The reason why we decided to implement the Flux architecture in our React application is that we wanted to have a data flow that is easier to maintain. In the previous chapter, we implemented AppDispatcher, TweetActionCreators, and TweetStore. Let's quickly re-cap what they are used for:
TweetActionCreatorscreates and dispatches the actionsAppDispatcherdispatches all the actions to all storesTweetStorestores and manages the application data
The only missing parts in our data flow are bits of functionality that are as follows:
Use
TweetActionCreatorsto create the actions and start the data flowingUse
TweetStoreto get data
Here are some important questions to ask: Where in our application does the data flow start? What is our data? If we answer these questions, we will understand where to start refactoring our application to adapt to the Flux architecture.
