Why the fuck state management is so hard to get my head around? 😠😠😠

It's not hard. Just accept that it's the single truth.

You probably just have bad tools for managing state. Although sometimes the way things are explained is really bad.

Use state design pattern.

Takes a bit, then it clicks and it's so elegant and obvious you'll wonder why you never came up with it yourself. Kinda like calc.

I'm also having a hard time to get into it (using Angular). I fully understand why it's great and I can read it fine, but I haven't managed to write my own state yet. Whenever I give it a try, I'm overwhelmed by everything you have to set up. Actions, Effects, Reducers, I don't even know where to start. Also I haven't found a good example yet, where I could see how complex applications work, with pagination, filtering, sorting, optimizing. Sure, I can pull "Animals" from a "ZooState" or write an over-engineered counter, but this doesn't help me in the real world.

@24th-Dragon I missed ngrx while using angular. Right now I am learning Flutter, thought I would learn state management this time.

@sboesch That giant event/state loop is definitely pretty alien at first. It took me a few days to finally get it. But when you do, it'll just click and suddenly make so much sense. Keep at it!

@Root well, guess what, I like it now :) I have my head around it ♥️

@richangsharma That was fast 😊 Good job!

@Root i donno, may be flutter state management was to mess around :)
