LiveData 1.1.0

LiveData

A simple android LiveData alternative for WPF and C#<br>Easily add reactive properties with a single line of code

Features

• Automatically notifies value changes
• Add reactive properties in one line
• Map LiveData values (Map)
• Convert one LiveData to another (SwitchMap)
• Combine two LiveData
• Debounce emitted values
• Delay emitted values
• Convert Task to LiveData

How to use

Use LiveData on your viewmodels and add reactive properties

public class MyViewModel : ViewModel {

	public LiveData<string> SearchQuery { get; set; }
	public LiveData<bool> IsVisible { get; set; }

	public MyViewModel() {

		SearchQuery = new LiveData<string>("");
		SearchQuery.Value = "myname";

		//React to SearchQuery changes and map the value to a boolean.
		//Everything is automatically notified to the UI
		IsVisible = SearchQuery.Map<bool>(it => it != "");
	}

}

Transformations

//Map values to async functions
IsVisible = SearchQuery.MapAsync<bool>(it => Task.FromResult(true));


//Delay emitted values
DelayedLiveData = MyLiveData.Delay(1000);


//Debounce emitted values
Debounced = MyLiveData.Debounce(1000);


//Combine two LiveData
Combined = First.CombineWith(Second, (a, b) => a + b);


//Convert one LiveData to another LiveData
Mapped = IsVisible.SwitchMap(it => it ? SearchResultLiveData : EmptyResultLiveData);


//Concatenate transformation functions
FinalLiveData = Name.Delay(1000)
					.Debounce(800)
					.Map(name => "Hello" + name);

Utils

Extensions further simplify using and transforming LiveData objects.

//Convert task to LiveData
var task = Task.FromResult(true);
LiveData<bool> IsVisible = task.ToLiveData<bool>();

//Append, prepend, remove into LiveData of lists
//Changes are notified
LiveData<List<string>> Items;
Items.Remove("first");
Items.Append("first");
Items.Prepend("first");

LiveData and XAML Binding

Bind LiveData to xaml properties

<TextBlock Text="{Binding LiveData.Value}" />
