TinyBase

state

A tiny, dependency-free, reactive data store and synchronization engine for JavaScript applications. It provides granular subscriptions so UIs only re-render when relevant data changes, keeping apps fast and predictable.Data can be modeled as simple key-value pairs or as tabular structures with rows and cells. Built-in capabilities include schemas with defaults and type inference, indexes for fast lookups, metrics for aggregations, relationships between tables, an undo/redo checkpoint system, and a SQL-adjacent query engine (TinyQL) for selecting, joining, filtering, and grouping—reactively.Designed for local-first and offline-first workflows, it offers native CRDT support via MergeableStore to synchronize and deterministically merge data across clients and servers. Persistence is available to browser storage and IndexedDB, as well as databases like SQLite and PostgreSQL, plus integrations with Yjs and Automerge.Optional React bindings include hooks and lightweight UI components for building fully reactive interfaces, along with an in-app Inspector to view and edit store data live during development. Despite its breadth, the core remains small (around 5.3kB–11.7kB gzipped), fully documented, and rigorously tested.
