Motivation

You don't need to create reducers for rest-api data
You should create reducers only for business front-end logic

Features

  1. Simple actionCreator for any of your async library
  2. Normalization state
  3. Auto create reducers
  4. Simple single selector for all your actions

Overview

Redux-Tide - Do not force you to use only it,
This is a small library helping you create normalization, actions, reducers and selector
You can use it with any of other libraries
You can add redux tide in any even old/new project
Redux tide - it's concept for save your backend data, normalize, and selector for it

Usage

  1. You might install library
npm install redux-tide --save

  1. Install normalizr, redux, react-redux, redux-thunk, you can use help Complementary Packages

  2. Define entity-schema

    // entity-schema.js
    import {schema} from 'normalizr'
     
    const postsSchema = new schema.Entity('posts')
    const commentsSchema = new schema.Entity('comments')
     
    postsSchema.define({
      comments: [commentsSchema]
    })
    commentsSchema.define({
      post: postsSchema
    })
       
    const appSchema = {
      commentsSchema,
      postsSchema
    }
            
    export {
        postsSchema,
        commentsSchema,
        appSchema
    }
         

  3. Modify your store.js file

    // store.js
    import {denormalize} from 'normalizr';
    import {createReducers, setDefaultResponseMapper, setDenormalize} from 'redux-tide';
    import {appSchema} from './entity-schema'
     
    // required
    setDenormalize(denormalize)
     
    // not required
    setDefaultResponseMapper((resp) => {
      // your response
      return resp.data
    })
     
    // your store
    export default createStore(
      combineReducers({
        // your reducers
        ...createReducers(...appSchema)
      }),
      initialState,
      composedEnhancers
    )
        

  4. Ready! Now you can use it. Create action

Action

Example of RestApi class source
You can look entity-schema.js example from Usage section

import {createAction} from 'redux-tide';
import {del, get, post, put} from '../RESTApi'
import {postsSchema} from 'entity-schema';
import {OPEN_EDIT} from './action-types'
 
/**

How to reset action store data?

When you need to force a clear state of action, please use

dispatch(createNewPost.empty())

OR

dispatch(getPostById.withPrefix(props.postId).empty())

How to use one action with array of connected components ?

Please read Create one action for different entity id section and Other options to create an action
And look examples:
different-entity-id-example
different-entity-id-source

Create one action for different entity id

If you want to create 1 action get || post || put || delete
for work with single entity but multiple entity ids, for example: GET post/:postId
You should be use action.withPrefix method - it's generate new uniq action id and new uniq action reducer state

For details you can look example:
different-entity-id-example
different-entity-id-source

if you dont't make it - your next call dispatch(getPostById(nextPostId))
overwrite your preview call data dispatch(getPostById(prevPostId))

// actions.js
import {createAction} from 'redux-tide';
import {del, get, post, put} from '../RESTApi'
import {postsSchema} from 'entity-schema';
 
// write main action
export const getPostById = createAction(
    postsSchema, 
    get, 
    postId => `posts/${postId}?_embed=comments` // url with property postId
)
 
// component.js
import {getActionData} from 'redux-tide';
import {getPostById} from './actions';
 
// WRONG connect!
export default connect(
  // your selector does not have uniq post Id, so data is rewrited
  (state, props) => getActionData(getPostById),
  dispatch => {
    // your selector does not have uniq post Id, so data is rewrited
    fetch: (postId) => dispatch(getPostById(postId))
  }
)(SomeComponent)
 
// CORRECT connect
// you can use this connect with different postId
export default connect(
  // selector get state of getPostById but reducer key named with postId
  (state, props) => getActionData(getPostById.withPrefix(props.postId)), 
  dispatch => {
    // action call getPostById but dispatch TYPE make with prefix postId
    fetch: (postId) => dispatch(getPostById.withPrefix(postId)(postId))
  }
)(SomeComponent)
 
// common-component.js
import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {PostFormComponent} from './component'
 
export default class ComponentWrapper extends Component {
  render(){
    return(<PostFormComponent postId={this.props.postId}/>)
  }
}

Selector

import {getActionData} from 'redux-tide';
{String} actionId - your action id
{*} sourceResult - your source response from server (not mapped response)
{String} status - pending|success|error
{Number} time - timestamp of action
{Boolean} hasError - has error or not
{String} errorText - text of error
{Boolean} isFetching - status === 'pending'
{Object|Array} payload - denormalized response for current action
{Object|Array} prevPayload - denormalized previous response
 

import {getActionData} from 'redux-tide';
import {
    createNewPost, 
    delPostById, 
    getAllPosts, 
    openEditPost
} from './actions';
 
export default connect(
  // single selector function for all your actions
  (state, props) => getActionData(getAllPosts)
)(SomeComponent)
 
export default connect(
  (state, props) => ({
    table: getActionData(getAllPosts)(state, props)
  })
)(SomeComponent)
 
// create custom selectors
const makeGetMergedActionData = (postId) => {
    return createSelector(
      [
        getActionData(updatePostById.withPrefix(postId)),
        getActionData(getPostById.withPrefix(postId)),
        someSelector // your selector
      ],
      (updateData, fetchData, someData) => {
 
        updateData = updateData || {}
        fetchData = fetchData || {}
 
        const sortedDataByUpdateTime = [updateData, fetchData].sort(item => item.time)

Other options to create an action

How to use .withPrefix, .withName, .clone methods?

For details you can look example:
different-entity-id-example
different-entity-id-source

This methods returns same action
But generate new uniq dispatch type and new uniq action state
You should be call .withPrefix, .withName, .clone when you are dispatch event and use getActionData

 
dispatch(getUserAction.withPrefix(userId)(userId))
connect(
  (state)=> getActionData(getUserAction.withPrefix(userId))
)
 
// And this methods can chain calls
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    'user', 
    (resp) => {resp.data}
).withName('user')
 
dispatch(getUserAction.withPrefix(userId)) // action type id and state key name includes user + userId
 
// OR
dispatch(getUser.withName('user').withPrefix(userId))
 
// AND selector
getActionData(getUser.withName('user').withPrefix(userId))

Custom server response mapper

// calling url 'user' but replace backend success response to resp.data
// You always can be get source response data 
// from selector getActionData property sourceResult
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    'user', 
    (resp) => {resp.data}
)

Call dispatch or getState in query builder method

 
// you can pass multi level functions or promises 
// (args) => (dispatch, getState) => (dispatch, getState) => (dispatch, getState) => ...
// calling url 'user/${userId}'
 
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    (userId) => {
        return (dispatch, getState)=>{
            // return Promise (axios call or other)
        }
    }
)

Whats else?

// actions.js 
 
export const get = (url) => {// returns Promise ajax call}
 
// simple action used custom method for getting data
export const getUserAction = createAction(user, () => {
 return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
   // cookie|local storage|other get data
   resolve({
     //data
   })
 })
})
 
// if you want to best action store name in redux, 
// you should used this pattern
// calling url 'user/${userId}'
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    (userId) => `user/${userId}`
).withName('UsersAction')
 
 
// calling url 'user/${userId}' 
// and post data (if you are using axios) {name, phone, email}
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    post, 
    (userId) => [
        `user/${userId}`,
        undefined,
        {name, phone, email}
    ]
)
 
 
// you can pass multi level functions or promises 
// (args) => (dispatch, getState) => (dispatch, getState) => (dispatch, getState) => ...
// calling url 'user/${userId}'
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    (userId) => {
        return (dispatch, getState)=>{
            return new Promise((resolve) => {
                resolve(`user/${userId}`)
            })
        }
    }
)
 
// calling url 'user' but replace backend success response to resp.data
export const getUserAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    'user', 
    (resp) => {resp.data}
)
 
 
// using with multiple entity ids (make two action ids and stores from simgle action)
export const getUserByIdAction = createAction(
    user, 
    get, 
    userId => `users/${userId}`
)
 
 
class UserComponent extends Component {
    // ...
}
 
const UserContainer = connect(
    (state)=>({
        userData: getActionData(getUserByIdAction.withPrefix(userId))(state, props)
    }),
    (dispatch)=>({
        getUser:(userId) => (dispatch(getUserByIdAction.withPrefix(userId)(userId))
    })
)(UserComponent)

Additional information, "createAction" public methods

// when you did action, you can use action public methods 
export const getAllPosts = createAction(
    postsSchema, 
    get, 
    `posts?_embed=comments&_order=desc` // simple static url
)
 
// you can call: 
// getAllPosts.type()
// getAllPosts.getEntityId(postObj)
// getAllPosts.getSchema() 
// getAllPosts.clone()
// getAllPosts.withPrefix(customPrefixId) // customPrefixId might be postId 
// getAllPosts.withName(yourCustomName)
// getAllPosts.empty()
