Core Concepts Guide

Master Ellifpita's fundamental patterns and architectural principles.

Overview

Ellifpita is built on a set of core architectural principles that enable powerful reactive applications through decoupled communication.

Decoupled Communication

Components interact without direct references through publish/subscribe semantics.

Scalable Architecture

Modular design for building applications from microservices to monoliths.

Architecture

Architecture Layers

Event layer - Handles message broadcasting
Component layer - Reusable, context-aware modules
Service layer - Persistent background processes

System Flow

1. User action triggers event
2. Event propagates through registered listeners
3. Services process and dispatch responses
4. UI updates via reactive bindings

Core Components

Events

The primary communication mechanism in Ellifpita's architecture.

Components

Re-usable, encapsulated modules that maintain their own state.

Reactivity

Automatic UI updates when component data changes.

Design Patterns

Common Patterns

Event Aggregator
Combine multiple event streams into a single processor

Debounced Events

Delay handling for user input patterns like search
