Is this possible with Reakit?

stateis the only option you can pass touseCheckboxState. So, yes, it would make sense to pass the value directly as an argument.But, for the sake of consistency, all state hooks in the library behave similarly so you’ll need to learn less things when using other Reakit components. Since objects address all of our use cases, that’s a standard in the library.
Besides that, it’s easier to introduce new features by using objects.
useHiddenState, for example, also had only one option, and we’re able to introduce a newanimatedoption without breaking anything because it uses an object.Thanks for explaining your reasoning on this, it’s really useful 👋
