Question 1

How does Exome compare to Redux or Zustand?

Accepted Answer

Exome uses a class-based API with mutable state in actions, unlike Redux's immutable reducers or Zustand's hook-based approach. It's lighter at 1KB and integrates with Redux DevTools, but requires a shift to OOP patterns for state management.

Question 2

How to handle async actions in Exome?

Accepted Answer

Exome supports async methods as actions. The README shows that methods can be asynchronous, and updates trigger after the action completes, allowing side effects like API calls within actions without extra setup.

Question 3

Can Exome work with server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Exome is framework agnostic and can be used in SSR contexts. However, you need to handle state hydration manually using the 'saveState' and 'loadState' functions, as there's no built-in SSR-specific integration.

Question 4

How to persist and reload state in Exome?

Accepted Answer

Use 'saveState' to serialize state to a string and 'loadState' to restore it. First, register classes with 'registerLoadable' to ensure proper deserialization, as detailed in the API section of the README.

Question 5

Is Exome suitable for large teams with strict linting?

Accepted Answer

Exome's class-based API can enforce structure, but without TypeScript, missing runtime checks might cause issues. Large teams should adopt TypeScript for type safety and establish conventions to avoid mutation outside actions.

Question 6

How to debug Exome state changes effectively?

Accepted Answer

Integrate Redux DevTools via the 'exomeReduxDevtools' middleware to monitor actions, state changes, and use time-travel debugging. The README provides a code snippet for setup in the Redux devtools section.
