Run Unistore state management in a Web Worker with seamless bidirectional synchronization to the main thread.
Stockroom is a JavaScript library that runs Unistore-based state management in a Web Worker, enabling background thread execution of store logic while keeping the main thread responsive. It solves performance bottlenecks by moving state updates and actions off the main thread, with automatic synchronization back to the UI.
Frontend developers using Unistore (or Preact/React) who need to improve performance by offloading state management to a Web Worker, particularly in applications with heavy state computations.
Developers choose Stockroom because it offers a drop-in solution to move Unistore stores to Web Workers without changing their existing code, providing performance gains with minimal complexity and built-in fallback support.
🗃 Offload your store management to a worker easily.

Offloads state management to a Web Worker, reducing main thread load and improving UI responsiveness, as emphasized in the philosophy for data-intensive apps.
Uses the same API as Unistore, making it a drop-in add-on that requires minimal code changes for existing Unistore users, per the README.
Automatically falls back to `stockroom/inline` when Web Workers are unsupported, ensuring compatibility across environments without breaking functionality.
Allows actions to be centralized in the worker for better separation, with the flexibility to run on the main thread, as shown in the opt-in feature.
Requires Unistore as a peer dependency, making it incompatible with other state management libraries and limiting flexibility for diverse projects.
Involves configuring worker loaders (e.g., worker-loader) and managing separate files (index.js and worker.js), increasing initial effort and potential for errors.
The bidirectional synchronization between worker and main thread can introduce delays, which may hinder performance in real-time or high-frequency update scenarios.
The README provides basic usage but lacks in-depth guides on debugging, scaling, or integrating with frameworks beyond simple examples, slowing down development.
