Handling React Dialog Flows with async/await
Short summary
Author introduces an async/await pattern for managing complex React dialog flows, replacing scattered state management with a Promise-based API that reads sequentially. Presents open-source react-dialog-flow library implementing this approach while maintaining flexibility in underlying dialog UI components. Seeking community feedback on API design choices for handling nested dialogs, dismissal reasons, and conditional close behavior.
- •Async/await pattern simplifies React dialog state management across multiple flows
- •Open-source library decouples dialog UI from flow logic and Promise-based coordination
- •Supports nested dialogs, dismissal reasons, and shouldClose guards
