Any guidance on creating snapshots with vanilla MobX?

[joelbqz]

Hi guys, hope all is well! I know that MST provides an easy way to create/apply snapshots, but I like the simplicity of MobX and wondering what would be the best way when combining multiple stores?

I did a recursive function that saves the entire state tree into a JSON identifying each model with its object

It returns something like this:

{
	"__Model": "TodoStore",
	"author": {
		"__Model": "Author",
		"name": "John Doe"
	},
	"todos": [
		{
			"__Model": "Todo",
			"task": ""
		}
	]
}

Now I'm looking for a way to apply this to the main store, any idea if createViewModel utility would help me on this?
Thanks!!

you could take a look at serializr or any other serialization library you can find on the internet. I have to admit in most cases I personally just handcraft it. Note that your constructor name mechanism will probably not survive once your code is minified for production. Beyond that building the inverse utility shouldn't be too hard if you give every class an empty constructor and register them in some Map by name.

@mweststrate Thank you! Serializr library definitely looks what I'm looking for

@joelbqz How was your success with Serializr? I'm hesitant to go for MST or Keystone for the sake a Snapshots...
But Serializr seems to require re-declaration of my type information for the sake of serialization.

How'd you find this?
