Modular State Management: The Point

Episode #75 • Oct 7, 2019 • Subscriber-Only

We’ve now fully modularized our app by extracting its reducers and views into their own modules. Each screen of our app can be run as a little app on its own so that we can test its functionality, all without needing to know how it’s plugged into the app as a whole. And this is the point of modular state management!

Introduction

Alright, we’ve now accomplished what we set out to do at the beginning of this series of episodes on modular state management. First, we defined what “modular” meant: we determined that modularity was the ability to move code into a literal Swift module so that it is completely isolated from the rest of your app. Then we showed just how modular our reducers already were by breaking each one off into a framework of its own. Finally, in order to modularize our views we discovered two forms of composition on the Store type: one that allowed us to focus an existing store on some subset of state, and another that allowed us to focus an existing store on some subset of actions. These operations allowed us to separate all of our views from more global, app-level concerns and move them into isolated modules of their own.
