• Flux is an architecture for unidirectional or one-way data flow.
• If any data needs to be updated, the flow starts all over from the beginning.
• This solves the issue of multiple models updating multiple views at the same time.

Actions -> dispatchers -> store -> view

# Action creator

• the "telegraph operator"
• creates an action with a type and a payload
• types are usually constants stored in a single file. this is helpful not only because it keeps things organize but also allows you to look over all the possible state changes in the codebase
• actions can be asynchronous

# Dispatcher

• mutaters, reducers
• updates stores synchronously
• subscribes to actions
• filters out what it cares about

# Store

• a global singleton that holds the state of the application
• to change its state, you must follow proper procedure
