Debugging State Management Issues

Demonstrate how to debug issues arising from improper state management in TanStack Config, including using the React Developer Tools to inspect the current state and trace updates.
import { useStore } from 'tanstack-react-store';

function Component() {
  const [state, actions] = useStore();
  // Insert a console log to inspect the current state
  console.log('Current state:', state);
  // Add a button to trigger state update
  return (
    <button onClick={() => actions.addItem({ id: new Date().getTime(), text: 'New Item' })}>Add Item</button>
  );
}
This code snippet demonstrates how to use console logging to inspect the current state in a component using TanStack Store. A button is provided to trigger a state update for testing reactivity.
// Assuming an action to add an item exists
actions.addItem = function(item) {
  console.log('Before adding item:', state.items);
  state.items.push(item);
  console.log('After adding item:', state.items);
};
This code snippet showcases how to debug state updates by placing console logs before and after mutating the state. It's a common practice to understand the state changes in response to actions.
import React from 'react';
import { DevTools } from 'tanstack-react-devtools';

function App() {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <YourAppComponents />
      {/* Add the TanStack React DevTools to your app */}
      <DevTools />
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}
Including TanStack React DevTools in your application setup for a visual inspection of the current state and changes over time. This tool aids in debugging by providing a more comprehensive overview of state management.
