Serialization and cancellable effects

[bergkvist]

There are some really nice things about Redux that I'd love to see how Effector matches

In Redux, you can persist and later reload the entire state of the application:

1. Serialize the entire store as JSON (this is very easy when you only have a single store)
2. Persist the JSON-string with localStorage
3. Later reload localStorage - and have your application look exactly like it did earlier

Actions (in Redux) can be serialized/sent between different clients

This can be really useful when designing real-time applications. One client could broadcast an action to all the other clients.

Complex side-effect logic with redux-saga or rxjs for redux

Redux has extension libraries that allow for doing things like cancelling async functions to avoid race conditions.

How does effector match up on these points?

1. For localStorage there are at least two libraries to work with:
   https://www.npmjs.com/package/effector-persist
   https://github.com/yumauri/effector-storage
   or you could link store with LS via watchers like
   $someStore.watch((actualValue) => localStorage.setItem('myTestKey', actualValue)
2. Also effector provides you domains(essential thing for testing and SSR/SSG) - namespaces, in other words you could create every application store under that domain and later on serialize it or hydrate
3. Side-effects are managed via effects, example with cancelation

Cancelable effects can also be created using this lib:
