How it works

The Renderer Process architecture:

• Action (Event) driven nature
• The IO Management, Business Logic Management and Predictable Application State Management processors (middlewares) are subscribers of the application action stream.
• The IO Management and Business Logic Management are consumers and producers of actions.
• The Predictable State Management is just a consumer of actions
• The views are listeners of the predictable state and they are re rendered whenever the predictable state changes and they produce actions upon the user interaction (clicks)

Usage

Install application's dependencies:

npm install

Start the application

npm start

Start the development server and run the application in development mode:

npm run dev

Binaries

All binaries of the latest version are uploaded to the releases
