Jotai's state resides in React, but sometimes it would be niceto interact with the world outside React.
## createStore
[`createStore`](../core/store.mdx#createstore) provides a store interface that can be used to store your atoms. Using the store, you can access and mutate the state of your stored atoms from outside React.
```jsximport { atom, useAtomValue, createStore, Provider } from 'jotai'
const timeAtom = atom(0)const store = createStore()
store.set(timeAtom, (prev) => prev + 1) // Update atom's valuestore.get(timeAtom) // Read atom's value
function Component() {  const time = useAtomValue(timeAtom) // Inside React  return (    <div className="App">      <h1>{time}</h1>    </div>  )}
export default function App() {  return (    <Provider store={store}>      <Component />    </Provider>  )}```
