Global State Management: Atomic & Modular

SigPro leverages the native power and efficiency of Signals to create robust global stores with 0% complexity. While other frameworks force you into heavy libraries and rigid boilerplate (Redux, Pinia, or Svelte Stores), SigPro treats "The Store" as a simple architectural choice: defining a Signal outside of a component.

Modular Organization (Zero Constraints)

You are not restricted to a single store.js. You can organize your state by feature, domain, or page. Since a SigPro store is just a standard JavaScript module exporting Signals, you can name your files whatever you like (auth.js, cart.js, settings.js) to keep your logic clean.

1. File-Based Stores (`<any-name>.js`)

Creating a dedicated file allows you to export only what you need. This modularity ensures Tree Shaking works perfectly—you never load state that isn't imported.

// auth.js
import { $ } from "sigpro";

// A simple global signal
export const user = $({ name: "Guest", loggedIn: false });

// A persistent global signal (auto-syncs with localStorage via native key)
export const theme = $("light", "app-theme-pref");

// A computed global signal that reacts to the 'user' signal
export const welcomeMessage = $(() => `Welcome back, ${user().name}!`);

2. Cross-Component Consumption

Once exported, these signals act as a Single Source of Truth. SigPro ensures that if a signal changes in one file, every component importing it across the entire app updates atomically without a full re-render.

// Profile.js
import { user } from "./auth.js";

const Profile = () => Div([
  H2(user().name),
  Button({ onclick: () => user({ name: "John Doe", loggedIn: true }) }, "Log In")
]);

// Navbar.js
import { welcomeMessage, theme } from "./auth.js";

const Navbar = () => Nav({ class: theme }, [
  Span(welcomeMessage)
]);

Why SigPro Stores are Superior

Feature	SigPro	Redux / Pinia / Svelte
Boilerplate	0% (Just a variable)	High (Actions, Reducers, Wrappers)
Organization	Unlimited (Any filename)	Often strictly "Store" or "Actions"
Persistence	Native (Just add a key)	Requires Middleware / Plugins
Learning Curve	Instant	Steep / Complex
Bundle Size	0KB (Part of the core)	10KB - 30KB+

The "Persistence" Advantage

The magic of SigPro’s $(value, "key") is that it works identically for local and global states. By simply adding a second argument, your Modular Store survives browser refreshes automatically. No manual localStorage.getItem or JSON.parse logic is ever required.

// This single line creates a global, reactive, 
// and persistent store for a shopping cart.
export const cart = $([], "session-cart");

Summary of Scopes

Local Scope: Signal defined inside a component. Unique to every instance created.
Module Scope: Signal defined outside a component (same file). Shared by all instances within that specific file.
Global Scope: Signal defined in a separate file. Shared across the entire application by any importing module.
Persistent Scope: Any Signal defined with a key. Shared globally and remembered after a page reload.
