— I like combining Flux with template engines
Flux was for React components, but one can easily replace the component with their own that just uses a template engine under the hood
— Flux is like MVVM
— But an easier to use kind, unidirectional data flow and immutable state
— It also uses state diffing to patch things
— Decides what to re render
— I left Facebook years ago
— Political argument network
— Heh, like I said, I like the old ways
— MVC taught me a valuable lesson: don't use MVC
— I wrote all of them in a very large web app to start... A cooperative file manager like sharepoint, way better than Dropbox. I tried MVP, MVC, MVVM, and then Flux
— In Flux the data store/model is the "controller" and only patches state in response to hard coded actions
