IMessageBus interface

Defined in

Namespace: ReactiveUI.Reactive Assembly: ReactiveUI.Reactive.dll Full name: ReactiveUI.Reactive.IMessageBus Modifiers: public abstract

Summary

IMessageBus represents an object that can act as a "Message Bus", a simple way for ViewModels and other objects to communicate with each other in a loosely coupled way.

Specifying which messages go where is done via a combination of the Type of the message as well as an additional "Contract" parameter; this is a unique string used to distinguish between messages of the same Type, and is arbitrarily set by the client.

Methods

NameSummary
RegisterSchedulerRegisters a scheduler for the type, which may be specified at runtime, and the contract.
ListenListen provides an Observable that will fire whenever a Message is provided for this object via RegisterMessageSource or SendMessage.
ListenIncludeLatestListenIncludeLatest provides an Observable that will fire whenever a Message is provided for this object via RegisterMessageSource or SendMessage and fire the last provided...
IsRegisteredDetermines if a particular message Type is registered.
RegisterMessageSourceRegisters an Observable representing the stream of messages to send. Another part of the code can then call Listen to retrieve this Observable.
SendMessageSends a single message using the specified Type and contract. Consider using RegisterMessageSource instead if you will be sending messages in response to other changes such...
