## ⚠️ The Flux project has been archived and no further changes will be made. We recommend using more sophisticated alternatives like [Redux](http://redux.js.org/), [MobX](https://mobx.js.org/), [Recoil](https://recoiljs.org/), [Zustand](https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand), or [Jotai](https://github.com/pmndrs/jotai).

Flux

An application architecture for React utilizing a unidirectional data flow.

## Getting Started Start by looking through the [guides and examples](./examples) on Github. For more resources and API docs check out [facebook.github.io/flux](https://facebookarchive.github.io/flux). ## How Flux works For more information on how Flux works check out the [Flux Concepts](./examples/flux-concepts) guide, or the [In Depth Overview](https://facebookarchive.github.io/flux/docs/in-depth-overview). ## Requirements Flux is more of a pattern than a framework, and does not have any hard dependencies. However, we often use [EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter) as a basis for `Stores` and [React](https://github.com/facebook/react) for our `Views`. The one piece of Flux not readily available elsewhere is the `Dispatcher`. This module, along with some other utilities, is available here to complete your Flux toolbox. ## Installing Flux Flux is available as a [npm module](https://www.npmjs.org/package/flux), so you can add it to your package.json file or run `npm install flux`. The dispatcher will be available as `Flux.Dispatcher` and can be required like this: ```javascript const Dispatcher = require('flux').Dispatcher; ``` Take a look at the [dispatcher API and some examples](https://facebookarchive.github.io/flux/docs/dispatcher). ## Flux Utils We have also provided some basic utility classes to help get you started with Flux. These base classes are a solid foundation for a simple Flux application, but they are **not** a feature-complete framework that will handle all use cases. There are many other great Flux frameworks out there if these utilities do not fulfill your needs. ```js import {ReduceStore} from 'flux/utils'; class CounterStore extends ReduceStore { getInitialState(): number { return 0; } reduce(state: number, action: Object): number { switch (action.type) { case 'increment': return state + 1; case 'square': return state * state; default: return state; } } } ``` Check out the [examples](./examples) and [documentation](https://facebookarchive.github.io/flux/docs/flux-utils) for more information. ## Building Flux from a Cloned Repo Clone the repo and navigate into the resulting `flux` directory. Then run `npm install`. This will run [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/)-based build tasks automatically and produce the file Flux.js, which you can then require as a module. You could then require the Dispatcher like so: ```javascript const Dispatcher = require('path/to/this/directory/Flux').Dispatcher; ``` The build process also produces de-sugared versions of the `Dispatcher` and `invariant` modules in a `lib` directory, and you can require those modules directly, copying them into whatever directory is most convenient for you. The `flux-todomvc` and `flux-chat` example applications both do this. ## License Flux is BSD-licensed. We also provide an additional patent grant.
