RxSwift + MVVM, my favorite solution

Let’s go through two different approaches to providing inputs (Rx Events) to ViewModels.

I began to follow this pattern when developing Mango and it’s quickly become one of my favorite and most powerful ways to connect View Models to their controllers. I’ve continued the pattern into Caramel 2 and without a doubt it’s a way I’ll continue to organize code in future projects, even when moving away from RxSwift (someday… maybe sooner than later) or in other language based projects.

One of my biggest struggles with RxSwift was organizing different pipes of data, but by the following and input/output methodology, decluttering and cleanly organizing your channels is a breeze.

Overall A+ and one of my favorite pieces out there. I’ve been learning a lot about RxSwift over the years, but I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get in the loop!
