I would like to talk about what I could rarely find in articles covering MobX, about those drawbacks that ruin the impression of use, as well as how to crack this problem. I also need to describe its pros to justify my own choice. So, let’s start.
MobX is a state manager, which now has a new version 6 that works due to Proxy. The further opinion is based on using MobX v6 together with the React library when developing mobile (React Native) and web applications. It is worth clarifying that I used MobX v4, react-easy-state, Redux, Zustand in previous projects, and I’m also familiar with a dozen alternative state managers at the level of reading their documentation. I would also like to note that all the pros and cons listed below aren’t complete and can be detected if compared to other state managers.
