### cell.sample() - Non-Reactive Reads Use `.sample()` to read a cell's value **without creating a reactive dependency**: ```typescript // In a computed() - normally .get() would cause re-runs when the cell changes const result = computed(() => { const currentUser = userCell.get(); // Creates dependency - result re-runs when userCell changes const initialValue = configCell.sample(); // NO dependency - result won't re-run when configCell changes return doSomething(currentUser, initialValue); }); ``` **When to use `.sample()`:** - Reading configuration or initial values that shouldn't trigger updates - Breaking intentional reactive loops - Performance optimization when you want a "snapshot" of a value **Caution:** Overusing `.sample()` can lead to stale data. Only use it when you specifically want to avoid reactivity.
