Can anyone explain what value does 'monadic' give to react?

There are distinct notions of monad. Just a note.

That's not really helpful without at least two distinct notions of monads shown.

a data class / object is a monad if it confirms to the 3 monadic laws [1]: Left identity, Right identity and Associativity.

To do this, it must implement two functions. 1. chain (also called 'flatMap', '>>=' in haskell). 2. unit (sometimes called 'of', for instance in js).

Nothing more is needed to understand and implement a monad in any language.

that you can simply flapmap async transform of state to sink
