Starbeam Reactivity

Starbeam is a library for building reactive data systems that integrate natively with UI frameworks such as React, Vue, Svelte or Ember.

It interoperates natively with React state management patterns, Svelte stores, the Vue composition API, and Ember's auto-tracking system.

What is Starbeam Reactivity?

Starbeam is a write-once, integrate-anywhere library.

When you write code using @starbeam/core APIs, you can integrate them into any reactive framework with the subscribe API.

Starbeam also comes with adapters for React (@starbeam/react), Vue (@starbeam/vue), Svelte (@starbeam/svelte) and Ember (@starbeam/glimmer).

These adapters use the subscribe API under the hood to expose idiomatic entry points for each framework.

You can use Starbeam in a targeted part of an existing app without needing to change anything else.

Starbeam resources are self-contained, and interact with your framework in a clear, structured way.

That said, when you use multiple Starbeam resources in a single app, Starbeam coordinates with your framework to avoid duplicate work.

Real World -> Hooks (lifetime) -> [Data Land] -> Subscribers (exfiltrating) -> Real World -> browser task or microtask -> repeat

If you remove everything around data land, it makes sense as "Just JS"
