SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reactor newcomers need a concise primer that unifies the mental model, minimal app shape, essential hooks, and common factories to accelerate productive learning and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Presents the React-to-Reactor mental model and core patterns
  • Shows the minimal app structure, key hooks, and frequently used factories
  • Serves as a baseline before diving into topical skills like reactor-async or reactor-design for deeper tasks

Quick Start

Run the Reactor getting-started workflow to orient yourself with the canonical patterns and setup for typical Reactor work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transition from React to Reactor for a new project?

Transitioning from React to Reactor involves learning the Reactor mental model, minimal app shape, and essential hooks. This primer provides the canonical patterns and scaffolding setup to accelerate onboarding for developers moving from React.

What is the Reactor mental model and how do its hooks work?

The Reactor mental model unifies app state and side-effect management through essential hooks and factories. This primer explains how these core patterns function together to form a minimal, operational app structure.

What's the best way to scaffold a minimal Reactor application?

Scaffolding a minimal Reactor app involves using the canonical app shape and essential factories outlined in this primer, which provides hands-on setup guidance and typical app structures for new projects.

Do I need prior React experience to use Reactor patterns and factories?

Prior React experience is helpful but not required to use Reactor patterns and factories. This primer serves developers transitioning from React as well as newcomers starting new Reactor projects.

When should I move beyond the Reactor getting-started primer to other skills?

Move beyond the getting-started primer to topical skills like reactor-async or reactor-design once you need advanced asynchronous operations or complex design patterns for deeper, specialized tasks beyond basic scaffolding.
