Architecture

Overview

ΛLΞXΛNDRIΛ Librarian is an application built using electron. While it's work in progress, the goal is to make ΛLΞXΛNDRIΛ Librarian a high-performance, portable Javascript ES6 application built with React and Flux (using alt. It adopts a single data flow pattern:

╔═════════╗       ╔════════╗       ╔═════════════════╗
║ Actions ║──────>║ Stores ║──────>║ View Components ║
╚═════════╝       ╚════════╝       ╚═════════════════╝
     ^                                      │
     └──────────────────────────────────────┘

There are three primary types of objects:

• Actions: Interact with the system
• Views: Views make up the UI, and trigger available actions.
• Stores: Stores store the state of the application.

and since ΛLΞXΛNDRIΛ Librarian has a large amount of interaction with outside systems, we've added utils:

• Utils: Utils interact with APIs, outside systems, CLI tools and generate. They are called by user-generated actions and in return, also create actions based on API return values, CLI output etc.

Guidelines

• Avoid asynchronous code in Stores or Views. Instead, put code involving callbacks, promises or generators in utils or actions.
