Why Unstated? #90

Open mbrahimi02 opened 4 years ago

mbrahimi02 commented 4 years ago

I'm just failing to understand why use unstated. The implementation looking at the source doesn't seem to do anything to add to the existing context API, no memoized selectors, no atomic API. So why is unstated so popular and what does it add?

I agree. This library is just a wrapper around the React context api which doesn't add any new functionality.

I like these three state management libraries better: Zustand, Valtio and Jotai.

I looked into one of these libraries, Zustand, and the setup for Next.js is HUGE

Agreed. Use React Context; it has almost the exact same API as unstated-next. I guess unstated-next only exists because unstated existed, and maybe they look somewhat alike 🤷🏿
