Let's say you have code like this:

class LaneStore {
  constructor() {
    this.bindActions(LaneActions);
  }
  ...
}

It would be useful if Alt gave warnings for missing bindings during development. Now it's easy to typo a method and miss it given it fails silently.

I've thought about that but then that means that you'll have to add every method in the actions to the store.

Is there a case where that's a good practice? Can you give a concrete example?

Not all actions map 1:1 to stores.

UserActions
  userAuthorized
  userUpdated

UserStore
  bindActions(UserActions)

  userUpdated(user) {
    this.setState({ user })
  }


CompanyStore
  bindActions(UserActions)

  userAuthorized() {
    this.setState({ users: this.state.users + 1 })
  }

There's also potentially the case where an action is handled in multiple stores and bindActions is lazily used, we wouldn't want to require the definition of all other actions.

Yeah, great point. What if you could mark actions as strict somehow? Maybe there's a neat way to solve it on definition level. This will make it more verbose, but it will also communicate intent far better.

I'm cool with that :) .isRequired lol

Yeah. I would be happy with a little schema definition. Safer to use, harder to break.
