Signals For Solid, Qwik And React

When it comes to web development, there are many different frameworks and libraries to choose from. Solid, Qwik, and React are three popular options, each with its own unique set of features and benefits. One important aspect of all three is the handling of signals, which are used to communicate changes and updates within the application.

Signals in Solid

Solid is a reactive library for building user interfaces. It uses a concept called signals to track changes in state and trigger re-rendering of components. Signals in Solid are typically created using the `createSignal` function, which returns a pair of values – the current state and a setter function to update the state. This allows for a simple and efficient way to manage state and reactivity in Solid components.

Signals in Qwik

Qwik is a framework for building web applications with a focus on performance and developer productivity. In Qwik, signals are used to manage the flow of data and updates within the application. Signals can be created using the `useSignals` hook, which provides a way to subscribe to changes and trigger updates in components. This allows for a streamlined and efficient approach to managing state and reactivity in Qwik applications.

Signals in React

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. In React, signals are managed using the `useState` and `useEffect` hooks. The `useState` hook allows for creating and updating state values, while the `useEffect` hook can be used to subscribe to changes and trigger side effects. This provides a flexible and powerful way to manage state and reactivity in React components.

Conclusion

Signals play a crucial role in managing state and reactivity in web applications. Solid, Qwik, and React each provide their own unique approach to handling signals, offering developers a range of options to choose from when building modern web applications.

Why do people always show the state as a global in these signal tutorials, aren't final variables known to be a bad idea for decades already?

Your React `useRef` example for updating innerHtml wasn't done correctly.

This is how i currently testing to use them in Next.js

// export const pageLoader = atomSignal(true);
// $(pageLoader).value = false;
// const [isLoading] = useAtom(pageLoader);
// <div>{isLoading}</div>

6:45 – Through what kind of black magic does useRouteData link with routeData?

Vuejs is so much more elegant and readable in its writing than Solid, I don't understand the current craze for this library

Can you make a video about 'React Forget', it apparently makes React apps more performant by reducing rerenders?

Please i just built an app in react, utilizing signals but I get this error => { 'default' is not exported by react/jsx-runtime, imported by node_modules/@preact/signals-react/dist/signals.module.js } any time I run vite build, I have searched but couldn't get any answer… Would appreciate if you can help me please

HI @Jack Herrington! I found a little bit confusing the function `routeData` because the 1st thing we do is create this array destructuring with [users] on it, but then inside our createResource 1st parameter the function we pass returns a object with property e value for users.

How it works for the array destructuring for createResource return object to get the 1st value of the returned array?

Sorry if my question is a bit confusing too…

But I wanted to understand how that `{ users }` object go to the first value of the returned array on line 13 at 9:15 of the video timeline.

Thanks!

Vue does it in so much better way(not just in state management) but still ppl looking into react that implements layer on top of another layer

I don't really understand the hype for Signals, just a rebranding of an Observable?!

I appreciate it but, having moved to React from Vue for almost two years now, I don't understand how this is becoming popular since Vue has been doing this for a while now. React is nice of course but I always liked Vue better and I wish it was the more popular option

Hopefully solid steals some of the react ecosystem
