React-MVx is the MVVM SPA framework with React as View layer, built upon frontend technologies used at Volicon/Verizon for 3 years.
Contrary to the popular React approaches, React-MVx does not try to avoid the distributed mutable application state. Instead, it is focused on bringing stateful components capabilities to their maximum.
React-MVx manages both local UI state and application domain state with the same universal state container provided by Type-R data framework. It supports:
- two-way data binding
- declarative state validation
- nested data structures & observable changes
- painless state synchronization
- automatic JSON serialization
React-MVx application architecture follows scalable MVVM architecture pattern. It features the unidirectional data flow and pure render optimization. But contrary to the popular React state management solutions:
- It doesn't rely on singletons (unless you really need some data to be shared across pages)
- It assists and encourages usage of locally encapsulated state and OO decomposition.

Supported browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE10+.
Requires react and type-r as peer dependencies. Installation (assuming that React is installed):
`npm install react-mvx type-r --save-dev`
The best way to start is to use the boilerplate which already has babel, webpack 2, and minimal set of required dependencies configured.
TypeScript is unsupported (yet) but may work.
