Architecture

The Spacetime MAUI Project uses Fluxor for state management. This means all actions are kicked off using the Dispatcher and handled either in an Effect or a Reducer.

Example:

<button OnClick="Save">Save</button>
@code {
    private void Save()
    {
        Dispatcher.Dispatch(new UpdateRequestAction(Request));
    }
}

This will fire an action, and at the very simplest level, can be handled in a reducer method. However, if this action does anything other than mutate state in a reducer, such as an API call, this will be created in an Effect.

All Actions, Reducers, and Effects are in the Spacetime.Store namespace, organized by "feature."

View the Fluxor documentation for further explanation.
