react-easy-store v0.1.20

React Easy Store

React Store made easy.

Motivation

Redux is cool, but I have never understood, why do I need to write so much boilerplate just to change (global) state, which would update my component with new data. With this store I have iterated to the store which API is simple, yet it does the job.

Current Version

0.1.20 - should be without issues, but I keep it still under development version as there are few things I would like to extend.

Installation

npm install react-easy-store --save

Usage

Connecting with state in store

connect = (Component as ReactComponent) => (storeProps as object) => (otherProps as object) => void

Example

import store from 'react-easy-store'
import LoginComponent from './components/LoginComponent.js' //your whatever component connected to with store entries

const LoginContainer = store.connect(MyComponent)({
  loginUsername: "username"
})()

In this use case MyComponent will be injected with prop loginUsername which will equal to value from store with key username. So the key is your prop name and value is string which refers to key of an entry in the store.

You can use otherProps if you need to inject additional properties to your component:

const LoginContainer = store.connect(MyComponent)({
  loginUsername: "username"
})({
  login: (data) => doLogin(data),
  showPassword: true
})

Updating state in store

setState = (newState as object) => void

Example

import store from 'react-easy-store'
...
store.setState({
  username: "john.doe"
});

This will automatically force render method of LogicContainer component and the view gets updated. This can be called from Redux-like actions or wherever else (depends on the choice of your architecture).

Getting state from store

getState = (...stateKeys) => object

Example

import store from 'react-easy-store'
...
const {username, errorMessage} = store.getState("username", "errorMessage");

username and errorMessage will be set to values of the store entries with the corresponding keys. Note, that in case of updating the store values, these won't be updated as getState only returns current state in the time of invocation.

Additional Notes

• library uses react-stamp under the hood and connect returns Stamp, so you can use the features of that concept, if you wish
• in case of finding a bug, do not hesitate to report it
