Configuring store

Install redux-thunk

$ npm i --save redux-thunk

Import thunk and configure store

import thunk from 'redux-thunk';

...

createStore(
        rootReducer,
        initialState,
        applyMiddleware(thunk, ...)
        );

Creating actions

export const somethingActions = {
    loadSomethingSuccess: createAction('LOAD_SOMETHING_SUCCESS', something => ({
        type: 'LOAD_SOMETHING_SUCCESS',
        payload: something
    })),

    loadSomething: createActionThunk('LOAD_SOMETHING', dispatch => {
        Promise.then(something => {
            dispatch(somethingActions.loadSomethingSuccess(something));
        }).catch(error => {
            throw(error);
        });
    })
};

// OPTIONAL - creating new action type used by reducer
const returnOfActions = Object.values(somethingActions).map(getReturnOfExpression);
export type SomethingActions = typeof returnOfActions[number];

Creating reducers

export default function somethingReducer(state: SomethingState = initialState.something, action: SomethingActions): SomethingState {
    switch (action.type) {
        case getType(somethingActions.loadSomethingSuccess):
            return action.payload;
        case getType(somethingActions.loadSomething):
            return state;
        default:
            return state;
    }
}
