@ic-reactor/react
@ic-reactor/react is the recommended package for React applications. It
re-exports the runtime classes from @ic-reactor/core and
adds hook factories, auth hooks, direct reactor hooks, and reusable query
factories designed around TanStack Query.
Why Use This Package
Section titled “Why Use This Package”- You want idiomatic React hooks for queries, mutations, suspense, and auth.
- You want
ClientManager,Reactor, andDisplayReactorfrom one package. - You want to keep your app code focused on components instead of manual query wiring.
Installation
Section titled “Installation”pnpm add @ic-reactor/react @tanstack/react-query @icp-sdk/core
# Optional: Internet Identity supportpnpm add @icp-sdk/authWhat’s Included
Section titled “What’s Included” React Setup Complete app wiring with QueryClientProvider, ClientManager, and a Reactor instance.
createActorHooks Generate typed canister hooks from a bound reactor instance.

Reactor Hooks Direct hooks that accept a reactor instance explicitly.
Factory Functions Reusable query and mutation factories for shared data access patterns.
Quick Start
Section titled “Quick Start”import { ClientManager, Reactor, createActorHooks } from "@ic-reactor/react"import { QueryClient } from "@tanstack/react-query"import { idlFactory, type _SERVICE } from "./declarations/backend"
const queryClient = new QueryClient()const clientManager = new ClientManager({ queryClient, withCanisterEnv: true })
const backend = new Reactor<_SERVICE>({ clientManager, idlFactory, name: "backend",})
export const { useActorQuery, useActorMutation } = createActorHooks(backend)See Also
Section titled “See Also”- Queries — Standard query patterns
- Mutations — Update and invalidation patterns
- Query Caching — Cache behavior and invalidation
- @ic-reactor/core — Runtime layer re-exported by this package
