redux-defmap v1.0.6

redux-defmap

Bring structure to redux applications

Why?

• Actions, reducers and middleware in one file
• Action consts defined only once
• Clear structure / framework
• Payload validation

Installation

npm install --save redux-defmap

createStore

Create your store redux-like.

store.js

import actions from './actions'
import actionDefinitions from './actionDefinitions';
import { extractActions, extractMiddleware, extractReducer, createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux-defmap'

const middleware = extractMiddleware(actionDefinitions, actions) // (context: actions)
const reducer = extractReducer(actionDefinitions)
const initialState = { }

export default createStore(reducer, initialState, applyMiddleware(middleware), actions);

actions.js

import { extractActions } from 'redux-defmap'
import actionDefinitions from './actionDefinitions';

export default extractActions(actionDefinitions);

actionDefinitions.js

import { isArray, isObject, isString, isBoolean, isDate, isNumber } from 'lodash';

export default {
    APP_START: {
        fireAppStart: () => null,
        $after: (context, state, payload) => { // (context: actions)
            context.showLogo();
        }
    },
    SHOW_LOGO: {
        showLogo: () => true,
        hideLogo: () => false,
        $validation: isBoolean,
        $reduce: (state, payload) => ({
            ...state,
            showLogo: payload
        })
    },
    SHOW_ERROR: {
        showError: (message) => ({
            message
        }),
        hideError: () => ({
            message: null
        }),
        $validation: {
            message: m => !m || isString(m) // can be empty or a string
        },
        $reduce: (state, payload) => ({
            ...state,
            showError: !!payload,
            errorMessage: payload
        })
    }

extractStore

Create your store defmap-like.

const store = extractStore({
    app: {
        // feature #1: Initial State
        $state: {
            count: 0
        }

        TEST: {
            test: a => ({ count: 1 }),

            $before: ...,
            $after: ...,

            $reduce: (state, payload) => ({
                ...state,
                count: payload.count
            })
        }
    },
    extra: {
        $state: { test: 1 },

        // feature #2: Extra Middleware
        $middleware: someMiddleware, // store => next => action => { ... }

        // feature #3: Extra Reducer
        $reducer: someReducer, //  // (state, action) => { ... }
    }
})

State before calling store.actions.test()

{
    app: {
        count: 0
    },
    extra: {
        test: 1
    }
}

State after calling store.actions.test()

{
    app: {
        count: 1
    },
    extra: {
        test: 1
    }
}

extractActions

extractActions(defmap: ActionDefinitionMap, dispatch: Function)

• defmap* ActionDefinitionMap
• dispatch Function to receive the actions (e.g. store.dispatch) OPTIONAL

// ActionDefinitionMap
{
    ACTION_NAME: {
        actionCreator1: (arg) => arg, // actionCreator2('hello') => { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: 'hello' },
        actionCreator2: (arg) => { arg }, // actionCreator2('hello') => { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: { arg: 'hello' } },
        actionCreator3: (arg1, arg2) => arg1 + arg2, // actionCreator3(1, 1) => { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: 2 },
        actionCreator4: () => null, // dispatches { type: 'ACTION_NAME' },
        actionCreator5: () => undefined, // dispatches NOTHING,

        // OPTIONAL meta information
        // { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: { ... }, meta: { someProperty: 'ANY' } },
        $meta: {
            someProperty: 'ANY'
        }
    }
}

actions/app.js

export default {
    LOADING: {
        setLoading: (on) => ({
            show: on
        }),
        showLoading: () => ({
            show: true
        }),
        hideLoading: () => ({
            show: false
        })
        /* Add more functions here ... */
    },
}

actions/index.js

import { extractActions } from 'redux-defmap';

import store from './store';
import app from './app';

export default extractActions(app, store.dispatch); // dispatch actions to store OPTIONAL

some_file.js

import actions from './actions';

actions.showLoading(); // dispatches AND returns { type: 'LOADING', payload: { show: true } }

extractReducer

extractReducer(defmap: ReducerDefinitionMap)

• defmap* ReducerDefinitionMap

// ReducerDefinitionMap
{
    ACTION_NAME: {

        $reduce: (store, payload) => ({
            ...store
            // ...
        })

        // equals ...

        $reduce: (store, payload) => {
            return {
                ...store
                // ...
            }
        }

        // Payload validation (simple) OPTIONAL
        $validation: p => typeof p === 'string'
        // OK: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: 'Hello World' }
        // OK: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: '' }
        // BAD: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: 12 }
        // BAD: { type: 'ACTION_NAME' }

        // Payload validation (complex) OPTIONAL
        $validation: {
            prop: p => typeof p === 'string'
        }
        // OK: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: { prop: 'Hello World' } }
        // OK: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: { prop: '' } }
        // BAD: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: { prop: 12 } }
        // BAD: { type: 'ACTION_NAME', payload: null }
        // BAD: { type: 'ACTION_NAME' }
    }
}

extractMiddleware

extractMiddleware(defmap: MiddlewareDefinitionMap, context: any, stateKey: string)

• defmap* MiddlewareDefinitionMap
• context Any kind of value that gets simply passed to the events $before and $after (You should put in the actions here)
• stateKey String that defines a partial state (e.g. 'app', 'router', ... | influences the 'state' variable in the event callbacks $before and $after)

// MiddlewareDefinitionMap
{
    ACTION_NAME: {

        // Before reducing OPTIONAL
        $before: (context, state, payload) => {
            // Do something
        }

        // After reducing OPTIONAL
        $after: (context, state, payload) => {
            // Do something (e.g. call other actions)
        }

    }
}
