Discussion on: Build your first app with Mobx and React

[Rosy Shrestha]

Decorators are optional. I have mentioned the alternatives without decorators in the article.

And with the React 16.8 Hooks update, 'hooks let you use more of React’s features without classes'. And you can easily use Mobx with functional components ( no classes, no decorators ).

const person = observable({
  name: 'John Doe'
})

person.observe(...)

// wrap the component in observer function from mobx-react package
const Function = observer(()) => {....}

// or use useObserver hook from mobx-react package
const Function = useObserver (()) => {....}

For more details, you can read this section of mobx docs.
