because its very easy to do it in javascript, and seems like a fun thing to write on your own

disclaimer: no I don’t do it and I think all forms of mocks that aren’t just an object passed in to a constructor that has the same interface are bad and a different code smell

i have still yet to really understand the usefulness of it, because the code still breaks and people still push updates that even with mocks and loose coupling just loving crash all over the place, and despite complaining in this thread multiple times about it already

the only js framework i know of that has embraced DI as a concept was angular and, well, that didn't go super well on a number of fronts

with react/redux a lot of the time the patterns actually lend themselves pretty well to not needing mocking since there's usually some layer of indirection you can test instead (testing that an action is dispatched instead of mocking out a method on an object). a lot of times stuff that would be provided by a DI container can live in some top level component and get accessed through context, for things like api clients and whatnot, which... i dunno that's basically DI, if you're coming from the perspective of "DI is basically just passing dependencies as arguments to things"

yeah, that's more or less my perspective. you don't need a framework to follow the pattern, and sometimes a framework introduces complexities that just make poo poo worse

Guice literally just calls constructors for you, how is it difficult to just ... call them yourself somewhere instead.

Redux makes your components into a function of the state of the entire universe so when I think of a system that lends itself well to unit testing Redux is not the first thing that comes to mind.

a last drink with no ice
i've only used two di frameworks before and in both cases, 90% of the time, they were cool and good. lifetime management (a complicated thing) was handled in discrete, well-defined spots in the application, rather than being strung out all over the application, and my dependencies just appeared out of the aether when i needed them.

the other 10% of the time the dependencies from the aether were wrong and i had no idea how to fix them because the code to actually instantiate things was buried four layers deep in a third-party library

Depends on the di framework. Dagger makes a point of moving those failures back to compile time, for instance.

Redux makes your components into a function of the state of the entire universe so when I think of a system that lends itself well to unit testing Redux is not the first thing that comes to mind.

at work for testing react components that are connected to the redux store, I've just been exporting the unconnected component to be tested with, and exporting the connected components as the default export to be used in the app.

limit the scope of the props you're passing down from the global store, and add them to proptypes, and testing redux-connected components hasn't been bad for us, we just pass in the props that would be passed down from the `mapStateToProps` function and don't worry about simulating the global state.

I haven't used angular since the initial version (before they changed the name from AngularJS to Angular, and rewrote the whole codebase) but christ what a shitshow of complexity and unnecessary new terms that was.

then react came out and it was so much simpler and straightforward :shrug: (but also powerful enough to run one of the most trafficked front-page heavy websites in the world)

yeah, i've had much more success (and a much more pleasant experience) using react. i've worked less with redux, but only because most of my react apps are relatively small, and passing a data interface to the top-level component is frequently good enough

Either paying-down tech debt is a priority for management or it's not. If it's a priority then they need to devote time to solving the problem (and if they won't then it's not actually a priority).

If they do consider it a priority then they need to be made to see that it has to have resources devoted to it (which, perforce, cannot be used to plink tickets while so devoted) and if they can't be made to understand this we could be looking at a more fundamental problem (management not understanding the fish/cut-bait nature of either solving new business or solving old business) which suggests they don't value their worker's time sufficiently?

feel free to tell management you're gonna keep paying down tech debt as you go, regardless of whether that's formally accounted for, because you know what you're doing. but feel free not to

redux is one of the react cases where it got super hyped up for some reason, and everyone thought it should be used everywhere always at all times for everything.

as a result you see people race to use it for everything for no good reason, like storing every piece of their application's component-local state in it, and never using `setState` or `useState`.

it's meant for one thing: global shared state across a react application. it does it pretty decently (but with admittedly really lovely boilerplate/syntax). if you don't need to share global state between two components that otherwise have nothing to do with each other (i.e. no close common parent), then it's not needed. even if you have a need for some global state, if you can satisfy that requirement with making separate api calls, that's probably a much better approach for as long as you can reasonably do it.
