Redacs

Experimental project to see what happens with redux if reducers and actions are combined into reducer actions.

Why?

Redux is great for complex application. When writing simpler applications though, I've found that there is often a one-to-one relationship between actions and reducers. This is an experiment to see what happens if we combine them into reducer actions.

Also, the name is quite funny.

Example

This is a simple reducer action that adds a todo:

const initialState = {
  todos: []
};

const store = createStore(initialState);

function addTodo(id, description, completed) {
  return function(state) {
    return Object.assign({}, state, { todos: [...state.todos, { id, description, completed });
  }
}

store.dispatch(addTodo(1, 'a new todo', false));

The interface for the store is the same as for redux so it should work with redux-react for example.
