The reason React uses a virtual DOM is because when React started, there were no (advanced) HTML templates yet. And it made it easy to setup listeners on elements, instead of manually adding it with `addEventListener()` and possibly remove them again with `removeEventListener()`. So the virtual DOM was really a game changer. But Lit templates solve these problems in a more browser integrated way, without the need of a virtual DOM. How you manage the state is free to your choice, that is also not something exclusive to React and your favorite pattern can also be used with Lit. I wrote a tiny state management library (LitState [0]) which makes it very easy for multiple components to share the same state and stay in sync. I personally find it much more convenient and cleaner than any other state library I've used before. And it integrates very nicely with Lit. [0]: https://github.com/gitaarik/lit-state |
