reselect VS ava

- Throws better errors in an RSC environment

- https://github.com/reduxjs/react-redux/releases/tag/v9.0.0

## Reselect 5.0:

- Switches to a new `weakMapMemoize` memoizer as default

- Renames `defaultMemoize` to `lruMemoize`

- Allows passing memoizer options direct to `createSelector`

- Many TS improvements

- https://github.com/reduxjs/reselect/releases/tag/v5.0.1

## Redux Thunk 3.0:

- Drops the default export and switches to named exports ( `{thunk, withExtraArgument}` )

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-thunk/releases/tag/v3.1.0

This has been a _huge_ year-long development effort!

We're thrilled to get these improvements out. The tooling and bundle improvements will help all users, and we think the features and TS changes will improve the Redux dev experience significantly.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has contributed or helped test out the work!

Please file bug reports for the inevitable issues that pop up post-release!

but now I'm going off on a conf trip and going to take a very well-earned break from Redux work for December :)

reselect -> For making faster queries to store.

Reselect solves this problem by memorizing the values and only passing what’s necessary.

In addition, diagnosing bugs in how data flowed through the application (where data originated from, how it was changed, etc.) was always super painful because I had to backtrack through selectors referencing selectors referencing selectors. And updating high-level selectors risked breaking something else down the line (even with 100% business logic coverage this was a problem). (This may be chalked up to improper usage of reselect, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Is this a common problem?)

reselect : Selector library to optimize your store access

Reselect documentation:

Applying memoization to TypeScript and ReactJS is relatively straightforward. There are several libraries available that provide memoization functionality, such as memoize function from Lodash, reselect or hooks from ReactJS. These libraries can be installed using NPM or Yarn and used in your TypeScript and ReactJS projects.

Generally, all you would need is to have your redux store provider at the very top level of your application (You could also only wrap the components that you want to have this data available to). Then, any component rendered inside that provider can get access to the redux store. The suggested approach ever since hooks were released is to use `useSelector` and `useDispatch` within your component to get the state data that you need. Using a selector library like Reselect is prevalent and keeps your data selection tidy & handles memoization for you.

Reselect is a library for creating memoized “selector” functions. Commonly used with Redux, to slice state and provide just the necessary subtree to a React component.

We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

> In the popular jest test runner, each test file is executed in its own child process.

Is that confirmed?

I've been following this issue:

https://github.com/jestjs/jest/issues/6957

And what Jest actually does is still kind of muddy.

In contrast to that, other test runners like AVA have a clear description what happens when:

https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/main/docs/01-writing-tests...

I've been looking at using japa or ava for web server testing but was curious what others were using and why.

Continued work on the test suite. Implementing AVA, with snapshotting. Making a lot of effort to have the snapshot directory structure match the test262 test directory structure by generating AVA test files.

You might want to give ava a spin:

https://github.com/avajs/ava/

It has a TAP reporter, but more importantly, as opposed to the more popular solutions, like Jest, the way it achieves parallelism is explained in the docs and won't change anytime soon, thus preventing wonky, hard to debug errors which occur when this part is abstracted away.

I switched to ava for that reason and have been very happy with it. But vitest looks nice, too. Thanks for the pointer.

Runs unit tests using AVA.

Last but not least important are ava, uvu and tape; they are a really light and fast test runners.

I've had some good experiences with Ava + Sinon. I've personally disliked Jest because it seemed to do some weird trickery in the background that prevented me from using ES modules.

Ava for a simpler environment than Jest, which I usually use. I need to check how to mock ESM with it, though.
