The goal of LiveState is to make building highly interactive web applications easier to build. Currently in most such applications clients send requests and receive responses from and to a server API. This essentially results in two applications, with state being managed in both in an ad hoc way.
LiveState uses a different approach. Clients dispatch events, which are sent to the server to be handled, and receive updates from the server any time application state changes. This allows state to have a single source of truth, and greatly reduces client code complexity. It also works equally well for applications where updates to state can occur indepently from a user initiated client side event (think "real time" applications such as chat, etc).
This is a package to help you build clients for LiveState applications. Such clients connect to a server running live_state and send events and receive state (and possibly other events).
This version, 0.7.0, requires version 0.5.0 of later of the live_state elixir library due to the addition of version tracking for state.
