  • re-frame

    A ClojureScript framework for building user interfaces, leveraging React

    • https://github.com/day8/re-frame

    Notably the author of re-frame has been weary of hooks.

    I think that’s for a good reason. The approach in re frame feels like the best way to manage state so far for a react based app. Everything that changes state flows through an event. State can only be observed through subscriptions. Side effects are isolated to their own type of event. Debugging and testing are so straight forward with these concepts.

    Redux got close but it has two problems in my mind. Like hooks, it encapsulates for no good reason. Put the state in one thing that you can observe holistically before and after pure events. It also has too much boiler plate.

    Except this has always been BS.
