Examples of Usage of Reac0veCocoa in the Fabric App "Building
Fabric.app with Reac6veCocoa" - Javier Soto. RACDC2016 - April 2016 14
Examples - Networking final class AuthenticatedFabricAPI { func applications() ->
SignalProducer<[Application], FabricAPIError> { return apiNetworking.requestJSONProducer( URL: APIURL(path: "api/v3/projects"), method: .GET ) .attemptMap(Application.decodeObjectsInJSON) .observeOn(UIScheduler()) } } "Building Fabric.app with Reac6veCocoa" - Javier Soto. RACDC2016 - April 2016 15
DataLoadState final class MyViewModel { var data: MyEntity? } "Building
Fabric.app with Reac6veCocoa" - Javier Soto. RACDC2016 - April 2016 16
DataLoadState enum DataLoadState<DataType> { case Loading case Failed case Loaded(DataType)
} "Building Fabric.app with Reac6veCocoa" - Javier Soto. RACDC2016 - April 2016 17
DataLoadState enum DataLoadState<DataType> { case Loading case Failed case Loaded(DataType)

Examples - View Models typealias ApplicationLoadState = DataLoadState<[Application]> final class
