Roadmap

v1.1

New Features

1. Support Non-singleton dispatcher.

2. Middleware - a mechanism to extend the functionality of dispatcher allowing for advanced asynchronous workflow and integration with visual component like FileDialog.

3. Store - A replacement of AppListener that could listen from non-singleton dispatcher, and re-dispatch the action message to another Store components sequentially. It could avoid the over-complicated waitFor mechanism.

4. Hydration - Serialize and deserialize a store to/from a QVariantMap object.

New Components

What is new in QuickFlux 1.1?

Hydration Example

Hydrate is responsible for taking a snapshot of store and restore back to any state. It may be used with ViewStack.pri (a stateful StackView) to simulate different condition of UI.

var snapshot = Hydrate.dehydrate(MainStore); // Convert the data field of MainStore into a JSON object
...
Hydrate.rehydrate(MainStore, snapshot1); // 
...
Hydrate.rehydrate(MainStore, snapshot2);
