It’s time to fully modularize our app! Our views can still send any app action, so let’s explore transforming stores to focus in on just the local actions a view cares about.

And just like that our views now take a smaller subset of state than the full AppState, which means the stores that power the views are starting to look a lot more like the reducers that power them.
It’s also worth noting how simple these changes were, and how quick we made them. We merely changed the state that the views operated on to focus in on just what they needed, and then we made sure that the stores we passed to those views were transformed in order to pluck out these values.
We first explored the concept of the pullback in our episode on “contravariance”, although back then we used a different name for the operation. The pullback is an instrumental form of composition that arises in certain situations, and can often be counter-intuitive at first sight.
Note Let’s explore a type of composition that defies our intuitions. It appears to go in the opposite direction than we are used to. We’ll show that this composition is completely natural, hiding right in plain sight, and in fact related to the Liskov Substitution Principle.
A classic paper exploring what makes functional programming special. It focuses on two positive aspects that set it apart from the rest: laziness and modularity.
This chapter of the Swift Programming Language book explains access control in depth and how it affects module imports.
Elm is both a pure functional language and framework for creating web applications in a declarative fashion. It was instrumental in pushing functional programming ideas into the mainstream, and demonstrating how an application could be represented by a simple pure function from state and actions to state.
The idea of modeling an application’s architecture on simple reducer functions was popularized by Redux, a state management library for React, which in turn took a lot of inspiration from Elm.
A talk that Brandon gave at the 2017 Functional Swift conference in Berlin. The talk contains a brief account of many of the ideas covered in our series of episodes on “Composable State Management”.
