react-devtools VS MobX

React Developer Tools is a browser extension that allows developers to inspect React components and their structure. This tool provides an easy way to debug and troubleshoot React applications. You can download it from its official GitHub repository: https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools.

Developer Experience - There are a number of tools that improves the development experience with React. React Developer Tools is a browser extension that allows you to inspect your component, view and manipulate its props and state. Hot reloading with webpack allows you to view changes to your code in your browser, without you having to refresh the browser. Front end development involves a lot of tweaking code, saving and then refreshing the browser. Hot reloading helps you by eliminating the last step. When there are library updates, Facebook provides codemod scripts to help you migrate your code to the new APIs. This makes the upgrading process relatively pain-free. Kudos to the Facebook team for their dedication in making the development experience with React great.

States can also be organized in some central places (aka. stores). You can use Tini Store (very simple, ~50 lines) or other state management solutions such as MobX, TinyX, ...

Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

MobX

Mutable-based: leverages proxy to create mutable data sources which can be directly written to or reactively read from. Candidates in this group are MobX and Valtio.

Looks good! FWIW I always felt the observable pattern much more intuitive than the redux/reducer style. Something like https://mobx.js.org/

Things get hairy in both, but redux pattern feels so ridiculously ceremonially to effectively manage a huge global state object with a false sense of "purity".

Observables otoh say "fuck it, I'm mutating everything, do what you want with it".

MobX Documentation

There's also others libraries like https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx which aren't specific to RN but can be used in any JS environment.

Valtio is like simplified MobX
