Index

Chapter 1. Introduction to State Management

The heart of your React app lives in the client state (data) and is rendered via React components. Managing this state can become tricky as you tackle user interactions (UI), perform async operations, and handle domain logic. In this chapter, we will start with a conceptual model of state management in UI, the role of side effects, and the flow of data.

Then, we will take a quick tour of MobX and introduce its core concepts. These concepts will help in drawing some comparisons with Redux. You will see that MobX turns out to be a more declarative form of Redux!

The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:

What is the client state?
The side effect model
A speed tour of MobX

Michel Weststrate

Michel Weststrate (Msc) is tech lead and open source evangelist at Mendix. He has been active as both a frontend and backend developer in different stacks. An occasional speaker at software conferences, he has authored video courses on egghead. Intrigued by several (transparent) reactive programming libraries, he researched and worked on making the ReactJS framework more reactive while addressing predictability and maintainability constraints in other solutions. This led to mobservable (nowadays MobX), which was quickly adopted at Mendix. He's very active in the open source software community, and he authored MobX, Immer, and several small libraries, and coauthored MobX-state-tree.
