rfcs VS Recoil

Examples from the conversations of that time:

> ...we want closures to capture the values we rendered with, and to keep "seeing" those values forever. That's really important for concurrent mode where a notion of current value doesn't really exist. Hooks design models a component as being in many non-clashing states at the same time, instead of switching the "current" state (which is what classes model well). People don't really need to think about these details, but they're motivating the design a lot. [0]

> In Concurrent Mode, render may run more then one time, and since this in a class is mutable, renders that should be the same may not be. [1]

There are multiple names for this hook. You can find the documentation under the names useEvent or useEffectEvent.

-https://www.patterns.dev/ -https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/blob/main/text/0188-server-components.md -https://dev.to/this-is-learning/qwik-the-post-modern-framework-3c5o -https://dev.to/this-is-learning/astro-framework-169m -https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/rendering-on-the-web -https://web.dev/vitals/

However, in React, function components can return a ReactNode. This type includes number | string | Iterable | undefined and will likely also include Promise( in the future.

I was also hoping that useEvent would eliminate some weird dependency cases, who knows when that will actually happen (https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/220).

Given a lot of unknowns on SSR and ReactEng working on RSC it feels like the wrong move to use next.js and I should just use normal react. For basic react is create react app the way to go or vite?

As mentioned before, Next.js takes a stance of treating every component as a Server Component by default. If you want to use a Client Component, you'll need to annotate the file with use client; directive at the top of the component file.

Use client is actually a React convention for what it’s worth. https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/227

Atom-based: splits states into tiny pieces of data called atoms, which can be written to and read from using React hooks. In this group, we have Recoil and Jotai.

recoil -> Designed to solve a specific problem. Not good for all use cases. Understand it first! You can learn more about it here.

Recoil Official Website

Recoil 🌀

Atomic libs include Recoil, Jotai, and the one I maintain: Zedux. Zedux especially was designed to work well with sockets and RxJS observables and has been getting some traction recently, so of course I recommend checking it out. Feel free to hmu with any questions.

However you may find better luck with Recoil which is developed by Meta, and is designed to work with Async data, and is a much simpler project to get started with.

Recoil introduced a new pattern for storing state and propagating updates. This atomic model has proven to scale up better than the singleton model at the cost of some hefty learning curves.

recoil is extremely similar to Riverpod but for React (both are backed by a data flow graph).

Before we proceed you can check the project on github. This implementation is for learning purposes, for production use check Jotai or Recoil.
