Are you building a complex system, just to simplify data flow?

Audience

Any developer who has worked with/looking to work with the Flux pattern.

Takeaways

1. Understand the different patterns in Flux, and how popular data flow libraries implement it.
2. Think about balancing
   a) A streamlined data flow
   b) Complexity of data flow architecture

Outline

We’ll discuss the core Flux concepts:

1. Dispatcher
2. Action
3. Store
4. State change
5. Side effects

and how they’re implemented in 5 popular data flow libraries:

1. Reflux
2. Redux
3. RxJS
4. MobX
5. react-refetch

and compare the libraries in terms of:

1. Additional features
2. Ecosystem
3. System complexity
4. Learning curve

and finally finish off with a sojourn in cargo cult programming and how it impacts system complexity.
