Installation

npm install provide-array --save

Usage

Use provide-array to create providers with predictably named actions and reducers specific to manipulating arrays. Create as many providers/instances as you want and share them across multiple components.

The main export provideArray takes 3 arguments:

listName

defaults to 'list'

itemName

defaults to 'item'

indexName

defaults to 'index'

Condensed example (defaults)

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import provideArray from 'provide-array';
import { GoodStuff } from './components/index';
 
const list = provideArray();
 
const defaultProps = {
  providers: {
    list: {
      ...list,
      state: {
        list: [
          { fruit: 'apple' },
          { fruit: 'banana' }
          { vegetable: 'carrot' }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
};
 
render(<GoodStuff { ...defaultProps } />, document.getElementById('root'));

Components can then use the following default actions and reducers via propTypes.

Default actions

• setList (Array list) - sets the list
• sortList (Function sort) - sorts the list
• reverseList () - reverses the list
• updateList (Function update) - updates each item in the list
• filterList (Function filter) - filters items in the list
• shiftList () - removes the first item from the list
• popList () - removes the last item from the list
• sliceList (begin, end) - sets the list to the result of the slice
• spliceList (begin, deleteCount, ...items) - sets the list to the resulting splice
• clearList () - clears the list
• unshiftItem (...items) - puts the item(s) at the beginning of the list
• pushItem (...items) - puts the item(s) at the end of the list
• setItem (index, item) - sets the item at the index
• updateItem (index, item) - updates or sets the item at some index; if the existing item the update are both objects, it will merge the two as a new object
• deleteItem (index) - deletes the item at some index

Default reducers

• list - the list instance, of course
• listLength - the length of the list instance
• item - if the component instance contains a prop key matching the indexName (e.g., index), the item at that key within the list will be provided

Condensed example (custom)

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import provideArray from 'provide-array';
import { GoodStuff } from './components/index';
 
const goodList = provideArray('goodList', 'goodItem', 'goodIndex');
 
const defaultProps = {
  providers: {
    goodList: {
      ...goodList: {
      state: {
        goodList: [
          { fruit: 'apple' },
          { fruit: 'banana' }
          { vegetable: 'carrot' }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
};
 
render(<GoodStuff { ...defaultProps } />, document.getElementById('root'));

Components can then use the following custom actions and reducers via propTypes.

Custom actions

• setList -> setGoodList
• sortList -> sortGoodList
• reverseList -> reverseGoodList
• updateList -> updateGoodList
• filterList -> filterGoodList
• shiftList -> shiftGoodList
• popList -> popGoodList
• sliceList -> sliceGoodList
• spliceList -> spliceGoodList
• clearList -> clearGoodList
• unshiftItem -> unshiftGoodItem
• pushItem -> pushGoodItem
• setItem -> setGoodItem
• updateItem -> updateGoodItem
• deleteItem -> deleteGoodItem

Custom reducers

• list -> goodList
• listLength -> goodListLength
• item -> goodItem
