Proposed API for Explicit Reactive Dependencies in JavaScript

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new proposal introduces a low-level Reactive API with three factory functions: createSource, derive, and deriveDynamic. It provides invalidation sources, lazy cached derivations, and deterministic disposal, but omits writable cells, effects, and scheduling. The API targets developers needing explicit dependency management without framework overhead.

Meridian48 take
This proposal fills a niche for fine-grained reactivity but its minimal scope may limit adoption compared to existing libraries like MobX or Vue's reactivity system.
