Show HN: Federal – A minimalistic centralized React store

I agree that Redux is a horrible pain.<p>A week ago I started searching for a simple yet powerful solution for the state problem in React. After trying 3 libraries (Baobab, Cerebral and react-cursor) and discarding without trying a bunch more (Derivable, partial-lenses, Cycle and others), I ended up writing the app in Elm (still doing it).<p>Federal seems like a better Redux, but still too complected[0]. Ideally, I would want something like Baobab (a central store with cursors&#x2F;lenses and event emitters), but with immutable data structures (not Object.freeze) and without the bugs. Since this ideal will never come (and I won&#x27;t write it myself) I&#x27;ll probably use Federal for my next app that could not be written in Elm.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.infoq.com&#x2F;presentations&#x2F;Simple-Made-Easy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.infoq.com&#x2F;presentations&#x2F;Simple-Made-Easy</a>

I like the idea. I always wanted something of a &quot;lightweight Redux&quot; (admittedly, I never looked very hard).<p>I&#x27;ll give this a try soon. Thanks for putting in the time.<p>Any attempts at implementing it with TypeScript? Also would love some examples in `class`-y components.
