redux-coreapi v0.1.1

redux-coreapi

redux-coreapi is a minimal interface between Redux and Core API JavaScript clients. More specifically, redux-coreapi dispatches Redux actions for Core API action and document request-response cycles, allowing Core API clients to be integrated simply into Redux applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

redux-coreapi does not have any prerequisites or direct dependencies, but it is assumed that it will be used alongside redux and coreapi.

Installation

Install with npm

$ npm i redux-coreapi

or yarn

$ yarn add redux-coreapi

Usage

Begin by applying the redux-coreapi middleware to the store. For example:

import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux'
import { coreapiMiddleware } from 'redux-coreapi'
import reducer from './reducer'

const store = createStore(
  reducer,
  applyMiddleware(coreapiMiddleware)
)

Use the get and action action creators to make Core API document and action requests, respectively.

import coreapi from 'coreapi'
import { action, get } from 'redux-coreapi'
import document from './path/to/existing/document'

const client = new coreapi.Client()

// Load a Core API schema document
store.dispatch(get(client, 'https://example.com/api/v1/schema'))

// Send a request to create a new object
store.dispatch(action(
  client,
  document,
  ['objects', 'create'],
  {
    name: 'Example',
    description: 'redux-coreapi example object',
  }
))

API

Full API documentation is available in docs/api.md file or at https://bitsick.github.io/redux-coreapi/api.md.

get(client, url)

Make a Core API document request.

Parameters

• client (coreapi.Client) The Core API client instance with which the request will be made.
• url (string) The URL of the document to request.

Returns

(Object) A Redux action for the Core API get request.

action(client, document, keys, [params])

Make a Core API action request.

Parameters

• client (coreapi.Client) The Core API client instance with which the request will be made.
• document (coreapi.Document) The Core API document describing the API to which the request will be sent.
• keys (string[]) An array of strings describing the action to request. For example, ["users", "list"] or ["widgets", 0, "update"].
• [params] (Object) Optional data to include with the request. The structure of the object depends on the action being requested.

Returns

(Object) A Redux action for the Core API action request.
