reactionable v0.1.0

Reactionable

Unceremonious redux actions

Why?

If you use redux a bunch, you might have noticed a pattern:

• Create a new action type
• Make an action creator using the new type
• Create a new reducer which handles that type

Every redux type is handled differently, and actions never seem to share a type. If adding one means adding the other, why keep them separate at all?

This library is an experiment to see what happens.

Installing

It's on npm as reactionable.

yarn add reactionable

npm install reactionable --save

Now you can import it!

import {Action, Reducer} from 'reactionable'

// Or for the ES5 among you.
const {Action, Reducer} = require('reactionable')

API

There are two factory functions, Action and Reducer.

You write action creators/reducers using Action and combine them together into a reducer.

Action(String type, Object config)

Generates a new redux action creator, coupled with its reducer.

export const updateName = Action('UPDATE_NAME', {

  // Formats a redux action.
  creator: (name) => ({name}),

  // Merges that action into state.
  reducer: (state = {}, {name}) => ({ ...state, name }),
})

Reducer(actions)

Creates a redux reducer using a collection of actions. It accepts an array of actions to watch for, or an object containing actions.

import * as actions from './my-actions'
import {Reducer} from 'reactionable'

export const reducer = Reducer(actions)
