## 🎯 Goals of the System
|
|
The AppFlowy project is an attempt to build a high performance application. Here are the top-level requirements for our system.
|
|
|
|
1. **High Performance.**
|
|
2. **Cross-platform.**
|
|
3. **Reliability.**
|
|
4. **Safety.**
|
|

### 📙 Event Dispatch

|
|
Here is the event flow:
|
|
1. User click on the `Widget`(The user interface) that invokes the `Bloc` actions
|
|
2. `Bloc` calls the repositories to perform additional operations to handle the actions.
|
|
3. `Repository` offers the functionalities by combining the event, defined in the `FlowySDK`.
|
|
4. `Events` will be passed in the `FlowySDK` through the [FFI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_function_interface) interface.
|
|
5. `Dispatcher` parses the event and generates the specific action scheduled in the `FlowySDK` runtime.
|
|
6. `Dispatcher` find the event handler declared by the modules.
|
|
7. `Handler` consumes the event and generates the response. The response will be returned to the widget through the `FFI`.
|
|
|
|
The event flow will be discussed in two parts: the frontend implemented in flutter and the FlowySDK implemented in Rust.
|
|
|
|
#### FlowySDK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Frontend
|
|
The Frontend follows the DDD design pattern, you can recap from [**here**](DOMAIN_DRIVEN_DESIGN.md).
