Airbnb MvRx Early Look

SimpleDemo.kt

data class SimpleDemoState(val listing: Async<Listing> = Uninitialized)

class SimpleDemoViewModel(override val initialState: SimpleDemoState) : MvRxViewModel<SimpleDemoState>() {
    init {
        fetchListing()
    }

    private fun fetchListing() {
        // This automatically fires off a request and maps its response to Async<Listing>
        // which is a sealed class and can be: Unitialized, Loading, Success, and Fail.
        // No need for separate success and failure handlers!
        // This request is also lifecycle-aware. It will survive configuration changes and
        // will never be delivered after onStop.
        ListingRequest.forListingId(12345L).execute { copy(listing = it) }
    }
}

class SimpleDemoFragment : MvRxFragment() {
    // This will automatically subscribe to the ViewModel state and rebuild the epoxy models
    // any time anything changes. Similar to how React's render method runs for every change of
    // props or state.
    private val viewModel by fragmentViewModel(SimpleDemoViewModel::class)

    override fun EpoxyController.buildModels() {
        val (state) = withState(viewModel)
        if (state.listing is Loading) {
            loader()
            return
        }
        // These Epoxy models are not the views themself so calling buildModels is cheap. RecyclerView
        // diffing will be automaticaly done and only the models that changed will re-render.
        documentMarquee {
            title(state.listing().name)
        }
        // Put the rest of your Epoxy models here...
    }

    override fun EpoxyController.buildFooter() = fixedActionFooter {
        val (state) = withState(viewModel)
        buttonLoading(state is Loading)
        buttonText(state.listing().price)
        buttonOnClickListener { _ -> }
    }
}

Is there any MvRx early version published anywhere?

Hopefully, we can see more soon. It would great to involve the Open Source community, so we can see if it's something we want to contribute to.
