Omniscient is a JavaScript library providing an abstraction over React components for fast top-down rendering using immutable data structures and cursors. It acts as memoization for stateless React components via a smart predefined shouldComponentUpdate, but is now retired since React.memo covers most of its use cases.
Use cases
- optimize React re-renders with immutable data
- memoize stateless React components
- build UIs with unidirectional data flow
- use cursors to pass shared immutable state through component trees
- write functional-style composable React components
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already built on Omniscient
- targeting pre-16.6 React versions where React.memo is unavailable
When to avoid
- starting a new React project - use React.memo instead
- you need actively maintained libraries
- you don't use Immutable.js or immutable data patterns
