question on suspense

[windmaomao]

this is an awesome library.

and i just have a question, how does suspense fit into this picture ? I know React team might take it to very wild implementation. But IMHO, isn't hook going to at least help on this problem.

  const [data] = useResourceOrCache()

Of course, somehow createSuspense might have to be included in the parent, because this hook needs to communicate with the parent. Ok, we can have <Suspense ... />.

Then is this a bit similar to the design of Context, once the children resource is resolved, it'll notify the parent Suspense.

Now I wonder if i can just use a Context to simulate Suspense, for some reason i also wonder if suspense is a such bad idea. Because how do I know what to suspend for. Anyway.

There's no concept of Suspense in Haunted. I think it's very unlikely we'll ever add it for similar reasons as to why Preact isn't doing so.

I believe that Suspense functionality becoming stable in Preact 11 preactjs/preact#2915

@windmaomao I have used Contexts to implement Suspense-like behavior in a Haunted app before. The implementation could be generalized and improved though. Might be some inspiration:
