MobX Best Practices for React Developers

Modern React applications demand efficient state management, and MobX stands out as a powerful solution. Let’s explore best practices that will help you write cleaner, more maintainable React applications with MobX.

Understanding MobX Core Concepts

Before diving into best practices, it’s crucial to grasp MobX’s fundamental principles. MobX revolves around three main concepts: observable state, actions, and reactions. Think of your application state as a spreadsheet where changes automatically propagate through your app.

Best Practices for Store Organization

1. Keep Stores Focused and Modular

Instead of creating one massive store, break down your application state into domain-specific stores. For example:

userStore.js
class UserStore {
@observable users = [];
@observable currentUser = null;
@action
setCurrentUser(user) {
this.currentUser = user;
}
}
// productStore.js
class ProductStore {
@observable products = [];
@observable selectedProduct = null;
}

2. Use Computed Values Effectively

Leverage computed values for derived state. They’re automatically cached and only recalculate when their dependencies change:

class OrderStore {
@observable orders = [];
@computed
get totalRevenue() {
return this.orders.reduce((sum, order) => sum + order.amount, 0);
}
}

3. Implement Actions for State Modifications

Always use actions to modify state. This ensures proper tracking and helps with debugging:

class TodoStore {
@observable todos = [];
@action
addTodo(text) {
this.todos.push({
id: Date.now(),
text,
completed: false
});
}
@action
toggleTodo(id) {
const todo = this.todos.find(t => t.id === id);
if (todo) {
todo.completed = !todo.completed;
}
}
}

Performance Optimization Tips

  1. Use observer Only When Necessary
  2. Implement reaction for Side Effects
  3. Utilize runInAction for Async Operations
  4. Structure Components to Minimize Re-renders
// Good Example
@observer
class TodoList extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
{this.props.todoStore.filteredTodos.map(todo => (
<TodoItem key={todo.id} todo={todo} />
))}
</div>
);
}
}

Advanced Patterns

  1. Use Root Store Pattern for Complex Applications
  2. Implement Dependency Injection
  3. Leverage MobX-Utils for Common Patterns
  4. Handle Async Operations Properly

Remember to keep your stores clean, actions explicit, and components focused. This leads to maintainable and scalable applications.
