swift-composable-architecture VS ReSwift

TCA for short. Very scalable, quite promising, quite popular. A decent alternative for MVVM enhanced by the Clean Architecture. You can learn more about it in a Point-Free tutorial and on GitHub.

🙏 Built with SwiftUI and The Composable Architecture (TCA): This isn’t a feature, but I just want to express my gratitude to the creators and maintainers of these two frameworks, which have played a huge part in making me fall in love with iOS development.

Razliciti alternativni frameworci i arhitekture - Recimo, na pamet mi padaju Composable Architecture (https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture) i RIBs arhitektura (https://github.com/uber/RIBs). Ok, ove arhitekture resavaju neke probleme. Ali da li problemi koje te arhitekture resavaju solidan developer ne moze sam da resi bez vendor locka za kreatore tih arhitektura. Jesu one open-source, ali meni je rizik da se vezujem za bilo sta sto sutra moze da prestane da se odrzava.

I came across this post discussing MVM, MVVM, MVP, and composable architecture.

At a minimum, Composable Architecture, and now Dependencies from Point-Free.

I’ve built a couple of apps with this framework: https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture

While there are apps that use a Redux-style architecture, the arch is still in its infancy in the community. There are a number of implementations each with their own take on Redux. TCA is probably the one with the most name recognition and documentation.

Learn it if the project at hand requires it. A lot of older, more mature apps will still use UIKit, so it’s likely if you plan to work an iOS developer job that you will need it. But it’s getting to the point where a lot of the forward thinking shops are already starting to integrate SwiftUI. (Me being one of them) which, btw, a lot of people will say SwiftUI isn’t quite there yet, and I mostly disagree. SwiftUI is good for a great many use cases. Yes, there are still pain points, but you can write most of the apps you’d need to write in SwiftUI. And there are great architectural frameworks out there that actually give SwiftUI an opinionated way to structure apps that is testable and maintainable.

There are some great examples linked to the ReSwift GitHub page: https://github.com/ReSwift/ReSwift

ReSwift is also pretty good!

ReduxKotlin There are a few ports of Redux for KMM. This one might be the best because it is thread safe, which is very nice. The only drawback that I don't love about it is that it doesn't have types for sevral aspacts that feel like they should have types. On the other-hand ReKotlin (which is a port of ReSwift) has a lot of the typing that ReduxKotlin is missing, but is missing the thread safety. It just depends on your use-case.

Great article OP! Im sure you've seen it in your travels, but Ive been using ReSwift and ReSwift-Thunk for async actions and I've had great success - Gonna look into your navigation solution as that was the one part I'm still missing!

I recommend you checkout the code base of ReSwift
