Akita is a TypeScript library for state management in JavaScript applications. State management refers to a pattern for keeping track of data that changes over time in a web application, such as what a logged-in user has in their cart, which items are loaded from a server, or which view is currently active. Akita was designed to work with Angular, React, Vue, or plain JavaScript. The library is built on top of RxJS, which is a toolkit for working with streams of data that change over time. Akita takes ideas from two earlier patterns: Flux, which uses separate data stores for different parts of an application, and Redux, which requires data to be updated in a controlled, immutable way. Akita combines these with RxJS's observable streams to create what it calls Observable Data Stores. The README states that the library is no longer maintained and advises against using it in new projects. The team behind it has released a newer solution called Elf, which they recommend instead. The README links to the Elf documentation for anyone looking for an actively supported alternative. When it was active, Akita aimed to reduce the amount of repetitive setup code that other state management libraries required, while still providing tools suitable for both small and large applications. A command-line tool, a documentation site, and a sample application were all available to help developers get started. The project was originally developed at Datorama before the repository moved to the Salesforce GitHub organization.
