Mobx.dart: MST.dart?

[fzyzcjy]

Hi thanks for the package! I wonder there is a dart version for the MST mobx state tree package?

[pavanpodila]

Not yet. What specific features are you looking for?

[fzyzcjy]

@pavanpodila I like the "automatically get the object from the id" very much

[pavanpodila]

Related to #115

[fzyzcjy]

@pavanpodila Maybe not? That one is about snapshots and time travel...

[pavanpodila]

I linked it because in principle its about bringing in some MST functionality

[fzyzcjy]

Ah reasonable :) So is there any plan of implementing this? Or what should I do?

[pavanpodila]

No plans right now. We want to tackle the spy functionality first

[fzyzcjy]

Ah OK, so any ideas on how to implement this? If I do that, will my PR be accepted?

A good first step is to pore over the MST code and see how they have implemented it. Some of that code is about building a runtime Type System, which is then used during creation of patches and also doing consistency checks.

Also feel free to engage in conversation with the MST authors: Michel Weststrate, Javier Gonzalez, Mattia Manzati and others. These guys will give you authoritative answers. In fact, when I first started working on the port, I spent time with Michel on Hangouts to understand some of the gnarly pieces :-)

Once you have your initial PR, we will review with some other folks and eventually merge :-). So go for it!

[fzyzcjy]

OK I will try that once I have time! Thanks!

Subscribing for PR. Nested data structure is what I really like about MST.

[pavanpodila]

I think it would be good to pick and list out the high priority pieces. So far we have:

• [ ] Nested objects
• [ ] Lookup objects from id
• [ ] Patches and snapshots
• [ ] Runtime consistency checks
