Cerebral is a declarative state and side effects management library for JavaScript frontend frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, Preact, and Inferno. It models application logic as composable sequences of actions and ships with a debugger offering time-travel inspection of state and sequences.

Use cases

• manage state in a React app with declarative side effect sequences
• time-travel debug application state changes
• share state management logic across React, Vue, and Angular
• structure complex async flows as composable action chains
• organize a frontend app into modules with scoped state
• add typed state management to a Vue 3 application

When to choose

• you want declarative, composable sequences instead of imperative async logic
• you need a debugger with time-travel for state and side effects
• you work across multiple view frameworks and want one state pattern
• you value full type safety in state management

When to avoid

• you want a library with active feature development - it is in maintenance mode
• your team already uses Redux, Zustand, or Pinia conventions
• you need a large ecosystem of middleware and community extensions
• you prefer minimal unopinionated state containers
