Redux Action Decorators

Work in Progress

This project is under heavy development. I plan to ship something stable by the end of the March.

Terminology

• Action - object containing the information to be send to the store. dispatch(action)
• Action creator - function that returns action. dispatch(actionCreator('some data'))
• Factory - function that returns action creator. Examples are createAction implementations from redux-actions and redux-act dispatch(factory()('some data'))
• Decorator - function that accepts a factory and returns new factory. dispatch(decorator(factory)()('some data'))

Usage

This library provides composable decorators to build you own factory of action creators. It is focused solely on action creation. There is no plans to provide helpers to create reducers. Every decorator accepts optional factory to decorate and returns new factory.

Factory similar to redux-actions:

import { typed, fsa } from 'redux-action-decorators';
const createAction = fsa(typed());
const increment = createAction('increment'); 
expect(increment(1)).to.be.eql({ type: 'increment', payload: 1});

Factory similar to redux-act if you want to use action creators as reference instead of separate text constants:

import { types, fsa, named } 'redux-action-decorators';
const createAction = named(fsa(typed()));
expect(createAction('increment')(1)).to.be.eql({ type: 'increment', payload: 1 });
expect(createAction('increment').toString()).to.be.eq('increment');

// or 

import { createAction as factory } from 'redux-actions';
const createAction = named(factory);
expect(createAction('increment')(1)).to.be.eql({ type: 'increment', payload: 1 });
expect(createAction('increment').toString()).to.be.eq('increment');

Order of decorator application can be arbitrary in most cases.

import { types, fsa, named } 'redux-action-decorators';
const createAction = typed(fsa(named(fsa())));
expect(createAction('increment')(1)).to.be.eql({ type: 'increment', payload: 1 });
expect(createAction('increment').toString()).to.be.eq('increment');

Decorators

typed

Adds type field to action

expect(typed()('increment')()).to.be.eq({ type: 'increment' });

fsa

Adds payload and meta to action. Second argument of action creator will be used as descriptor of payload action field. Third as descriptor of meta action field.

let actionCreator = fsa()(); 
expect(actionCreator(1)).to.be.eql({ payload: 1 });

actionCreator = fsa()(null, (todos, status) => ({todos, status}));
expect(actionCreator(['todo'], true)).to.be.eql({
  payload: {
    todos: ['todo'],
    status: true,
  },
});

actionCreator = fsa()(null, (todos, status) => todos, (todos, status) => ({ status }));
expect(actionCreator2(['todo'], true)).to.be.eql({
  payload: ['todo'],
  meta: { status: true },
});

named

Add toString() method to the action creator returning first argument. It enables usage of action creator itself insted of action name constant.

import { handleActions } from 'redux-actions';
import { named, typed } from 'redux-action-decorators';

let createAction = named(typed());
const increment = createAction('increment');

const reducer = handleActions({
  [increment]: (state) => state + 1,
});

expect(reducer(1, increment())).to.be.eq(2)
