Nl-flux-native NPM

NL Flux

An ES6 Flux library that includes:

Flux
FluxNative
Store

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install nl-flux-native

###React Native Usage

// Using an ES6 transpiler for React Native apps
import {Store} from 'nl-flux';
import {Flux as FluxNative} from 'nl-flux-native';

// not using an ES6 transpiler
var Flux = require('nl-flux-native').FluxNative;
var Store = require('nl-flux').Store;

How to use

A complete example can be found in the nl-react-skeleton. Below is an example of an action and a store.

Store:

import {Store} from 'nl-flux';
import {Flux as FluxNative} from 'nl-flux-native';
import {Map} from 'immutable';

class App extends Store {
  initialState() {
    return {
      test: 'default'
    };
  }

  onAction(type, data, state) {
    switch(type) {
      case 'APP_TEST':
        return state.set('test', data.demo);
      case 'APP_RESET':
        return Map(this.initialState());
      default:
        return state;
    }
  }
}

export default Flux.registerStore(App);

Action:

import {Flux as FluxNative} from 'nl-flux-native';

const AppActions = {
  test: (str) => {
    Flux.dispatch({type: 'APP_TEST', demo: str});
  }
};

export default AppActions;

Component:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Flux} from '../flux';

// Enable console debugger
Flux.enableDebugger();

export default class AppView extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    
    // Initial state
    this.state = {
      myTest: ''
    };

    // Bind methods
    this.onAppTest = this.onAppTest.bind(this);
  }
  
  componentWillMount() {
    // Add listeners
    Flux.on('APP_TEST', this.onAppTest);
    
    // Initialize
    AppActions.test('Hello World');
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    Flux.off('APP_TEST', this.onAppTest);
  }
  
  onAppTest() {
    // Gets the immutable store
    const myTest = Flux.getStore(['app', 'test']);
    
    // Show the output in the console
    console.log('onAppTest::myTest', myTest);
    
    // Set state to re-render component
    this.setState({myTest});
  }
  
  render() {
    return <div>{this.state.myTest}</div>
  }
};

export default AppActions;

API

`on(eventType, data)`

Adds an event listener. It is called any time an action is dispatched to Flux, and some part of the state tree may potentially have changed. You may then call getStore() to read the current state tree inside the callback.

Arguments

eventType (String): Event to subscribe for store updates.
listener (Function): The callback to be invoked any time an action has been dispatched.

`off()`

Removes the event listener.

eventType (String): Event to unsubscribe.
listener (Function): The callback associated with the subscribed event.

`dispatch(action)`

Dispatches an Action to all stores

action (Object): An action object. The only required property is type which will indicate what is called in the stores, all other properties will be sent to the store within the data object.

`getStore(name)`

Get the state tree. If only a particular store is needed, it can be specified.

name (String): (optional) A store name.

`getClass(name)`

Get the store class object.

name (String): Name of the store class.

`registerStore(Class)`

Registers the store with Flux.

Class (Class): The store class.

#####Returns

A new object from the class. This is usually exported at the end of the store class.

`deregisterStore(name)`

Unregisters the store with Flux.

name (String): Name of store to remove from Flux.

`getSessionData(key)`

Get an object from sessionStorage.

key (String): Key of object to retrieve.

#####Returns

An Immutable object or a string.

`setSessionData(key, value)`

Save an object to sessionStorage.

key (String): Key to reference object.
value (String|Object|Immutable): A string or object to save. Immutable objects will be converted to JSON. All objects will converted to a string before saving.

`delSessionData(key)`

Remove an object from sessionStorage.

key (String): Key of object to delete.

`getLocalData(key)`

Get an object from localStorage.

key (String): Key of object to retrieve.

#####Returns

An Immutable object or a string.

`setLocalData(key, value)`

Save an object to localStorage.

key (String): Key to reference object.
value (String|Object|Immutable): A string or object to save. Immutable objects will be converted to JSON. All objects will converted to a string before saving.
