PubSub

PubSub - is a main Symbiote.js entity to manipulate application data. It implements simple and well known Publication-subscribe pattern and represents all you need to organize data-flow inside your components and outside of them. It is integrated to the Symbiote base class, but also can be used separately:

import { PubSub } from '@in-wave/symbiote';

let myDataCtx = PubSub.registerCtx({
  myProp: 'some value',
  myOtherProp: 'some other value',
});
