Before

var types = require('./action-types')

function addLesson() {
  return {
    type: types.ADD_LESSON

}

function importLessons(lessons) {
  return {
    type: types.IMPORT_LESSONS,
    lessons
  }
}

function updateLesson(options) {
  return {
    type: types.SELECT_LESSON,
    id: options.id,
    update: options.update
  }
}

module.exports = {addLesson, importLessons, updateLesson}

After

var types = require('./action-types')
var {actionCreator, optionsActionCreator} = require('redux-action-utils')
 
module.exports = {
  addLesson: actionCreator(types.ADD_LESSON),
  importLessons: actionCreator(types.IMPORT_LESSONS, 'lessons'),
  updateLesson: optionsActionCreator(types.UPDATE_LESSON, 'id', 'update')
}
