The Reactive Code That Broke My Brain and Changed My Mind (in time for Combine!)

After almost five years of working with ReactiveCocoa and RxSwift, I still felt like reactive (Rx) programming had limited use in my work.

But with Swift and RxSwift maturing, I was looking for a way to try it more. This spring, a colleague and I decided to use it whole-heartedly on a project. We established some guidelines that led us to an extremely clean Model-View-ViewModel implementation with a declarative ViewController and stateless ViewModel. And when Apple announced Combine at WWDC this year, we were glad we did because this code will convert to SwiftUI/Combine more easily.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• The basic ideas behind Rx that all Rx libraries share
• The “why” for Rx style code and how it can be radically different from typical Objected-Oriented structures
• How to do Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) with Rx
• How to unit test the resulting ViewModel
