Redux-saga-models NPM

#redux-saga-models

Models layer backed with redux-saga.

Library is NOT ready for production yet.

Installation

npm install --save redux-saga-models

Features

Sagas to handle dispatched actions
Mixins (see example of mixin in mininx/crud and test/crud.specs.js)
Grouping models (see test/index.specs.js -- create models)
Dispatch actions from any place of application (thanks to machadogj for idea)

Simple usage

Defining a model:

models/user.js

import { createModel } from 'redux-saga-models';

const user = createModel({
  name: 'user',
  methods: {
    login(username, password) {
      // async operation. something like this:
      // return fetch('/users/login', { username, password });
    },
    findById(id) {
      // async operation. something like this:
      // return fetch(`/users/${id}`);
    }
  }
});

export default user;
export const { reducer, sagas, selectors } = user;

And we create follwing artifacts:

reducer -- model's reducer.

sagas -- array of created sagas.

selectors -- methods that returns current model state. For example, after calling user.findById('me') you can receive data like this:

const { result, fetching, fetched } = user.selectors.findById('me');

Using newly created model in submit handler:

containers/LoginForm.js

import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { put } from 'react-router-redux';
import LoginForm from '../components/LoginForm.js';
import user from '../models/user.js';

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
  onSubmit: ({ username, password }) => 
    user.login(username, password)
      .then(() => dispatch(put('/')))
};

const LoginFormContainer = connect(null, mapDispatchToProps)(LoginForm);
export default LoginFormContainer;

Also you can define custom reducer and selectors:

models/user.js

const user = createModel({
  ...
  reducers: {
    login: (state, action) => {
      return !action.error && action.payload ? action.payload.token : null;
    }
  },

  selectors: {
    token() {
      return this.getModelState().login;
    }
  }
  ...
});
