Flux is the application architecture that Facebook uses for building client-side web applications with React. It complements React's composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow.

Flux applications have three major parts: the dispatcher(s), the store(s), and the view(s) (React components).

Flux eschews MVC in favor of a unidirectional data flow. When a user interacts with a React view, the view propagates an action through a central dispatcher, to the various stores that hold the application's data and business logic, which updates all of the views that are affected. This works especially well with React's declarative programming style, which allows the store to send updates without specifying how to transition views between states.

How to avoid action chains
