Whats the best way to store and act with growing array

[ivan-suhorukov]

Hello! Sorry for my stupid question, maybe. I want to store the chat messages. And it is an array of messages. What is the best way to store it? In atom or map or deepMap maybe? And i want to add messages in store while user types them, so whats the best way to do it? setKey or const messages = store.get(); messages.push('hello'); store.set(messages) maybe? Thanks!

I suggest have atom() with chat history and separated atom with typing message draft

something like const messages = atom<ChatMessage[]> ?
Will it cause rerender of the whole messages, everytime I push new message to the atom?
