Mobx Dart

Abstract

1. Introduction

MobX is a state-management library that makes it simple to connect the reactive data of your application with the UI. This wiring is completely automatic and feels very natural. As the application-developer, you focus purely on what reactive-data needs to be consumed in the UI (and elsewhere) without worrying about keeping the two in sync.

It's not really magic but it does have some smarts around what is being consumed (observables) and where (reactions), and automatically tracks it for you. When the _observables_ change, all _reactions_ are re-run. What's interesting is that these reactions can be anything from a simple console log, a network call to re-rendering the UI.

We are very thankful to our sponsors to make us part of their _Open Source Software (OSS)_ program. [Become a sponsor]
