wp-calypso VS redux-undo

Auttomatic Open Source Docker Open source Those are two i can think of that use those technologies, read the “contribution” part on github. If you search “open source projects” and the technologies you know, you’ll find even more. :)

The WP dashboard can, and has been rewritten in React, see Calypso, but it was rejected by wp.org community at the time (likely for the reasons you mentioned).

> Unless the new Wordpress is written in node, comparing the new “JavaScript” stack with the old “LAMP” stack makes no sense to me. Those technologies do not serve the same purpose.

It's written in JavaScript; it runs on node.js - at least the front-end part of it (https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso). I don't know what is running on the backend but I don't think it's LAMP.

The point I was making though is that "WordPress" can mean two different things - wordpress.org (the self-hosted LAMP version) or wordpress.com, which is a SaaS offering (so the language is more or less irrelevant unless you're really interested in running your own admin frontend, I guess).

worth noting that they're using redux-undo instead of redux-undoable

Here is an example implementation in Redux: https://github.com/omnidan/redux-undo

As for undoing, my personal opinion is that it is never required. After all, undoing an action is really just dispatching a new action with the information to repopulate which you can compute on the fly. An added benefit of this method is your action history is always moving forward, never backwards. That being said, this redux-undo library might help. Note, I have never used it, but it does come back to my point that middleware are usually the solution.

If you wanna get fancy, you could do something like redux undo.
