What is ReactiveUi?
It is an advanced, Functional reactive MVVM and composable framework for all .Net frameworks.
ReactiveUi supports reactive programming to ease the implementation of the MVVM patterns in the application.
MVVM frame- Compared to other works, ReactiveUi is not very dictatorial.
Here, the Reactive Extensions (Rx) library is an appropriate use which, we declare callbacks and can manage asynchronous executions in the code and using the LinQ syntax, it does all these tasks.
It removes the unstructured & difficultly manageable code and makes it readable.
Generating ToDo List using ReactiveUi
For starting the project, we need to install 3 packages in the PCL project using NuGet package.
ReactiveUi.XamForms package
DynamicData package
Sextant.XamForms package
And we’ll have to use the 8.0 or above version of C#.
Now, we have to create four folders as Managers, Models, ViewModels, and Views and add the appropriate file as mentioned below.
HomePage -> HomeViewModel handles the Todo List as it’s the home page.
ItemPage -> ItemVewModel adds and edits the single items.
The Item model represents the Todo item.
ItemManagers handles the collection of Todo.
Code for All added files:IItemManager.cs
public class ItemManager : IItemManager
{
public ItemManager()
{
ItemChanges = _itemsCache.Connect().RefCount();
}
public Optional<item> Get(string id) => _itemsCache.Lookup(id);
public IObservable<ichangeset<item, string="">> ItemChanges { get; }
public void AddOrUpdate(Item item) => _itemsCache.AddOrUpdate(item);
public void Remove(Item item) => _itemsCache.Remove(item);
private SourceCache<item, string=""> _itemsCache = new SourceCache<item, string="">(item => item.Id);
}
</item,></item,></ichangeset<item,></item>
Item.cs
public class Item : ReactiveObject
{
public Item(string id, string title)
{
Id = id;
Title = title;
}
public string Id { get; }

public bool IsCompleted
{

set => this.RaiseAndSetIfChanged(ref _isCompleted, value);

Conclusion
Using ReactiveUi, we get the power to make reactive, testable, and composable Ui as we use the MVVM pattern. The Todo list is used to manage our day-to-day timetable to be followed. And using this, we can also make some applications that give responses quickly and in an understandable way.
