-# React State Custom - Documentation
+# React State Custom
 
-Welcome to the comprehensive documentation for the `react-state-custom` library!
+**Simple. Powerful. TypeScript-first.**
 
-## 📚 Documentation Files
-
-- **[API_DOCUMENTATION.md](./API_DOCUMENTATION.md)** - Complete API reference with examples for all exported functions, hooks, and classes
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
+A lightweight React state management library that combines the simplicity of React hooks with the power of event-driven subscriptions. No boilerplate, no complexity—just pure, performant state management.
 
 ```bash
 npm install react-state-custom
 ```
 
-## 📖 What's Inside
+## Why React State Custom?
+
+**Zero Boilerplate** • **Type-Safe** • **Selective Re-renders** • **Hook-Based** • **~10KB Bundle**
+
+React State Custom lets you write state management code that feels natural—because it **is** just React hooks. Use the same hooks you already know (`useState`, `useEffect`, etc.) to create powerful, shared state without learning new paradigms.
+
+## ⚡ Quick Example
+
+```typescript
+import { createRootCtx, createAutoCtx, useQuickSubscribe, AutoRootCtx } from 'react-state-custom';
+
+// 1. Write your state logic using familiar React hooks
+function useCounterState() {
+  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
+  const increment = () => setCount(c => c + 1);
+  const decrement = () => setCount(c => c - 1);
+  
+  return { count, increment, decrement };
+}
+
+// 2. Create shared context (one line!)
+const { useCtxState } = createAutoCtx(createRootCtx('counter', useCounterState));
+
+// 3. Add AutoRootCtx to your app root
+function App() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <AutoRootCtx />
+      <Counter />
+    </>
+  );
+}
+
+// 4. Use anywhere in your app
+function Counter() {
+  const ctx = useCtxState();
+  const { count, increment, decrement } = useQuickSubscribe(ctx);
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{count}</h1>
+      <button onClick={increment}>+</button>
+      <button onClick={decrement}>-</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**That's it!** No reducers, no actions, no providers to wrap—just hooks.
+
+## 🎯 Key Features
+
+### 1. **Just React Hooks**
+Use `useState`, `useEffect`, `useMemo`, and any other React hooks you already know. No new concepts to learn.
+
+```typescript
+function useUserState({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
+  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
+  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetchUser(userId).then(setUser).finally(() => setLoading(false));
+  }, [userId]);
+  
+  return { user, loading };
+}
+```
 
-The `react-state-custom` library provides a powerful set of tools for managing shared state in React applications:
+### 2. **Selective Re-renders**
+Components only re-render when the **specific data they subscribe to** changes—not when anything in the state changes.
 
-### Core Features
+```typescript
+// Only re-renders when 'user' changes, not when 'loading' changes
+const { user } = useDataSubscribeMultiple(ctx, 'user');
 
-- **Context System** - Type-safe context management with event-driven subscriptions
-- **Root Context Factory** - Automated context lifecycle management
-- **Auto Context System** - Self-managing context instances
-- **Utility Hooks** - Performance optimization tools
+// Or subscribe to multiple fields
+const { user, loading } = useDataSubscribeMultiple(ctx, 'user', 'loading');
+```
 
-### Key Benefits
+### 3. **Automatic Context Management**
+With `AutoRootCtx`, state contexts are automatically created and destroyed as needed. No manual provider management.
 
-- ✅ **Type Safety** - Full TypeScript support with strong typing
-- ✅ **Performance** - Only re-renders when subscribed data changes
-- ✅ **Flexibility** - Works with any data structure
-- ✅ **Developer Experience** - Rich debugging and error checking
-- ✅ **Minimal Boilerplate** - Automated context management
+### 4. **TypeScript First**
+Full type inference and type safety throughout. Your IDE knows exactly what's in your state.

-## 🎯 Common Use Cases
+### When to Use React State Custom
 
-- **Global State Management** - Application-wide state without Redux complexity
-- **Component Communication** - Share data between distant components
-- **Performance Optimization** - Minimize unnecessary re-renders
-- **Context Composition** - Combine multiple contexts efficiently
+✅ **Choose React State Custom if you:**
+- Want to use React hooks for state management without learning new patterns
+- Need fine-grained control over component re-renders
+- Prefer minimal boilerplate and configuration
+- Want automatic context lifecycle management
+- Need multiple independent state contexts that don't interfere
 
-## 🔧 Quick Example
+❌ **Consider Redux if you:**
+- Need powerful time-travel debugging (Redux DevTools)
+- Have a very large team that benefits from strict architectural patterns
+- Already have significant Redux investment
 
-### Using createRootCtx for Advanced State Management
+❌ **Consider Zustand if you:**
+- Want the absolute smallest bundle size
+- Need a simple global store without context isolation
+- Don't need automatic context lifecycle management
 
+## 🔥 Real-World Example: User Authentication
 
-file main.tsx
 ```typescript
-import { AutoRootCtx } from 'react-state-custom';
+// authState.ts
+function useAuthState() {
+  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);
+  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Check authentication on mount
+    checkAuth().then(setUser).finally(() => setLoading(false));
+  }, []);
+  
+  const login = async (email: string, password: string) => {
+    setLoading(true);
+    try {
+      const user = await authService.login(email, password);
+      setUser(user);
+    } finally {
+      setLoading(false);
+    }
+  };
+  
+  const logout = async () => {
+    await authService.logout();
+    setUser(null);
+  };
+  
+  return { user, loading, login, logout };
+}
 
-// Root Component
-function App({children}) {
+export const { useCtxState: useAuthState } = createAutoCtx(
+  createRootCtx('auth', useAuthState)
+);
+
+// App.tsx
+function App() {
   return (
     <>
       <AutoRootCtx />
-      {children}
+      <Router>
+        <Header />
+        <Routes />
+      </Router>
     </>
   );
 }
 
-```
-file userState.ts
-```typescript
-import { createRootCtx, createAutoCtx,  } from 'react-state-custom';
-
-interface UserState {
-  user: User | null;
-  loading: boolean;
-  error: string | null;
+// Header.tsx - Only re-renders when user changes
+function Header() {
+  const ctx = useAuthState();
+  const { user, logout } = useQuickSubscribe(ctx);
+  
+  return (
+    <header>
+      {user ? (
+        <>
+          <span>Welcome, {user.name}</span>
+          <button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
+        </>
+      ) : (
+        <Link to="/login">Login</Link>
+      )}
+    </header>
+  );
 }
 
-// Create a state hook
-function useUserState(props: { userId: string }) {
-  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);
-  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
-  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);
+// ProtectedRoute.tsx - Only re-renders when loading or user changes
+function ProtectedRoute({ children }) {
+  const ctx = useAuthState();
+  const { user, loading } = useDataSubscribeMultiple(ctx, 'user', 'loading');
   
-  useEffect(() => {
-    fetchUser(props.userId).then(setUser).catch(setError).finally(() => setLoading(false));
-  }, [props.userId]);
+  if (loading) return <Spinner />;
+  if (!user) return <Navigate to="/login" />;
   
-  return { user, loading, error };
+  return children;
 }
+```
+
+**Compare with Redux:**
+```typescript
+// Redux requires: action types, action creators, reducers, thunks/sagas
+// React State Custom: just write a hook! ✨
+```
+
+## 📚 Core Concepts
 
-// Register State hook
-const { useCtxState: useUserCtxState } = createAutoCtx(createRootCtx(
-  'user-state',
-  useUserState
-));
+### 1. **Context** - Event-driven state container
+```typescript
+const ctx = useDataContext<MyState>('my-state');
+```
+
+### 2. **Data Source** - Publish values to context
+```typescript
+useDataSource(ctx, 'count', count);
+```
 
-export { useUserCtxState }
+### 3. **Data Subscription** - Subscribe to specific values
+```typescript
+const count = useDataSubscribe(ctx, 'count');
+const { count, name } = useDataSubscribeMultiple(ctx, 'count', 'name');
+```
 
+### 4. **Root Context** - Lifecycle-managed context
+```typescript
+const { Root, useCtxState } = createRootCtx('my-state', useMyState);
 ```
 
-file UserProfile.tsx
+### 5. **Auto Context** - Automatic instance management
 ```typescript
-import { useDataSubscribeMultiple, useQuickSubscribe } from 'react-state-custom';
-import { useUserCtxState } from "./userState.ts"
+const { useCtxState } = createAutoCtx(rootContext);
+```
 
-// Consumer component using useDataSubscribeMultiple
-function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
-  const ctx = useUserCtxState({ userId });
-  const { user, loading, error } = useDataSubscribeMultiple(ctx, 'user', 'loading', 'error');
-  
-  if (loading) return <div>Loading user...</div>;
-  if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
-  
-  return <div>Welcome, {user?.name}!</div>;
+## 🚀 Advanced Features
+
+### Parameterized Contexts
+Create multiple instances of the same state with different parameters:
+
+```typescript
+function useUserState({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
+  // State logic here
 }
 
-// Or using useQuickSubscribe  for Simplified Access
+const { useCtxState: useUserState } = createAutoCtx(
+  createRootCtx('user', useUserState)
+);
 
-function UserProfileV2({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
-  const ctx = useUserCtxState({ userId });
-  const { user, loading, error } = useQuickSubscribe(ctx);
-  
-  if (loading) return <div>Loading user...</div>;
-  if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
-  
-  return <div>Welcome, {user?.name}!</div>;
+// Different instances for different users
+function UserProfile({ userId }) {
+  const ctx = useUserState({ userId }); // Automatic instance per userId
+  const { user } = useQuickSubscribe(ctx);
+  return <div>{user?.name}</div>;
 }
 ```
 
+### Debounced Subscriptions
+Optimize performance for frequently changing values:
+
+```typescript
+// Re-render at most once per 300ms
+const searchQuery = useDataSubscribe(ctx, 'searchQuery', 300);
+```
+
+### Transformed Subscriptions
+Transform data before using it:
+
+```typescript
+const userStats = useDataSubscribeWithTransform(
+  ctx,
+  'user',
+  (user) => ({
+    fullName: `${user?.firstName} ${user?.lastName}`,
+    isAdmin: user?.role === 'admin'
+  })
+);
+```
