PULL

VS

PUSH

pull vs push

Redux store API:

  • store.dispatch(action)
  • store.getState() - pull-based
  • store.subscribe(listener) - push-based

TELL, DON'T ASK
(OOP PRINCIPLE)

getState()
dispatch()
subscribe()

🤨

PRINCIPLE

PUB-SUB

REACT

REACTIVE

VIEW

UPDATES

const Employee = ({ employee }) => (<div>
  <span>{ employee.firstName }</span>
  <span>{ employee.lastName }</span>
  <span>{ employee.age}</span>
</div>)
class SomeService extends React.Component {
  performSomeLogic(){
    // including state mgmt, webservices, session 
  }

  render(){ // should have NO view
    return this.props.render(this.state)
  }
}



const Page = () => <div>
  <SomeService render={svcState =>
    <>
      <h1>{ svcState.header }</h1>
      <p>{ svcState.content }</p>
    </>
  }></SomeService>
</div>

let rate = 3.94;
let amount = 1000;
let exchange = amount / rate; // 253.80

rate = 3.97;
exchange // DESYNC, sync manually!
let rate$ = 3.94;
let amount$ = 1000;
let exchange$ = amount$ / rate$; // 253.80

rate$ = 3.97;
exchange$ // 251.89

slightly simplified

let rate$ = fromEvent(...) // WebSocket, 3.94 
let amount$ = fromEvent(...) // input, 1000
let exchange$ = combineLatest(amount$, rate$,
    (amount, rate) => amount / rate)
// AUTO -> 253.80

rate$ // external -> 3.97
exchange$ // AUTO -> 251.89

WHAT A VARIABLE IS

WHAT'S NEXT?

  • no Virtual DOM

  • true reactivity

<script>
  const price = 9.99
  let quantity = 0;
  $: totalPrice = quantity * price;

  function handleClick() {
    quantity += 1;
  }
</script>
