Unidirectional data flow on Android using Kotlin

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

A runnable Kotlin sample app (two screens, item list with add/edit/delete) demonstrates a unidirectional store that uses Kotlin sealed classes for exhaustive reducers, keeps immutable state and actions, and runs with a pure Kotlin store, no Android dependencies, so domain logic is unit-testable. Side effects are optional; a persistence side effect toggles on/off in the demo and when enabled repopulates state after restart, showing the approach works end-to-end.
