SwiftUI Todo Redux app example using a React/Redux monolithic state store with flux like dispatch/reduce actions
SwiftUI based app using a centralized, 'monolithic' AppState() which binds to the UI using the Combine
framework and a PassthroughSubject
method. This architecture is based on the React/Redux pattern and has a few key benefits:
- Global app state is maintained in single global struct,
let state = AppState()
- Testing and Previewing of individual views can then be isolated with local test states, eg., a local debug call to
environmentObject(sampleStore)
can be used for UI Previews anywhere in the app - Isolating
Actions
fromState
allows for cleaner synchronous behavior, eg., handle both server based calls and local UI-only actions in the same method or flow - Chnages to state are
Reduced
within a simple state machine method which can be easily tested
The structure of the app follows a simple pattern of MVS: Models, Views and State. Models contain all the relevant state, separated into relevant gropus such as Tasks, Users, Authorization, etc. The models
directory contains model definitions, as well as codecs and backing store (ie., API Services) for isolated testing of the models and their propoer storage. The states
directory contains a combination of global app state, the sub-states or flux
describiing the relevant groups (eg., Task, User), actions which the user initiates (eg., TaskActions
or UserActions
) and then trigger asynchronous server-based or synchronous actions. The result of the actions are then reduced (eg., TaskStateReducer
or UserStateReducer
) to subsequently modify the global app state.
The AppState
structure holds referenes to the group states (ie., Tasks and User lists), as well as acts as a central dispatch
point for both actions and handling any state updates via the Combine
framework.
Finally, all UI Views are maintained within their respective hierarchy, with a Home or Root view driving all app navigation.
