Introduction

Section • 2 episodes • 1 hr 3 min

We provided a short, succinct, two part introduction to the basics of Combine so that we could leverage Combine to power the effects in the Composable Architecture. We discuss Combine’s core concepts, such as publishers and subscribers, from first principles and show how they compare to concepts we’ve covered previously on Point-Free.

We developed our own custom reactive type from first principles to model effects in the Composable Architecture, which we then later refactored to take advantage of Combine.
