redux-promise-queue-middleware v0.0.4

redux-promise-queue-middleware

A simple redux middleware to chain async actions using promises

Install

npm install --save redux-promise-queue-middleware

Usage

Import the middleware, initialize and add it to Redux store using applyMiddleware function:

import {createStore, applyMiddleware} from 'redux'
import promiseQueueMiddleware from 'redux-promise-queue-middleware'

let createStoreAndApplyMiddleware = applyMiddleware(
    //others middleware...
    promiseQueueMiddleware(),
    //others middleware...
)(createStore);

The queue middleware will sequence all the actions that specify the "queue" parameter in the action object:

function actionToEnqueue(){
    return {
        type: 'ACTION-TYPE'
        queue:{
            id: 'QUEUE-NAME'
            promise: new Promise((resolve)=>{ 
                        console.log('async action begin');
                        setTimeout(()=>{
                            console.log('async action resolved');
                            resolve()
                        },2000);
                   }
            //other options
        }
    }
}

Usage with promise middleware

If you already use a middleware for managing promises you can add the promiseQueueMiddleware before it to manage queues without affecting its behavior:

import {createStore, applyMiddleware} from 'redux'
import promiseQueueMiddleware from 'redux-promise-queue-middleware'
//import promiseMiddleware from 'promise-middleware-lib'

let createStoreAndApplyMiddleware = applyMiddleware(
    //promiseMiddleware goes here
    promiseQueueMiddleware(),
    //others middleware...
)(createStore);

In this case you can avoid filling the promise option and let your promise middleware to handle and return the promise to schedule.
