Asking some questions about immutable-js #1

Open tiye opened 9 years ago

Hi, I was looking for demos of using immutable-js in realworld projects and I found this. Quite amazing. I searched a lot on the Web but your code is currently the only good result I got. Could you give some advices on using immutable-js, and where can I found more examples when I want to use immutable-js in React?

Currently I'm working on a React based project (https://talk.ai/site/en/ , @teambition.) and want to learn more about scaling Flux in large scale Web apps.

Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. This project obviously isn't complete or even really functional yet, and it's my first stab at figuring out how a nontrivial flux app might look.

Haven't seen any other examples really, but I'm using Immutable because I think immutable collections complement the data flow in Flux really well. Right now it's barely implemented, but my plan is to use cursors more or less like described in http://open.bekk.no/easier-reasoning-with-unidirectional-dataflow-and-immutable-data. Should be pretty cool and also make the render process really efficient.

Would love to check out your progress as you work on your app-- Flux is pretty young so its great to see people thinking through new ways to use it.

Cheers!
