  1. This is amazing tutorial.
    Thank you so much!

    Unfortunately, I didn’t get the main point of using MobX in this exact tutorial. I know it is a tutorial about using MobX but I would like to see the benefits of using MobX here, please.

    1. Mobx is a library similar to react’s redux library , while it is not mandatory to use mobx or redux ‘s state management library but when handling and building large scale applications and handling states very specific to individual components that interacts with more other components becomes unmanageable. This blog post / tutorial do layout a wireframe like structure / a scaffold of how state management that will definitely involve api calls, hydrating the stores and using the data in components with appContext which also gives the flexibility of using stores, api without every time having to imports is provided here.

  2. Thank you. I like idea with private store inside other stores!

    Also, to ANJD, I didn’t get the main point of using Redux from your reply, I would like to see the benefits of using Redux here, please.

  3. What bothers me about this project is this process:
    – The view calls posts and comments APIs
    – APIs fill stores
    – The model refers to stores
    – The view gets the model
    Therefore the view handle the logic of domain services. But this is not its role to know that the comments API have to be called to construct the post model.
    So i think a layer – like a Controller or a ViewModel – is missing to separate the presentation to the logic.

  4. Sorry I didn’t get the point that why we need to keep the Context layer? Can’t we just export/import the store and api directly?
