ReactiveUI is a MVVM framework that promotes scalability, testability, and the facilitation of modern asynchronous programming techniques. It leverages Functional reactive programming by building upon Reactive Extensions and extending them to the user interface..[2]
ReactiveUI is an open source, .NET Foundation project, maintained by a passionate group of unpaid volunteers[3], and is at the heart of numerous applications.[4]
Supported Platforms[edit]
- Universal Windows Platform
- Windows Presentation Foundation
- Windows Forms
- Xamarin.Forms
- Xamarin.iOS
- Xamarin.Mac
- Xamarin.Android
- Tizen
Notability[edit]
ReactiveUI simplifies multithreaded development, flipping the event driven ideology of MVVM upside down, and declaratively solving composition bottom up.[5] ReactiveUI is a complete MVVM framework, like MVVM-Light, Prism, and CaliburnMicro, but with a focus on solving integration problems in the Functional reactive paradigm.[6]
Reactive extensions allow sequences of application events (such as regular events, web service responses, and asynchronous IO) to be assembled, transformed, filtered, and manipulated into streams of meaningful information that can drive application logic, using a syntax similar to LINQ. ReactiveUI facilitates the connection and composition of these streams of information to ViewModels and Views[7], and simplifies cross platform development by facilitating consistent and compatible structures.[8] Consequently, ReactiveUI is well regarded in both the Xamarin[9][10] and .Net communities[11]
History[edit]
ReactiveUI was created by Paul Betts whilst working in Office Labs at Microsoft, and released in early 2011.[12] Inspired by implementations of Reactive Extensions in existing WPF and Silverlight applications, Paul set out to reduce the overhead of integrating Reactive sources with Views and View-Models.[13] This, in turn, has inspired similar libraries[14] on other platforms, such as ReactiveCocoa on Mac Os.
Future development[edit]
.Net Foundation CLA[edit]
ReactiveUI is now part of the .Net Foundation[15], and requires contributors sign the .NET Foundation CLA.[16]
License change[edit]
ReactiveUI was originally released under the MSPL which drew criticism as it prevented the project from being used in GPL projects. ReactiveUI became licenced under the MIT License licence on the May 2, 2018.[17]
ReactiveUI is currently at Version 9 and is now a mature framework.[18]
