What is the status of the deep effect collection branch?

[bdwain]

I was following the thread that the deep effect collection branch was based on initially and I was interested to see what came of it. Are there any plans to do something like that in master?

I tried it out in this branch: https://github.com/raisemarketplace/redux-loop/tree/deep_effect_collection

It seems to work okay, but it's a pretty drastic departure from what redux-loop is intended to be so I'd prefer not to release it here and instead let someone else try to build something effective using that method. In particular, I really like how straightforward it is to test a reducer with redux-loop. Gathering effects in this way really changes the testing strategy.

tl;dr redux-loop will not be implementing deep effect collection and will continue to maintain parity with Elm, but this doesn't mean that deep effect collection is a bad idea and if you think it's worthwhile I hope you'll build something great!

I'm going to close this just so I can keep track of the open issues that represent bugs and things that need to be implemented, but we can definitely continue discussion if you'd like

Labeled as discussion instead

Cool. I was asking more out of curiosity. It sounds good in theory but I agree that having to wrap everything in a call to catcheffects or something like that will make testing more difficult. and testing in the return value is super easy.
