On: Angular 2 First App Post-Mortem

[cheez]

Uh... I'm relatively new to JS but why the heck are you mixing Redux and angular?

[bgnm2000 → cheez]

Redux can be used in any javascript app. Its a pattern, not something stuck to react.

[cheez → bgnm2000]

True, but with redux and angular, now you have two things where state could live.

[nilliams → cheez]

You have 2 possibilities yes, but afaict Angular 2 doesn't push you to use 'its way', unlike the early days of Angular 1 where 'the way' to do state was $scope.

So I could see how you could comfortably use Angular 2 with Redux as long as your team was on-board to always do state the Redux way.

Give a developer an inch and they'll take the football field. Maybe that's an acceptable risk, but I wouldn't take that risk.

Nitpicking: Flux is a pattern, Redux is a library (which implements something similar, but not exactly the Flux pattern).
