Visual.Reactive.WinForms 1.0.0

What is Visual Reactive ??

Visual Reactive is a Library for .NET platform (Currently Winforms), that is inspired by functional reactive programming React JS. Reactive programming is a paradigm that allows you to express the idea around a feature in one readable place, abstract mutable state away from your user interfaces and improve the testability of your application.

The project was started this by KimTooFlex and is now at its Beta Version and Mature enough to to be implemented. The framework is used by Bunifu Technologies to Build its Awesome resposive Interfaces.

Why VisualReactive ?

Most modern programming today is basically imperative, meaning it models the traditional fetch-execute cycle of a CPU. Perform an instruction, fetch the next one. Perform that one, and so on. For decades, programmers have had to mould their brains to fit the paradigm of the CPU. It's been like this since the early 1980s.

VisualReactive is inspired by the paradigm of Functional Reactive Programming, which allows you to model user input as a function that changes over time. This is super cool because it allows you to abstract mutable state away from your user interfaces and express the idea around a feature in one readable place whilst improving application testability. Reactive programming can look scary and complex at first glance, but the best way to describe reactive programming is to think of a spreadsheet:

VSReactive<int>.
VSReactive<Image>.
VSReactive<T>.

Function/Method Reference

Summary of usefull Methods in Visualreacctive library

SetState

VSReactive<string>.SetState("phone","Hellow world");
VSReactive<int>.SetState("age",1);
VSReactive<double>.SetState("amount",199.233);
VSReactive<Image>.SetState("photo",Image1));
VSReactive<DataTable>.SetState("data",Datatable1);

getState

string phone = VSReactive<string>.GetState("phone");
int age = VSReactive<int>.GetState("age");
double amount = VSReactive<double>.GetState("amount");
Image photo = VSReactive<Image>.GetState("photo");
DataTable data = VSReactive<DataTable>.GetState("data"); 

Subscribe

//method 1
 VSReactive<string>.Subscribe("phone", (phone) => MessageBox.Show(phone));
 
 //method 2
VSReactive<string>.Subscribe("phone",(phone)=> {
  //phone state changed
    MessageBox.Show(phone);
 });

Broadcast

 VSReactive<string>.Broadcast(textBox1, "Text", "phone");
 VSReactive<int>.Broadcast(textBox1, "Text", "phone");

Example 1 - Subscribe/Broadcast

VSReactive<string>.Broadcast(textBox1, "Text", "phone");
 VSReactive<string>.Subscribe("phone",(phone)=> {
  //phone state changed
    MessageBox.Show(phone);
 });

Example 2 - Subscribe/Broadcast (BroadSub)

 VSReactive<string>.BroadSub(textBox1, "Text", "phone", (phone) =>
 {
  MessageBox.Show("Phone changed");
 });

Subscribe Method & Invoke Method

   //register a method
 VSReactive<string>.SubscribeMethod("msg",
  (message) =>
  {
    MessageBox.Show(message);
   });
    
  //call the method (Globally accessible)
   VSReactive<string>.InvokeMethod("msg","Visual Reactive is Awesome");

Event Binding

   //sets the phone state to  072255454545 when clicked
   button1.Click += VSReactive<string>.BindEvent("phone", "072255454545");
         

Timer

 //runs the timer with initial interval - paused when interval state is at 0
 VSReactive<string>.SetInterval("interval", 1000, 
  (interval) =>
  {
    MessageBox.Show("Timer tick");
  });
