed it. That closure
already captures the source, selector and compare it was built for, so
the memo hit is two identity checks (owner, snapshot) instead of four,
the record needs no selector/compare fields, and the three factory
functions and the `previous` plumbing go away.

Per render this removes one object allocation for inline selectors (only
the closure is created now) and the nested record indirection from every
`getSnapshot` call; a mount allocates one object instead of two. The
stable path is unchanged: one ref, three comparisons, no allocations, no
effects. A whole-render bench with 200 components cannot separate this
from the previous commit (the hook is now a small fraction of React's
per-component work), so the gain is by operation count.

useSelector minified: 812 -> 595 B raw, 400 -> 343 B gzip. Consumer
bundle (react-store minified, react and @tanstack/store external):
1660 -> 1443 B raw, 740 -> 676 B gzip; main ships 3385 / 1510 B.

Dropping the owner check makes the suspended-transition, selector-switch
and compare-change tests fail, so the key stays pinned.
