redux-watch-immutable v0.0.4

Redux Watch Immutable

Watch/observe Redux store state changes using Immutable.js.

Why?

Redux-watch is a small but helpful library that associate a callback() to a path-to-the-store. Unfortunalety, it's not optimized/made to work with Immutable.js. So we took the main concept and made it work :wink:

Install

npm i --save redux-watch-immutable

Usage

setStore(store) -> store

Set your store. This is a mandatory step!

setCompareFn(function)

By default, redux-watch-immutable uses === (strict equal) operator to check for changes. This may not be want you want. Sometimes you may want to do a deep inspection. You should use either deep-equal (substack/node-deep-equal) or is-equal (ljharb/is-equal). is-equal is better since it supports ES6 types like Maps/Sets.

import isEqual from 'is-equal'
import {setCompareFn} from 'redux-watch-immutable'

setCompareFn(isEqual);

watch(objectPath , callback) -> function

Add a watcher on a specific path of the store and a callback for when the value changes. It returns a function to call when you want to unsubscribe.

The callback returns the new value, the previous one, and the current path.

Example

import {setStore, setCompareFn, watch} from 'redux-watch-immutable';
import isEqual from 'is-equal'
import store from 'store';

// First, set the store
setStore(store);

// We want to use isEqual to compare values
setCompareFn(isEqual);


// Then, add as many watchers as you need
const watcher = watch('admin.name', ::_onAdminNameChanged);

const _onAdminNameChanged = (name, prevName, path) {
	// console.log('new name!', name);
};


// Somewhere else, admin reducer handles ADMIN_UPDATE
store.dispatch({ type: 'ADMIN_UPDATE', payload: { name: 'JOE' }})


// Remove a watcher
watcher();
