Declarative and reactive data layer for component-based user interfaces

A computing system that includes a processor, memory, and one or more storage devices implementing a database system, the computing system operable to perform a method comprising:

• receiving via a communication interface at a server a request to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation at a client machine;
• generating via a processor a wire web component graph that includes a plurality of nodes, a first subset of the nodes corresponding to a plurality of wire web components included in the GUI, a second subset of the nodes corresponding to a plurality of application procedure interfaces (APIs) from which to retrieve a plurality of data values included in the wire web components when the GUI is displayed;
• and
• transmitting from the server to the client machine one or more GUI messages based at least in part on the wire web component graph, the one or more GUI messages including designated computer programming code configured to cause the client machine to retrieve one or more of the data values from one or more of the APIs and to display the GUI including the retrieved data values at the client machine.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for performing a method, the method comprising:

• receiving via a communication interface at a server a request to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation at a client machine;
• generating via a processor a wire web component graph that includes a plurality of nodes, a first subset of the nodes corresponding to a plurality of wire web components included in the GUI, a second subset of the nodes corresponding to a plurality of application procedure interfaces (APIs) from which to retrieve a plurality of data values included in the wire web components when the GUI is displayed;
• and
• transmitting from the server to the client machine one or more GUI messages based at least in part on the wire web component graph, the one or more GUI messages including designated computer programming code configured to cause the client machine to retrieve one or more of the data values from one or more of the APIs and to display the GUI including the retrieved data values at the client machine.
