mobx-state-tree

In this course, we will create a complete React Application with the state management handled by MobX State Tree, a state container system that is built on MobX, a functional reactive state library.

MobX State Tree will give your application a solid structure and foundation for large-scale applications and for small applications that are expected to scale rapidly. In comparison to Redux, MobX State Tree outstands it in performance with much less boilerplate. MobX is one of the most popular Redux alternatives and it's used by companies all over the world, including Netflix, Grow, IBM, DAZN, Baidu, and more.

During this course, you'll learn:

* Types in MobX State Tree.
* How to create the architecture of a centralized store.
* How to mutate the state via actions that could be asynchronous or not, depending on if we need to perform network requests to persist data into a database via GraphQL.
* Understanding snapshots and how we can benefit from them to time-travel if a network request fails.
* Understanding how MobX State Tree makes use of observable properties and observers.
* Leveraging re-renders in your React Application to MobX observers for better performance optimizations.

By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills that it takes to build a real-world, production-level React Application with a State Management with top-notch performance that can scale with ease.

In this course, we'll show you how to build a React App with MobX State Tree.

# React and MobX State Tree

React and MobX State Tree are a perfectly fine combination and they both work like a charm together. The recommended way to share your models accross your application is via `React.createContext` and we will expand on this in a further lesson and make use of a custom React hook to consume our stores from within the components.

One thing to have in mind when passing models into components is to **not** use the spread syntax. For instance, this is discouraged: `<MyComponent {...myStore} />`. This is due to the fact that JavaScript getters; something used for observability and reactivity, are invoked immediately after the use of the spread operator and therefore, you would end up with plain values instead of observed and reactive values.
