rebels v0.1.4

rebels

Flux simplified.

Finding action creators and dispatchers too confusing? rebels takes away that complexity by exposing a minimal API surface area for you and abstracting away the details.

Store

Expose your actions via constants, subclass Store to add your application logic and listen for actions via listenForAction(type, (payload) => {}):

import {Store} from 'rebels';

export const INCREMENT_THE_COUNT = Symbol('INCREMENT_THE_COUNT');

class TheStore extends Store {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this._count = 0;

        this.listenForAction(INCREMENT_THE_COUNT, (payload)=>{
            console.log(payload);
            let {amount} = payload;
            this._count += amount;
            this.emitChange();
        });
    }

    get count() {
        return this._count;
    }
}

export default TheStore.defaultStore;

Components

Subclass Component, then register your store updates with updateFromStore(store, callback):

import React from 'react';
import {Component} from 'rebels';

import store, {INCREMENT_THE_COUNT} from './../stores/TheStore';

export default class TheButton extends Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = {
            count: 0
        };

        this.updateForStore(store, () => {
            this.setState({
                count: store.count
            });
        });
    }

    render() {
        return <button onClick={()=>{
            this.dispatchAction(INCREMENT_THE_COUNT, {amount:1});
        }}>Hello {this.state.count}</button>
    }
}

Actions

Simply use dispatchAction(type, payload) from either your Store or Component. We recommend having a single store listening for your action, but you can place action type constants in a centralized location if you have multiple stores.

Handling API requests

We recommend triggering your network request from the store responsible for storing that data. You can dispatch an action when your requests completes.
