Bringing back reactivity in "reactive" frontend
#1about 2 minutes
Defining the core principle of reactive programming
Reactive libraries exist primarily to reduce the number of possible invalid states within a system.
#2about 4 minutes
Using derived state to eliminate invalid states
A lamp example demonstrates how derived state reduces four possible states, including two invalid ones, down to two valid states.
#3about 2 minutes
How popular JavaScript libraries implement reactivity
Frameworks like React, Vue, RxJS, and Solid all provide primitives for both mutable state and derived state.
#4about 1 minute
Tip 1: Transform imperative updates into derived state
Refactor imperative UI updates, such as setting a title, to be a derived state based on the application's core data.
#5about 4 minutes
Tip 2: Decouple state by keeping items independent
Avoid using multiple boolean flags for related UI visibility, as this creates coupled state and potential invalid combinations.
#6about 3 minutes
Tip 3: Place state in the component hierarchy
Decide whether to use global state for coupled features or local state for isolated components to manage complexity effectively.
#7about 8 minutes
A four-step process for refactoring reactive code
Follow a structured process of mapping function calls, reverse-mapping state, and incrementally creating derived state to untangle complex code.
#8about 3 minutes
The benefits of reducing invalid application states
Refactoring to a reactive model with derived state leads to clearer code boundaries, easier conceptualization, and a more predictable application.
