delete

The Statety.delete function is used to remove a state key and all its subscribers, including those created manually via Statety.subscribe. This is useful for dynamic or temporary pieces of state that you want to clean up when they are no longer needed. Use with caution, as deleting a key will make it unavailable for future reads or updates.

TypeScript Signature

Statety.delete<T>(key: AnyStatetyKey<T>): void

Parameters

• key – The state key to delete. Can be basic, derived, or computed.

Returns

• void – Does not return a value.

Example

Deleting a State Key

import { Statety } from "statety";

const USER_KEY = Statety.create<{ username: string }>("user", {
  username: "guest",
});

// Delete the key
Statety.delete(USER_KEY);

// After deletion, reading the key returns null
console.log(Statety.read(USER_KEY)); // Output: null

Notes

• Deleting a key removes all subscribers associated with it.
• Use this method carefully for dynamic or temporary state to avoid unintended loss of data.
• Any future calls to Statety.read or Statety.set for the deleted key will have no effect.
