sovereignty v0.2.1

Sovereignty

Utility library for managing state changes in frameworks such as redux

Setup

$npm i sovereignty

To run the test file

$npm run test

Examples

At the top of your reducer (Note: SovereignState is for object primitive states it will not work for other data structures and this library is not for you)

import SovereignState from 'sovereignty';

const initialState = {
  data: [],
  currentContactId: '',
  isFetching: false,
}

const storeUtils = new SovereignState(initialState);

Note: The keys in your initial state and the name of the constructor for the values in your initial state will be used for validations. If you need a field without type validations your initial state should have the initial value be null;

SovereignState.prototype.update and SovereignState.prototype.mixedUpdate function similarly to Object.assign (MDN).

When you simply want to update state use update():

handleActions({
  GET_CONTACTS: (state, action) => {
    const newData = action.payload.data;
    
    return storeUtils.update(state, { data: newData });
  },

When you're concerned about falsey values use mixedUpdate():

handleActions({
  GET_ACCOUNT: (state, action) => {
    const { contacts, currentContact } = action.payload.data.contacts;

    return storeUtils.mixedUpdate(
      state,
      { data: contacts },
      currentContact && { currendContactId: currentContact.id },
    );
  },
