FWIW, Redux has never been pitched as "an effort to make React more opinionated". It's always been about trying to make state management more predictable. See my post "The Tao of Redux, Part 1: Implementation and Intent&

From my perspective, the sequence was: - From 2008-2014, _everyone_ was writing their own "class-like" abstractions (see: Backbone, Class.js, five million other "inheritance" libs). So, the React team wrote `createClass`

Highly recommend Docusaurus, published to Netlify. We use it for the Redux family of libraries (Redux, React-Redux, Redux Toolkit), and have been very happy with it.

Strictly speaking, nothing says a reducer even _has_ to have a switch statement. A reducer can use _any_ conditional logic it wants inside: `if`, `for`, `while`, lookup tables, etc. It's just that the most obvious conditional construct

I'm still using FF68 on Android. At the moment, I've got three extensions installed, on a new profile: uBlock Origin, Stylerific, and Display Anchors. Granted, the latter two are for niche use cases. But, the point is they exist,

Because the new version was pushed out without warning, wiped out the ability to use all but a handful of extensions, and made drastic changes to the UI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24269168

Honestly, the only alert I have is a Tweetdeck search for hashtag `#redux`. Other than that, I just spend too much time on social media :)

I know I'm feeding a troll here, so last response. I've looked at hundreds of other codebases, ranging from beginner apps to complex enterprise-level apps. I've talked to thousands of people who are using Redux in many, _man

Two, because I've spent the last 9+ years of my career working on the same couple apps :) But both were pretty complex - true SPAs, no routing, lots of complex client-side state manipulation going on. In fact, the first one is actually

FWIW, my current estimates are that roughly 50% of all React apps use Redux. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that maybe 1/3 of those Redux-using apps probably aren't really benefiting from Redux (things like using it _ju

Or, with `createSlice`, you get the action creators for free with your reducers: const todosSlice = createSlice({ name: 'todos', initialState: [], reducers: { addTodo(state, action) { cons

I'll have to disagree with that, on multiple levels. Thunks are simply an approach for writing reusable async logic that has access to `dispatch` and `getState`, without being tied to a specific store [0]. While I do think more people

I certainly get where you're coming from, and agree that all of the questions you listed are things we didn't express opinions on previously and had to decide for yourself. Still, the bulk of the concerns I've seen over time

`symbol-observable` is just a polyfill lib for `Symbol.observable()`. Worst case, we copy-paste the 2 lines of code directly into our codebase just to remove that dependency. The Redux store will still implement the observable contract.

Yeah, Dan's pointed out a number of times that even with FP and immutability, _local_ mutation is fine. After all, the mechanism for immutable updates is to make copies of the original data, and then mutate / overwrite pieces of t

Which is why the current JSX syntax uses that as a synonym for `disabled={true}`. Agreed that it matches HTML better, but having written an awful lot of `someLongVariableName={someLongVariableName}`, I sure wish I could stop repeating myse

Trust me, I'm well aware of both of those facts :) Doesn't mean the syntax _can't_ change . After all, the `<>` shorthand syntax for fragments was added via cooperation with the Babel and TypeScript teams, and the work

I'd still _loooove_ to have "prop punning", ie, shorthand passing of props based on local variable names equivalent to ES6 object literal shorthand: <MyList items selectedItem onItemClicked /> Doesn't

Thanks! Quick summary: Immer is an incredibly useful immutable update library, created by Michel Weststrate (author of MobX). It exports a single function `produce(originalState, updateCallback)`. The callback receives a `draftState` value

`redux@^4` currently has two dependencies: `symbol-observable` for compat with observable libs, and `loose-envify` for compat with Browserify. I plan on removing both of those when we release Redux v5. Our official Redux Toolkit package [0]

Last time I checked, it's a direct competitor / reimplementation of Babel in Rust.

Two immediate potential benefits: - Only one tool to configure, instead of many - Many tools revolve around parsing your code and generating an AST, then manipulating / processing that AST (Prettier, ESLint, Babel, TS, Webpack, ....).

RTK doesn't change anything about how you write reducers and actions that need to interact across slices. Our recommendations have always been the same: reorganize slice reducers so they handle more state, put more data in actions, or
