zedux VS nanostores

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.

This new tool started driving our production apps in early 2021 and has been a lifesaver in the extremes of complexity. 2 years later, we have finally open-sourced this tool as "Zedux".

Zedux is a hybrid tool similar to RTK + RTKQ but with first-class DI support.

For atoms, Jotai or Zedux

Zedux is a new up-and-coming hybrid tool similar to RTK + RTK Query but with atoms

Atomic libraries like Recoil, Jotai, and Zedux specialize in expressing these dependencies clearly, giving you insight into your dependency graph and offering tools like evaluation tracing, time travel, and DI overrides to improve testability and discoverability of your code.

I'd recommend a powerful state management library for something like this, especially one that gives you full control over async flow outside React. Here's a codesandbox using Zedux to demonstrate sending 4 buffered requests per minute.

After Zustand, if you need anything more, I'd either go back to Redux or learn Jotai, an atomic library that's a little more powerful than Zustand. Atoms are a little more advanced, so I wouldn't start there. Though (full disclosure) I am the author of another atomic library that is aiming to make atoms simpler to learn and use. Someday we'll get there, but for now I'd say Zustand is the best place to start.

Source: I'm the creator of Zedux, a lib that we just publicly released a few days ago and drives lots of highly-volatile state like this in our apps. If you need a powerful state manager designed to work at scale with fast-moving state streamed over websockets (SSEs work too), it might be worth looking into. Cheers!

In its docs, Astro recommends nanostores, but I’ve used effector in the past. And LOVED IT. So I’ve used it for this project as well.

Nanostores explanation

vidstack is very light on technical details but starts with a concise intro and a screenshot, as well as relevant links: https://github.com/vidstack/player

payload is well-structured in general: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload

nanostores starts out with an intro and telling code examples, followed by lots of technical details: https://github.com/nanostores/nanostores

Nanostores and Reatom are also great, fast atomic libs

Astro handles multi-framework components (React, Vue, etc) and they recommend using the nanostores library for shared state.

Checkout Nanostore it's what Astro.build recommends for sharing state across different ui libraries.

All of these are valid ways of fixing the state management issue, but it's clear that we need to find a common solution that works for all the UI libraries. This is where nanostores comes into play! The description they provide on their GitHub page is simply perfect:

Jotai and Valtio are both also really good. Recently looked at Nanostore as well and has some similarity to Jotai and Recoil.

Just to chime in on framework agnostic stores, Astro.build recommends using Nano Stores to handle reactivity, as the base library is very small and they have adapters for most relevant frameworks. I definitely agree that avoiding framework lock-in is the smart thing to do.
