Documentation for Maui setup

Maybe I'm just dumb but I can't get this to work with my Maui app. I got it working on Blazor, but I try to initialize my Store in the App class constructor but then I noticed that every time I try to dispatch an action I'm queueing actions and when I inject the store into other places it reads as not initialized, but I saw it get initialized in the App constructor. The store initialization kinda gets hidden with a component in Blazor so I'm not really sure what to expect here.

At the start of the app lifetime try resolving IDispatcher and IStore, then initialize the IStore.

Does that help?

[dallas1287]

It only seems to work if I inject the dispatcher, the store, and the state together. Then before each call to dispatch an action, I initialize the store, then the state change event gets raised and surprisingly the counter increments correctly even though I reinitialize the store each time. But if I don't reinitialize it, the reducer never gets called.

[dallas1287]

I take that back if i initialize it within the constructor that it gets injected then I don't have to call it each time, but it has to be within the class that it gets injected. So for example: I inject Store into App.xaml.cs constructor and initialize it there. The dispatcher that gets injected into a ContentPage viewmodel isn't valid and needs a store injected and that store has to be initialized in it's own constructor and then it works. I haven't gone deep enough to figure out what this means for something more complex than just the single counter.

Are you setting the mode to Singleton in the AddFluxor options?

[dallas1287]

yeah that totally did it. I tried that before and it didn't seem to have an effect but I must've had other variables affecting it. I broke it all back down to a minimal example and got it working with StoreLifetime.Singleton then was able to reinsert that into my larger project and get it working correctly. I don't remember what all I tinkered with that may have thrown it off, if I do I will update this thread for anyone else that runs across this.

[mrpmorris]

Glad you got it working!

I don't know MAUI at all, so if ever you'd like to help me to work out how to get a MAUI + Fluxor app running let me know, then I can write a demo app.

I think this would be incredibly useful as I attempt to figure this out myself. Especially since MAUI isn't really blazor server or wasm.

In MauiProgram.cs

builder.Services.AddFluxor(o => { o.ScanAssemblies(typeof(MauiProgram).Assembly); o.WithLifetime(StoreLifetime.Singleton); });
