## Providers

### StateProvider

```tsx
<StateProvider initialState={object} onStateChange={fn}>
  {children}
</StateProvider>
```

<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Prop</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td><code>store</code></td><td><code>StateStore</code></td><td>External store (controlled mode). When provided, <code>initialState</code> and <code>onStateChange</code> are ignored.</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>initialState</code></td><td><code>Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;</code></td><td>Initial state model (uncontrolled mode).</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>onStateChange</code></td><td><code>{'(changes: Array<{ path: string; value: unknown }>) => void'}</code></td><td>Callback when state changes (uncontrolled mode). Called once per <code>set</code> or <code>update</code> with all changed entries.</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

#### External Store (Controlled Mode)

Pass a `StateStore` to bypass the internal state and wire json-render to any state management library:

```tsx
import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react-native";

const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });

<StateProvider store={store}>
  {children}
</StateProvider>

// Mutate from anywhere — components re-render automatically:
store.set("/count", 1);
```

The `store` prop is also available on `JSONUIProvider` and `createRenderer`.

### ActionProvider

```tsx
<ActionProvider handlers={Record<string, ActionHandler>}>
  {children}
</ActionProvider>
```

### VisibilityProvider

```tsx
<VisibilityProvider>
  {children}
</VisibilityProvider>
```

Conditions in specs use the `VisibilityCondition` format with `$state` paths (e.g. `{ "$state": "/path" }`, `{ "$state": "/path", "eq": value }`). See [visibility](/docs/visibility) for the full syntax.

### ValidationProvider

```tsx
<ValidationProvider>
  {children}
</ValidationProvider>
```

## defineRegistry

Create a type-safe component registry. Standard components are built-in; only register custom components.

```tsx
import { defineRegistry, type Components } from '@json-render/react-native';

const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
  components: {
    Icon: ({ props }) => <Ionicons name={props.name} size={props.size ?? 24} />,
  } as Components<typeof catalog>,
});
```

## Hooks

### useUIStream

```typescript
const {
  spec,         // Spec | null - current UI state
  isStreaming,  // boolean - true while streaming
  error,        // Error | null
  send,         // (prompt: string) => Promise<void>
  clear,        // () => void - reset spec and error
} = useUIStream({
  api: string,
  onComplete?: (spec: Spec) => void,
  onError?: (error: Error) => void,
});
```

### useStateStore

```typescript
const { state, get, set, update } = useStateStore();
```

### useStateValue

```typescript
const value = useStateValue(path: string);
```

### useStateBinding (deprecated)

> **Deprecated.** Use `useBoundProp` with `$bindState` expressions instead.

```typescript
const [value, setValue] = useStateBinding(path: string);
```

### useActions

```typescript
const { execute } = useActions();
```

### useIsVisible

```typescript
const isVisible = useIsVisible(condition?: VisibilityCondition);
```

## Catalog Exports

```typescript
import { standardComponentDefinitions, standardActionDefinitions } from "@json-render/react-native/catalog";
import { schema } from "@json-render/react-native/schema";
```

<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Export</th><th>Purpose</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td><code>standardComponentDefinitions</code></td><td>Catalog definitions for all 25+ standard components</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>standardActionDefinitions</code></td><td>Catalog definitions for standard actions (setState, navigate)</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>schema</code></td><td>React Native element tree schema</td></tr>
</tbody>
