Clojurians Log v2

heya, I’ve been away from react for a couple years

Hooks had just come out and no-one really knew how to do a global state well especially in a way that would work with concurrent mode

I was wondering if anyone knew what best practice was these days

I love the re-frame kind of approach, but prefer to use a hooks-based / helix system.

it's still a bit of a challenge

and also not really something that has been an issue yet because concurrent mode hasn't landed

the next major version, React 18, does have opt-in concurrent features and there are some changes that global state management libraries will need to make

I've been posting about it here: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C012GLC2SAZ/p1630159314003500

ah interesting

I’d be interested to hear what you’d recommend for a new project starting now

use local state if you can help it 😉

for things that require global state like i.e. navigation, data fetching, use a library

e.g. react-router, react-query

my hopes and dreams are to create a CLJS lib for data fetching soon but just depends on when I have the hours in the day. hoping to get my company to pay me to do it

but I wouldn't wait for me 🙂
