redux-xstate-poc VS joystick

Very doable, but not the most ideal syntax, since `createSlice` is focused on "here's an action / thing that happened, here's the reducer that handles that".

On the flip side, you can also use XState state machines as Redux reducers. A state machine is, after all, a function that takes a current state value + some event, and returns a new state.... exactly the same as a reducer function!

David and I have been saying for a while that we'd like to have a more official integration between XState and Redux. A while back, Matt Pocock put together an proof of concept for what a `createXStateSlice` might look like [1]. I actually sat down with David a couple weeks ago and we did some further design discussions about the possibility of using the `@xstate/fsm` package (a smaller version of XState's logic) as a starting point, and generating RTK actions based on that. No code yet, but it seems feasible.

Fun fact: one of the XState devs did a proof-of-concept showing how to use XState state machines as Redux reducers and integrate the side effects handling as a middleware:

We'd like to work together to turn that into a more official integration sometime soon.

One of the XState devs recently posted https://github.com/mattpocock/redux-xstate-poc , an example of how you can integrate XState into a Redux app for use as a Redux slice reducer + side effects middleware

SEEKING WORK, Tennessee, United States

Remote: Yes

I'm a full-stack, JavaScript/Node.js developer and designer. I'm the creator of the Joystick JavaScript framework [1], Push deployment service [2], and Mod CSS framework [3].

I also have experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB (limited but competent) and devops (K8s + Docker and bare-metal linux admin, the latter preferred for simplicity/stability).

Currently looking to take on clients who are open to using Joystick, Push, and Mod to design and develop their app. Because it's still at a pre-release version, I'm willing to work out deals around pricing to get some more test-cases under my belt. Ideal client is a solopreneur w/ funding or entrepreneur with previous experience + funding. Open to working with startups (early or established), but only on greenfield projects where use of Joystick is ok.

There is. I was frustrated by all of the chaos and built a solution [1]. Not too far of from an RC1 and then a 1.0 (which is being done slowly so I can freeze APIs and avoid the typical JS rug pulls).

I've been (slowly) writing a new type of OSS license around this exact concept so it's easier to (legally) stop LLMs hoovering up IP [1] (under "derivative works not permitted").

Joystick [1] will let you go. No Stockholm syndrome. No lotion in the basket.

If you share the sentiment of the author and want to get on the road to recovery, I submit Joystick [1]. I had similar frustrations to this and decided to do something about it [2].
