[RFC] @plasmohq/redux

[ghabs]

How do you envision this feature/change to look/work like?

Per the request in the docs, I want to express my interest and support in getting the redux library to work with content scripts.

What is the purpose of this change/feature? Why?

Currently as a workaround I'm implementing messaging from a content script to a background script to trigger updates in the content scripts, but it would be nice to have a single unified approach for monitoring and updating state changes throughout the app.

BTW @ColdSauce why doesn't the redux thingy work with content-script? I thought that if it synced using our storage package, it should able to sync on the content script side too?

I.e, in my mind, the user can use the Storage module on the content-script side to watch for changes ;d...

Hey @ghabs thanks for the request! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with using Redux in content scripts. We can't promise to fix this in the near term just because we have a lot on our plate, but if you'd like to help us fix it, we can provide tips/help along the way.

A month ago, someone in our Discord community was looking to fix Redux in content scripts. I just reached out to them to see if they had any good insights or potential fixes they implemented that could help you + future readers out!

@louisgv, we had a conversation happening on Discord about this a month or so ago. Posting it here to give some more context

here's some issue with the storage provider that causes it not to work in content scripts

https://github.com/ssorallen/redux-persist-webextension-storage

this is the engine that we use for persisting state

Looks like this is related: ssorallen/redux-persist-webextension-storage#2

Has anything changed since then in the context of how redux works in content scripts? It's been 3/4 years since then.
