const state = useSyncExternalStore(subscribe, getSnapshot[, getServerSnapshot]);

useSyncExternalStore is a hook recommended for reading and subscribing from external data sources in a way that’s compatible with concurrent rendering features like selective hydration and time slicing.

This method returns the value of the store and accepts three arguments:

• subscribe: function to register a callback that is called whenever the store changes.
• getSnapshot: function that returns the current value of the store.
• getServerSnapshot: function that returns the snapshot used during server rendering.

The most basic example simply subscribes to the entire store:

const state = useSyncExternalStore(store.subscribe, store.getSnapshot);

However, you can also subscribe to a specific field:

const selectedField = useSyncExternalStore(
  store.subscribe,
  () => store.getSnapshot().selectedField,
);

When server rendering, you must serialize the store value used on the server, and provide it to useSyncExternalStore. React will use this snapshot during hydration to prevent server mismatches:

const selectedField = useSyncExternalStore(
  store.subscribe,
  () => store.getSnapshot().selectedField,
  () => INITIAL_SERVER_SNAPSHOT.selectedField,
);

Note:

getSnapshot must return a cached value. If getSnapshot is called multiple times in a row, it must return the same exact value unless there was a store update in between.

A shim is provided for supporting multiple React versions published as use-sync-external-store/shim. This shim will prefer useSyncExternalStore when available, and fallback to a user-space implementation when it’s not.

As a convenience, we also provide a version of the API with automatic support for memoizing the result of getSnapshot published as use-sync-external-store/with-selector.
