makest

A simple TypeScript state utility using classes.
It allows you to create a state container with getter and setter methods, fully typed and easy to use.

---

Features

• Fully typed with TypeScript generics
• Minimal, no dependencies
• Encapsulates state in a class instance
• Simple API: .value() to read, .setValue() to update
• Works for any type: boolean, string, number, objects, etc.

---

Installation

Copy index.ts into your project:

import { makeState } from "./makest"

---

Usage

Boolean toggle

const toggle = makeState<boolean>(false)

// Get the current value
console.log(toggle.value()) // false

// Update state
toggle.setValue(true)
console.log(toggle.value()) // true

String state

const word = makeState<string>("Hello")

console.log(word.value()) // "Hello"

// Update value
word.setValue("This is the new word")
console.log(word.value()) // "This is the new word"

Number Counter

const counter = makeState<number>(0)

// Read current value
console.log(counter.value()) // 0

// Increment manually
counter.setValue(counter.value() + 1)
console.log(counter.value()) // 1

// Increment using setTimeout
setTimeout(() => counter.setValue(counter.value() + 5), 2000)
setTimeout(() => console.log(counter.value()), 4000) // 6

API

Method	Description
value()	Returns the current state value.
setValue(v)	Updates the state to a new value v.

---

Notes

• Each call to makeState creates a separate state instance.
• Use it for toggles, counters, text, or any simple state.
• No hooks, subscriptions, or React dependencies — just clean TypeScript.

Why use this instead of a plain variable?

• Encapsulates state in a single object
• Provides getter and setter functions for consistent updates
• Can easily be expanded later (e.g., add listeners or logging)
• Type-safe for any data type
