re-frame-async-flow-fx

I think one thing re-frame does well is cascading events. One event might trigger other events, etc. There is also a library for orchestrating re-frame events: https://github.com/day8/re-frame-async-flow-fx I think using re-frame rather than just building event loops yourself with channels and atoms give you some advantage in terms of existing libraries and utilities.

It's an answer to the question of "how do I manage state in SPA?" It is similar to redux, but: * waaay less boilerplate * very neat concept of "reactive subscriptions network", which is a way to minimize re-renderings. Let's say you have keys "items", "sortOrder" and "mouseX" in your storage; how do you avoid rerendering your components each time user moves their pointer? Moreover, let's say you have a list of "items" that is sorted in "sortOrder". How do you avoid re-sorting? Re-frame allows you to skip updates entirely, neatly minimizing change propagation and avoiding React re-rendering in most cases. * there is a sane story around complex async processing, namely [1]. It's similar in purpose to redux-saga, but simpler, more explicit, debuggable and compatible with time-travel and everything. [1]: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-async
