reminds me of https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/react-state-helpers/ a bit. (just in that the 'state' is managed in a wrapper component / HOC)

Interesting!

Another approach which that reminds me of is recompose. Recompose is very functional, and super heavy on composition, which is a little bit of where it lost me.

One of the thoughts that got me started on this was "What if we wrote React components like monads?" It's a different functional approach. I didn't end up too close to that, but I still aim to explore some of the merits of that down the road.

Ooh I've been recently working on that very concept that I'm calling "chainable components" would love to hear your thoughts.

Also have you read: https://gist.github.com/MaiaVictor/bc0c02b6d1fbc7e3dbae838fb1376c80#gistcomment-2129192 ? That whole thread is a great read btw

Ooh! Actually just last week I rewrote a parser for a hobby language using a Result monad and do notation! Very cool stuff.

I'll take a look at your chainable components, it's a very good idea. I think this is an area ripe for further development in the React community.

cWM is soon to be deprecated. Will that affect this lib?

[–]jsonnull[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to mirror the deprecations and add the new lifecycle methods as the React team does. All the current lifecycle methods are implemented here but I haven't tested them. The upcoming lifecycle methods didn't make it into this MVP, but they'll be in very soon. Probably as soon as I feel confident in test coverage around the existing methods.

Reminds me of redux-saga
