## Providers

### StateProvider

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

### 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";
```

| Export | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `standardComponentDefinitions` | Catalog definitions for all 25+ standard components |
| `standardActionDefinitions` | Catalog definitions for standard actions (setState, navigate) |
| `schema` | React Native element tree schema |
