I've recently tried using Redux for a side-project. While it solves the problem (organizing state), I feel there is too much boilerplate for my small project. Are there any popular alternatives which don't use reducers? EDIT: thanks for all the responses, I'll check them out :)
One underrated thing that I miss from using Redux is the "action trace". You can literally sit down with the stakeholders [1] and explain the exact things that caused a screen to render . And these things are not cryptic function calls with stack-traces, but simple and chronologically ordered sets of human readable "actions" (I like to think of them as events) like UserFetched -> PlanFetched ( ) -> FrozenUser. One ca…

Redux is great, and I'm glad to see all this cleared up, to some extent. Especially the bit about the new context API somehow eliminating the need for Redux. I know some people don't like redux and that's fine - don't use it. But it's still super-useful to many, many people.
Oh hey, that's my post. I first wrote it back in 2018, and just updated it yesterday with some additional links and comparisons. (Actually was considering retitling it after getting some feedback last night, but given that the link just got submitted here, I'll leave it as-is for now.) A few quick notes: - If you haven't looked at Redux in a while, please try out our official Redux Toolkit package [0], which is now o…
Do you, or anyone else in the team or community, have a good resource you would recommend to people complaining about "too much boilerplate" in redux code? It is likely the most common complaint I see, that I understand to come from a place of people not understanding it this a tool best used for scaling and/or already big projects. Whenever I have worked with Redux in a large project, that "boilerplate" is minimal a…
Also the 'reducks' pattern of splitting the Redux state into separate files, each containing a reducer and the related actions and selectors helps keep things simple to understand (although I guess it is a bit more overhead, actually).
