Flux Utils
I didn't see a mention of Flux Util's(https://facebook.github.io/flux/docs/flux-utils.html) which seems like one of the least boilerplate implementations of Flux, and provided by facebook.
You allude to this kind of solution in "Using a helper", but dismiss it because "may decide to switch to another Flux provider". That rationale is quite bizarre, I think 99.99% of applications will not be, and should not be, switching Flux providers.
Would like to hear your opinion on using Flux-Util's ReduceStore with Containers
Hey,
what you said make sense. I spend two years writing the book and Flux was one of the first chapters. At that time Facebook didn't release Flux related tools. As far as I remember there was only a dispatcher. That's why there are tons of implementations/libraries dealing with Flux. I did the same. I wanted to explain it and implement it step by step. Indeed now I can update that section and I'll leave this issue open.
