As Element Call grows in complexity, it has become a pain point that our business logic remains so tightly coupled to the UI code. In particular, this has made testing difficult, and the complex semantics of React hooks are not a great match for arbitrary business logic. Here, I show the beginnings of what it would look like for us to adopt the MVVM pattern. I've created a CallViewModel and TileViewModel that expose their state to the UI as rxjs Observables, as well as a couple of helper functions for consuming view models in React code. This should contain no user-visible changes, but we need to watch out for regressions particularly around focus switching and promotion of speakers, because this was the logic I chose to refactor first.
