React-flux-dispatcher NPM

React Dispatcher

Part of react-flux, the dispatcher will let stores register to it with callbacks. Read more about FLUX and the dispatcher over at Facebook Flux.

Download from dist: ReactDispatcher.min.js or install with npm install react-flux-dispatcher.

Scope

Has a register method for registering callbacks to stores
Has a dispatch method for dispatching a payload to all stores
The callback on register receives the payload and a waitFor function
The waitFor function is used to wait for specific stores to finish their registered callback before continuing
The waitFor method gives errors if circular dependencies occur
The waitFor callback is bound to the store and receives the payload, for conveniance
The waitFor method takes either a single store or an array of stores
The dispatcher works with common module loaders

Example

var ReactDispatcher = require('ReactDispatcher');
var Dispatcher = new ReactDispatcher();

var StoreA = {
	dispatch: function () {}
};

var StoreB = {
	data: {},
	handleData: function (payload) {
		this.data = payload.data;
	},
	dispatch: function (payload, waitFor) {
		switch (payload.type) {
			case 'update':
				waitFor(StoreA, this.handleData);
				break;
		}
	}

};
Dispatcher.register(StoreA, StoreA.dispatch); // Binds the callback to the store
Dispatcher.register(StoreB, StoreB.dispatch);
Dispatcher.dispatch({});
