Gradle DSL

```kotlin

val flowmvi = "< Badge above 👆🏻 >"
// Core KMP module
commonMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:core:$flowmvi")
// compose multiplatform
commonMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:compose:$flowmvi")
// saving and restoring state
commonMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:savedstate:$flowmvi")
// essenty integration
commonMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:essenty:$flowmvi")
commonMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:essenty-compose:$flowmvi")
// testing DSL
commonTestImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:test:$flowmvi")
// android integration
androidMainImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:android:$flowmvi")
// remote debugging client
androidDebugImplementation("pro.respawn.flowmvi:debugger-plugin:$flowmvi")
}
```

## Why FlowMVI?

* Powerful Plug-In system to automate processes and **reuse any business logic** you desire.
* Create automatic analytics handlers, websocket connections, error handling mechanisms, or anything else once and
reuse them throughout your whole project automatically.
* Build fully **async, reactive and parallel apps** - with no manual thread synchronization required!
* Create multiplatform business logic components with pluggable UI using **0 platform code**.
* Automatically **recover from any errors** and prevent crashes
* Automatic multiplatform system **lifecycle handling**
* Out of the box **debugging, logging, testing, undo/redo, caching and long-running tasks** support
* **Compress, persist, and restore state** automatically on any platform
* No base classes, complicated interfaces or factories of factories - logic is **declarative and built with a DSL**
* Restartable, reusable business logic components with no external dependencies or dedicated lifecycles.
* Create compile-time safe state machines with a readable DSL. Forget about casts and `null`s
* First class Compose Multiplatform support optimized for performance and ease of use
* Use both MVVM+ (functional) or MVI (model-driven) style of programming
* Share, distribute, or disable side-effects based on your team's needs
* Dedicated remote debugger app for Windows, Linux, MacOS
* The core library depends on kotlin coroutines. Nothing else.
* Integration with popular libraries, such as [Decompose (Essenty)](https://github.com/arkivanov/Decompose)
* Core library is fully covered by tests
* Learn more by exploring the [sample app](https://opensource.respawn.pro/FlowMVI/sample/) in your browser.

## How does it look?

Define a contract

```kotlin
sealed interface CounterState : MVIState {
data object Loading : CounterState
data class Error(val e: Exception) : CounterState

@Serializable
data class DisplayingCounter(
val timer: Int,
val counter: Int,
) : CounterState
}

sealed interface CounterIntent : MVIIntent {
data object ClickedCounter : CounterIntent
}

sealed interface CounterAction : MVIAction {
data class ShowMessage(val message: String) : CounterAction
}
```

```kotlin
class CounterContainer(
private val repo: CounterRepository,
) {
val store = store(initial = Loading) {

configure {
actionShareBehavior = ActionShareBehavior.Distribute()
debuggable = true

// makes the store fully async, parallel and thread-safe
parallelIntents = true
coroutineContext = Dispatchers.Default
atomicStateUpdates = true
}

enableLogging()
enableRemoteDebugging()

// allows to undo any operation
val undoRedo = undoRedo()

// manages long-running jobs
val jobManager = manageJobs()

// saves and restores the state automatically
serializeState(
path = repo.cacheFile("counter"),
serializer = DisplayingCounter.serializer(),
)

// performs long-running tasks on startup
init {
repo.startTimer()
}

// handles any errors
recover { e: Exception ->
action(ShowMessage(e.message))
null
}

// hooks into subscriber lifecycle
whileSubscribed {
repo.timer.collect {
updateState {
copy(timer = timer)
}
}
}

// lazily evaluates and caches values, even when the method is suspending.
val pagingData by cache {
repo.getPagedDataSuspending()
}

reduce { intent: CounterIntent ->
when (intent) {
is ClickedCounter -> updateState {
copy(counter = counter + 1)
}
}
}

// builds custom plugins on the fly
install {
onStop { repo.stopTimer() }
}
}
}
```

### Subscribe one-liner:

```kotlin
store.subscribe(
scope = coroutineScope,
consume = { action -> /* process side effects */ },
render = { state -> /* render states */ },
)
```

### Plugins:

Powerful DSL allows to hook into store events and amend any store's logic with reusable plugins.

```kotlin
val counterPlugin = lazyPlugin {

onStart { }

onStop { }

onIntent { intent -> }

onState { old, new -> }

onAction { action -> }

onSubscribe { subs -> }

onUnsubscribe { subs -> }

onException { e -> }

// access the store configuration
if (config.debuggable) config.logger(Debug) { "Store is debuggable" }
}
```

### Compose Multiplatform:

![badge][badge-android] ![badge][badge-ios] ![badge][badge-mac] ![badge][badge-jvm] ![badge][badge-wasm] ![badge][badge-js]

```kotlin
@Composable
fun CounterScreen() {
val store = inject().store

// subscribe to store based on system lifecycle - on any platform
val state by store.subscribe { action ->
when (action) {
is ShowMessage -> /* ... */
}
}

when (state) {
is DisplayingCounter -> {
Button(onClick = { store.intent(ClickedCounter) }) {
Text("Counter: ${state.counter}")
}
}
}
}
```

### Android support:

No more subclassing `ViewModel`. Use `StoreViewModel` instead and make your business logic multiplatform.

```kotlin
val module = module {
factoryOf(::CounterContainer)
viewModel(qualifier()) { StoreViewModel(get()) }
}

class ScreenFragment : Fragment() {

private val vm by viewModel(qualifier())

override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
subscribe(vm, ::consume, ::render)
}

private fun render(state: CounterState) {
// update your views
}

private fun consume(action: CounterAction) {
// handle actions
}
}
```

## Testing DSL

### Test Stores

```kotlin
counterStore().subscribeAndTest {

// turbine + kotest example
ClickedCounter resultsIn {
states.test {
awaitItem() shouldBe DisplayingCounter(counter = 1, timer = 0)
}
actions.test {
awaitItem().shouldBeTypeOf()
}
}
}
```

### Test plugins

```kotlin
val timer = Timer()
timerPlugin(timer).test(Loading) {

onStart()

// time travel keeps track of all plugin operations for you
assert(timeTravel.starts == 1)
assert(state is DisplayingCounter)
assert(timer.isStarted)

onStop(null)

assert(!timer.isStarted)
}
```
