Event-driven state approach praised as simple and workable for small apps

So far eventemitter has resulted only in simplicity and no race conditions. Perhaps that's because it's a small application.

Useful review tips on typed emitters and React context
From 1 comment
The EventEmitter pattern seems interesting! I can't say I've wrapped my head around it enough to weigh the benefits and drawbacks. I would point out a few things after a quick…

Event emitter state coordination can cause race conditions and lost state as UI grows
From 2 comments
The issue with using eventemitter for state coordination is that when the UI grows into complexity you run into race conditions where some component isn't showing the right data…
lf-non on HNIt seems (OP correct me if I'm wrong) that it uses actual browser events, which are asynchronous (where normally Redux messages are sent and reacted-to synchronously). This…

From 1 comment
Reading your about your style, I can't help but wonder what's the point of using react. You clearly don't like it (and neither do I). Is it purely because nobody seems to care…

lf-non on HNHave you ever used mobx?
leetrout on HNSeconding MobX; it elegantly solves most of the issues with events (both maintainability and performance) while also being more ergonomic/concise. I can't praise it enough.

beebeepka on HNVue supports observables. So you can have observables that shared across components (for simple use cases). For more involved scenarios, it is possible to libraries like Vuex…

Svelte

Funny, I came here to insist that you guys try Svelte. They took the best parts of Vue and React, made them so much better, and baked reactivity and state management into…
