Model-Driven Architecture 
Application Development
The C3 AI Suite provides developers the flexibility needed to quickly define application user interfaces to expose AI/ML insights and data across applications built on the C3 AI Suite. The C3 AI UI Services offer native React-Redux support and leverage the C3 AI Suite’s model-driven architecture. All UI components are defined as C3 AI Models allowing developers build user interfaces quickly by only specifying component metadata. The C3 AI Suite enables developers to maintain a rich library of components and share them across the enterprise.
React-Redux Support
- Native support for React components via C3 AI Models (e.g., UIReactBase.c3typ, UIReactPage.c3typ)
- Native support for Redux data sources (e.g., UIDataRedux.c3typ)
- Easy integration with 3rd party React libraries to leverage work done by the large and growing React community
Action Triggers
- C3 AI functions that leverage the familiar Redux action creator framework and return Redux actions
- Parameterizable action creators (e.g., action type, function name, etc.)
Effects & Async Effects
- C3.ai effects that leverage familiar Redux reducer framework and allow developers to easily change UI state
- Effects that are parameterizable by state, action, and actionType
- C3.ai asynchronous effects that leverage familiar redux-observable epics framework
- Asynchronous effects that are parameterizable by actionStream, store, and actionType
Components as C3 AI Models
- Components defined as C3 AI Models, leveraging the benefits of the C3 AI Suite’s model driven architecture
- Component functionality defined on C3 AI Models as metadata, allowing for easy configuration
- Metadata-driven approach, allowing usage of components in C3 AI UI Designer, where configurations are automatically rendered in a visual interface, as well as maintenance of a rich component library
CSS Support
- Support for CSS styling and compatibility with SCSS – Sass 3, enabling developers to leverage a familiar styling language
- Custom theming available to style application in line with corporate brand guidelines
