Diode

Endpoint agnostic, unidirectional data fetching for React application

Diode is an early project, expect breaking changes every (minor) version update.

Features

• Unidirectional

  Data requirement flows one direction from child component to parent component so root component will know all data the child need. No more confusion where the data comes from (or what component should fetch what data) as root component data is the only source of truth.

• Declarative

  Declare your data requirements declaratively, no need to manually call API in componentDidMount and use this.state to store data from server. All your data in component will be available as props.

• Colocation

  Query next to views that rely on them. See your data requirement in the same place that your view resides.

• Endpoint agnostic

  Every query will have its own endpoint and configuration on how to call them. You can use any HTTP-based endpoint, including REST and yes, GraphQL.

Install

$ npm install react-diode

Usage example

See /examples directory
