A unidirectional state management architecture for Swift, inspired by Vuex and Flux.
VueFlux is a unidirectional state management architecture for Swift, inspired by Vuex and Flux. It provides a structured way to manage application state by dividing responsibilities into State, Actions, Mutations, and Computed components, ensuring predictable data flow and easier debugging. The architecture supports multi-store setups, global action dispatching, and integration with reactive frameworks for observing state changes.
Swift developers building iOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS applications, especially those working on larger-scale projects where managing complex state across multiple view controllers becomes challenging.
Developers choose VueFlux for its clear separation of concerns, predictable unidirectional data flow, and flexibility to integrate with reactive frameworks like RxSwift or its lightweight VueFluxReactive. It reduces side effects and improves maintainability in complex Swift applications.

Enforces a clear data flow inspired by Vuex/Flux, with state changes only through Mutations, reducing side effects and improving debuggability, as illustrated in the architecture diagram.
Works seamlessly with VueFluxReactive, RxSwift, or ReactiveSwift, allowing teams to choose their preferred reactive system for observing state changes, mentioned in the introduction.
Supports designated stores per view controller, isolating state management and preventing tight coupling, which is a key feature highlighted for managing complex applications.
Enables stores to receive actions dispatched globally, freeing view controllers from dependencies and facilitating cross-component communication, as described in the global dispatch section.
Requires implementing separate types for State, Actions, Mutations, and Computed, leading to significant setup code and maintenance burden, a trade-off the README openly admits.
Introduces multiple new concepts like Executors, DisposableScope, and signal operators, which can be daunting for developers unfamiliar with reactive or Flux patterns.
Has limited community adoption compared to mainstream Swift state management libraries, potentially affecting the availability of third-party tools, tutorials, and support.
