vue-redux-connect

Connect a Redux store to a Vue component!

This module provides a function connect that can be used to create a Vue component that responds to state changes in a Redux store. The component can also dispatch actions to the store.

This package is inspired by react-redux.

You can find a similar, though slightly different, alternative to this package here: redux-vue-connect.

Installation

npm install --save vue-redux-connect

npm i -S vue-redux-connect

Usage

`connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)`

This assumes you are using a module bundler like Webpack.

In your source code, import the function connect using

import { connect } from 'vue-redux-connect'

Define a function that maps the state of your store to component props mapStateToProps. Now you can write:

const connectedComponent = connect(mapStateToProps)(myComponent)

If the component also needs to trigger one or more actions on the store, you can define a function mapDispatchToProps and pass it as a second parameter in connect:

const connectedComponent = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(myComponent)

The connectedComponent requires that the Redux store be passed as a prop. Eg. in a Vue template you would write:

<ConnectedComponent :store="store"/>

Example

This example describes a basic store that has an integer as its state, and handles a single action of type 'increment'.

store.js

import { createStore }  from 'redux'
const reducer = ( state = 0, action ) => {
  if(action.type == 'increment') return state + 1
  return state
}
export default createStore( reducer );

Counter.vue

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Value: {{ number }}</h1>
    <button @click="increment">Increment</button>
  </div>
</template>
 
<script>
export default {
  props: {
    number: Number,
    increment: Function
  }
}
</script>

App.vue

<template>
  <ConnectedCounter :store="store" />
</template>
 
<script>
import store from './store.js'
import Counter from './Counter.vue'
import { connect } from 'vue-redux-connect'
 
const mapStateToProps = ( state ) => ({ number: state })
const mapDispatchToProps = ( dispatch ) => ({ increment: () => dispatch({ type: 'increment' }) })
const connectedCounter = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Counter)
 
export default {
  components: { 
    'ConnectedCounter': connectedCounter
  },
  data: function () { 
    return {
      store: store
    }
  }
}
</script>
