serena v0.0.1

To get started run the following (this builds in dev mode with watchers):

$> git clone https://gitlab.com/Inspiravetion/serena
$> cd serena
$> npm run init
$> gulp

Roadmap

• Injection/AB Testing/loading story
• testing

Stores

Source of truth for data that needs to be persisted. May not directly touch or alter data from other stores. However, middleware may access other stores so circular dependencies need to be avoided. Should be used for feature data (settings, complex navigation interactions, authentication, etc), middleware data that needs to be shared across instances and asynchronously initialized. Stores should also own all error handling and logic for how its data changes. A stores Data is readonly outside of its action methods.

Middleware

Allow for the altering of control flow in Store/Controller actions as well as hooks to react to action and model events. Middleware may be mounted on a class so that all of it's actions/model properties are instrumented or on a action/model property level for more granularity. Each place a middleware is mounted, a new instance of it is created. For instance, mounting one on a class will instantiate one instance and use it for all actions/model properties. Each action/model property that it is mounted on will get a fresh instance of the middleware. Middleware may also take dependencies on Stores.

Controller

Map store and controller state to stateless views and wire user interactions to store actions. Controllers should also handle their loading and error states.

• Decorators -> @store + @controller => @state => @derived_state => @action -> @controller + @middleware => @store -> @store => @async (must be used with action)
• Initialization -> async initialize()

Mounting Middleware and Attaching Observers

Directly

const middleware = [
    () => new Interuptable(),
    () => new Atomic(),
    () => new Authenticated(),
    () => new Logging()    
];

@store()                                                         
@mount(middleware) 
class FooStore {
    ...
} 

Via Decorator Extensions

const cooperative = middlewareDecorator([Interuptable, Atomic]);
const authenticated = middlewareDecorator([Authenticated]);

@store()                                                         
@cooperative
@authenticated
class FooStore {
    ...
}
