MobX Quick Start Guide: Supercharge the client state in your React apps with MobX

by Pavan Podila, Michel Weststrate

Apply functional Reactive programming for simple and scalable state management with MobX

Key FeaturesThe easiest way to learn MobX to enhance your client-side state-managementUnderstand how the concepts and components fit togetherWork through different state management scenarios with MobXBook DescriptionMobX is a simple and highly scalable state management library in JavaScript. Its abstractions can help you manage state in small to extremely large applications. However, if you are just starting out, it is essential to have a guide that can help you take the first steps. This book aims to be that guide that will equip you with the skills needed to use MobX and effectively handle the state management aspects of your application.

You will first learn about observables, actions, and the core concepts of MobX. To see how MobX really shines and simplifies state management, you'll work through some real-world use cases. Building on these core concepts and use cases, you will learn about advanced MobX, its APIs, and libraries that extend MobX.

By the end of this book, you will not only have a solid conceptual understanding of MobX, but also practical experience. You will gain the confidence to tackle many of the common state management problems in your own projects.

What you will learnExplore the fundamental concepts of MobX, such as observables, actions, and reactionsUse observables to track state and react to its changes with validations and visual feedback (via React Components)Create a MobX observable from different data typesDefine form data as an observable state and tackle sync and async form validationsUse the special APIs to directly manipulate observables, tracking its changes, and discovering the reasons behind a changeTackle any state management issue you may have in your app by combining mobx-utils and mobx-state-treeExplore the internals of the MobX reactive system by diving into its inner workingsWho this book is forThis book is for web developers who want to implement easy and scalable state management for their apps. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is assumed

I don't want to disappoint author but it's really bad coz of:
1. Source code look strange you start local app and see this:

2. Of course you thought that it's your problem and try to fix this, check all devtools errors and other stuff but then you find link into video examples... (you can think that it's plus but alas... it's third minus)
3. YouTube examples it's just 2 minutes videos where author clicked on localhost examples and you now see that source code not broken he just strange, you literally have image (above) with some kind of error but it's not error... Okay i'm tried to check video after that disappointment and next strike happened in 30 sec after previous, video with chapter 3 it's video with chapter 2 examples, video made in 2018 and they don't give a ... about this global mistake in video examples, after that you just don't want to read book coz now you have feeling that it's written with this kind of quality too

I'm don't gonna say about outdated code coz it's really not author fault if book was written in 2017-18 it's normal

Книга застаріла уже. До того ж знайти повну версію виявилось неможливо.

Great book for absolute beginners, but its slightly outdated. I couldn't give it a 3 because it is really amazing and you can workaround the outdated stuff.
