Phlux NPM | npm.io

Phlux

Build simple stores for your reactive data.

This is a minimalistic approach to Flux to be used with React.

Installation

npm install phlux

Usage

`Phlux.createStore(Object protostore)`

Returns a PhluxStore, which includes methods for storing and retrieving reactive data.

Accepts an object as the protostore, whose properties will be copied into the store. If the protostore includes data, it will be accepted as the inital data for the store.

var Phlux = require("phlux")

Phlux.createStore()
// {
//     data: {},
//     trigger: function() {...},
//     addListener: function() {...},
//     listeners: [...]
// }

Phlux.createStore({
    data: {
        message: "Hello World!"
    }
})
// {
//     data: {
//         message: "Hello World!"
//     },
//     trigger: function() {...},
//     addListener: function() {...},
//     listeners: [...]
// }

Phlux.createStore({
    data: {
        message: "Hello World!"
    },
    sayMessage: function() {
        console.log(this.data.message)
    }
})
// {
//     data: {
//         message: "Hello World!"
//     },
//     sayMessage: function() {
//         console.log(this.data.message)
//     },
//     trigger: function() {...},
//     addListener: function() {...},
//     listeners: [...]
// }

`Phlux.connectStore(PhluxStore store, String label)`

Returns a mixin which will bind the state of a ReactComponent to the state of a PhluxStore. Whenever store.trigger() is called, the componet will be updated such that component.state.label returns store.data.

var React = require("react")
var Phlux = require("phlux")

var DudeStore = Phlux.createStore({
    data: {
        name: "Andrew"
    }
})

var Dude = React.createClass({
    mixins: [
        Phlux.connectStore(DudeStore, "dude")
    ],
    render: function() {
        return (
            <div>
                My name is {this.state.dude.name}
            </div>
        )
    }
})

`PhluxStore.initiateStore()`

Called after the store has been constructed.

Phlux.createStore({
    data: {
        value: 2
    },
    initiateStore: function() {
        this.data.value += 2
    }
})
// {
//     data: {
//         value: **4**
//     },
//     initiateStore: function() {
//         this.data.value += 2
//     },
//     trigger: function() {...},
//     addListener: function() {...},
//     listeners: [...]
// }
