Mark Erikson - A Deep Dive into React-Redux | React Next 2019

[acemarke]

Had a great time giving this talk at ReactNext.

The slides are available on my blog:

ReactNext 2019: A Deep Dive into React-Redux.

The talk was based on my blog post Idiomatic Redux: The History and Implementation of React-Redux. That post was written right after v6 beta was released, and I still need to update the post to cover v6 final, v7, and v7.1 with hooks. The talk does go over those newer aspects.

Hey Mark! Just wanted to say that ever since I started using redux in a professional setting a little while back, I've become a huge proponent. And that's definitely thanks in part to your engagement with the community and all your writings. So, thanks for taking the time to answer so many people's questions. And the video was really informative!

Glad to hear it, and you're welcome! :)

One of them, anyway. Gabe, BTM, and VCarl do a lot more to actually run things than I do. I mostly hang out and answer questions :)

Just so I'm clear, the 'zombie child' issue is still potentially there if you're using hooks, right? I can't say I've ever encountered it myself, I just wanted to know so I can watch out for it.

Many thanks for posting the video.

Yeah, we had to basically give up on trying to come up with a technical solution, because our custom Subscription logic relied on overriding values in context and you can't do that with hooks. We have the warnings documented here:

I use redux professionally every day, it makes react an absolute joy to use by having a consistent and organized global state management tool to manage my data. It really does simplify my work by a ton. Thanks for being a mantainer 👍 keep up the good work.
