WelpStore (object: {key: value}, callback_function: action)

WelpStore takes two arguments. First is a javascript object that will be turned into an Immutable Map.

WelpStore's second argument is a callback function that has dispatched action objects passed to it

const HelloStore = new WelpStore(
  {hello: {
    count: 0
  }},
  action => {
    switch (action.type) {
      case UPDATE_NUMBER:
        return HelloStore.replace(HelloStore.data().updateIn(['hello', 'count'], _ => action.data));
    }
  }
);

WelpComponent

WelpComponent is a base class for a React component that will implement Welp's Immutable store. I think by reading the small source, you can kind of see what it is up to.

pass props and and an array of [stores] to super.

WelpComponent will bind to all of the stores passed in that array. When data changes in the stores, WelpComponent will make a comparison of the previous state and previous props to see if there were changes, if so, we will re-render (look at shouldComponentUpdate in WelpComponent).

class App extends WelpComponent {
  constructor(props){
    super(props, [HelloStore])
    this.handleUpdateNumberChange = this.handleUpdateNumberChange.bind(this);
  }
  handleUpdateNumberChange() {
    return update_number(this.state.hello.count+1);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>Hello world! {this.state.hello.count}</p>
        <button onClick={this.handleUpdateNumberChange}>Add + 1</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
