Getting started
The basic implementation of rx-react-store is simple. However, to make the most of it, it's recommended to have basic knowledge on:
- React
- Higher-Order Components (HOCs)
- Flux
- RxJs
Installation
npm i --save @zazapeta/rx-react-store
Data flow
1. You call store.dispatch(reducer, ...rest)
A reducer
is a pure function . It only computes the next state. It should be completely predictable: calling it with the same inputs many times should produce the same outputs. It shouldn't perform any side effects like API calls or router transitions. These should happen before an action is dispatched.
You can call store.dispatch(reducer, ...rest) from anywhere in your app, including components and XHR callbacks, or even at scheduled intervals.
2. The store calls the reducer
function you gave it
The store will pass n
arguments to the reducer: the first is the current state, rest of arguments are passing with ...rest
. For example :
function setAppCfg(state, title, theme){
return { ...state, title, theme };
}
/*
dipatch : store.dispatch(setTitle, 'My new title', 'dark')
*/
3. The store save the new state given by reducer
Every connected registered with store.connect()(component)
will now be rerender.
Because
component.setState
is async, thestore.dispatch
is also async by nature.
Basic starting guide
Store
app.store.js
import RxStore from '@zazapeta/rx-react-store';
let store = new RxStore();
// setup middlewares
store.AfterGlobalParalel.set('InfoLogger', (state, reducer) =>
console.info(`[${reducer.name}] STATE:`, state),
);
export default store;
Reducers
app.reducers.js
export function setStitle(state, title){
return {...state, title };
}
Dispatchers
app.dispatchers.js
import appStore from './app.store.js';
import * as appReducers from './app.reducers.js';
export default appStore.createDispatchers(appReducers);
Connected Component (aka Container Component)
App.container.jsx
import appStore from './app.store.js';
function App({title}){
return (
<div>
<h1>{title}</h1>
</div>
);
}
export default appStore.connect()(App);
AnOther.jsx
import appDispatchers from './app.dispatchers.js';
export default function InputTitle(){
return <input type='text' onBlur={(e) => appDispatchers.setTitle(e.target.value)} />
}
Each time the input will be blurred, App.container.jsx will rerender with the new value of the title input
. Throttle implemntation is up to you.
