# Reactivity API: Core
<br/>
## source()
Creates a new source state with the given value.
- ### Type
```lua
function source<T>(value: T): (T?) -> T
```
- ### Details
Calling the returned state with no arguments will return its stored value,
calling with arguments will set a new value.
Reading from the state from within any reactive scope will cause changes
to that state to be tracked and anything depending on it to update.
- ### Example
```lua
local count = source(0)
count() -- 0
count(count() + 1) -- 1
```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## derive()
Derives a new state from existing states.
- ### Type
```lua
function derive<T>(source: () -> T): () -> T
```
- ### Details
The derived state will have its value recalculated when any source state it
derives from is updated.
Anytime its value is recalculated it is also cached, subsequent calls will
retun this cached value until it recalculates again.
Takes a callback that is immediately run to determine what states are being
referenced.
> ⚠️ Non-yielding.
- ### Example
```lua
local count = wrap(0)
local text = derive(function() return `count: {count()}` end)
text() -- "count: 0"
count(1)
text() -- "count: 1"
```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## map()
Maps each value in a table state to a new table state.
- ### Type
```lua
function map<KI, VI, VO>(
source: () -> Map<KI, VI>,
transform: (value: () -> VI, index: KI) -> VO
): Map<KI, VO>
- ### Details
The transform function is called only ever *once* for each index in the
source table. The first argument is a state containing the index's value and
the second argument is just the index.
Anytime a new index is added, the transform function will be called again for
that new index.
Anytime an existing index changes, the transform function is not rerun,
instead the passed state for that index will update, causing anything
depending on it to update too.
Returns a state containing the mapped key-value pairs.
> ⚠️ Non-yielding.
- ### Example
```lua
type Item = {
name: string,
icon: number
}
local items = source {} :: () -> Array<Item>
local displays = map(numbers, function(item, i)
return ItemDisplay {
Name = function()
return item().name
end,
Image = function()
return "rbxassetid://" .. item().icon
end,
LayoutOrder = i
}
end)
```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## watch()
Runs a callback on state change.
- ### Type
```lua
function watch(callback: () -> ()): Unwatch
type Unwatch = () -> ()
```
- ### Details
The callback is ran immediately to determine what states are referenced.
Any time a state referenced in the callback is changed, the callback will be
reran.
Also returns a function that when called, stops the watcher immediately.
> ⚠️ Non yielding.
- ### Example
```lua
local state = wrap(1)
watch(function()
print(state.Value)
end)
-- prints 1
state.Value += 1
-- prints 2
```
