mobx-state-tree VS Tailwind CSS

Basic knowledge of Tailwind CSS and MobX-State-Tree

Folks disagreed with my comment yesterday criticizing Redux as an architecture, but this sort of illustrates my point. I'd suggest taking a look at Mobx State Tree, which automatically re-renders components only when they depend on the specific part of the state that changed. Other fields can change without triggering unnecessary re-renders, and developers don't have to worry about manually splitting the state to deal with performance problems.

Benefits of it over mobx is data normalization with references and JSON patches which allow you sync complex state easily. Typed models are also a plus.

Drawbacks are performance (see https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx-state-tree/issues/1267).

Previously was using immer, which I loved because of immutability but moved off since classes and OOP didn't feel as natural as in mst.

If I were to pick an alternative, might try redux with normalization https://redux.js.org/usage/structuring-reducers/normalizing-....

And if I were to build a state management tool, I would prioritize a library that has

MobX - or even MobX-state-tree if you prefer

As for state imba doesn't impose any paradigm on you - you are free to bring your own state managment. So you could use a library like mobx-state-tree.

We have covered almost all required topics from MobeX-State-Tree. MobeX provided few sample example, download ToDoMVC - app using React and MST and Bookshop - app with references, identifiers, routing, testing etc.

MobX-State-Tree -> MobX is a state management "engine", and MobX-State-Tree gives it structure and common tools you need for your app.

Recoil is cool, I would also recommend mobx-state-tree which is not much more complex to use and gives you nice type safety and reactivity. You can easily get a snapshot of the whole store and restore from it.

Lastly, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center, and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.

Tailwind CSS

Sidekiq is already configured along with assets, tailwindsCSS.

Finally, for our front end, we’re going to be pairing Next.js with the great combination of TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui so we can focus on building the functionality of the app and let them handle making it look awesome!

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs.

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

Tailwind CSS

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.
