Helux is a reactive atomic state management engine for React and React-like frameworks, built on the fast immutable-js library limu. It combines atoms, signals, automatic dependency collection, and derived state to enable fine-grained, high-performance UI updates.

Use cases

• manage shared state in React apps without prop drilling
• replace Redux or Recoil with a lighter reactive state engine
• achieve fine-grained DOM-level re-renders with signals instead of hooks
• handle async task loading states and errors in components
• build two-way data binding for forms
• structure large frontend apps with modular state definitions like Pinia
• derive state reactively from other state nodes with minimal update granularity

When to choose

• you use React, Preact, or React-like frameworks and want fine-grained reactive updates
• you want dependency-tracked state without splitting state into tiny atoms
• you prefer mutable-style draft updates with immutable performance
• you want a Pinia-like store API in React
• you need built-in loading management, sync/two-way binding, and plugin support

When to avoid

• your project uses a framework outside the React ecosystem like Vue or Angular natively
• you need a battle-tested giant ecosystem with extensive middleware like Redux
• your team prefers minimal dependencies and plain built-in React state for small apps
• you require server-state caching features like React Query provides
