# Recoil Pro
A practical guide to Recoil: Facebook's experimental-but-widely-used atomic state library — atoms, selectors (sync/async), atom families, and effects. Particularly useful for maintaining existing Recoil codebases and understanding its data-flow graph model.
## Overview
Recoil models state as a **data-flow graph**: **atoms** (units of state, identified by unique string keys) and **selectors** (pure functions deriving from atoms/other selectors, cached per dependency set). Components subscribe via hooks and re-render only when their subscribed values change. Async selectors integrate with Suspense. Note: Recoil's development has slowed (maintenance mode); for new projects, Jotai or Zustand are usually better choices — but large production codebases run on Recoil, and its concepts transfer.
## When to use
- Maintaining an existing Recoil codebase.
- Understanding selector-based derived data (concepts apply to Jotai/others).
- Apps needing the data-flow graph mental model (explicit deps, cached derivations).
- Evaluating migration off Recoil (to Jotai/Zustand).
