ReactiveConf

We'll be showing a small and self-contained data provider library - using higher-order React components and Redux on client side, and requiring zero changes to you backend. We'll also keep our components from worrying about how and when the fetching happens - defining instead only what data is required, while abstracting all of the race-conditions and caching via a single HOC, handling the hard parts.

Many battles have been fought over what is the best way to do state management. A gazillion of strategies and libraries are out there. So,.. it is time to take one step back. Why is state management relevant in the first place? What problems does it solve? For example, many debates are about mutability or immutability. But then Michel proposed that the more fundamental question to ask is: identities or values? With these concepts in mind, Michel took a look at several libraries and frameworks and recognize the patterns.
