ReduxHub

Use this library to create redux state nodes so you can plug-in as many as you want behaving as if they were a single one.

Installation

ReduxHub is available as an NPM package. You can install ReduxHub in your project's directory as usual:

$ npm install redux-hub --save

Usage

ReduxHub

StateHub class api

ReduxHub provides you with a class to instanciate your hub node.

StateHub is a Generic class and can be configured in advance so TypeScript can provide the right information.

Generics

On creating an instance of StateHub you need to provide the following Generics:

1. State - Provide your state interface.
2. Dispatchers - Provide your dispatchers interface.
3. HubModel - Provide the Hub model interface.
4. Result - Empty object where the node builder will store the used methods.

import { StateHub } from 'redux-hub';

const stateHub = new StateHub<State, Dispatchers, Hub, {}>();

---

StateHub instance api

Once you have created the instance you will be provided with one method to setting up your hub node.

node

Node method gets only one argument, the scope name for your hub node.

import { StateHub } from 'redux-hub';

const stateHub = new StateHub<State, Dispatchers, Hub, {}>();

const node = stateHub.node('scope-name');

---

Node builder api

Once we have set the node the api will provide two methods, one to set configuration and another one to create the state node.

set

This method receives two arguments, the first is the name of the property to set up and the second is the object to configure it.

The name of the properties that can be configured are actions, reducers and state.

Actions and reducers are mandatory

State is optional if the initial state is an empty object

import { StateHub } from 'redux-hub';

const stateHub = new StateHub<State, Dispatchers, Hub, {}>();

stateHub
    .node('scope-name')
    .set('actions', {})
    .set('reducers', {})
    .set('state', {});

create

This method, once you have configured the state node, can be used to get the state node instance.

Creating a node without configuring actions and reducers first will throw an error.

import { StateHub } from 'redux-hub';

const stateHub = new StateHub<State, Dispatchers, Hub, {}>();

const stateNode = stateHub
                    .node('scope-name')
                    .set('actions', {})
                    .set('reducers', {})
                    .set('state', {}) // In this case this line could be skipped.
                    .create();

ReduxHub Node API

dispatchers

This object wraps the action creators and dispatches the action on executing it.

node.dispatchers.test();

getState

This method returns node state.

node.getState();

createSubscriber

This method creates a subscriber to changes in state.

Subscriber Configuration Examples

Listening to any change in global state If you don't pass any configuration object to the subscriber it will listening to any state change and the listener function will be executed.

const subscriber = node.createSubscriber();
subscriber(listener);

Listening to any change in ReduxHub Node state If you want to react to all the changes in your ReduxHub Node state you have to pass a function that will return the state.

The listener function will be executed only if the state changed since last time it was executed.

const subscriber = node.createSubscriber({
    stateSelector: (state) => state
});
subscriber(listener);

Listening to an specific change in ReduxHub Node state If you want to react to an specific change in your state you have to pass a function that will return the state you want to check.

The listener function will be executed only if the specific state changed since last time it was executed.

const subscriber = node.createSubscriber({
    stateSelector: (state) => state.test
});
subscriber(listener);

Executing some code before executing the listener function If you need to execute some code before executing the listener function you can provide this function.

This function receives an object with the previous state and the current state.

The function will be only executed if the previous state and the current one are different.

If a function is provided as a handler property, the listener must be executed from inside of this function.

const subscriber = node.createSubscriber({
    handler: (stateHolder, listener) => {
        console.log(state.previous);
        console.log(state.current);
        listener();
    }
});
subscriber(listener);

You can also combine both methods to execute the handler only when an specific state has changed.

API documentation

API Documentation can be generated executing npm run docs. The documentation generated can be found inside the docs folder.

Build the source

This library has been written using TypeScript. If you need to use it in your project but you are not working with TypeScript you can always to build the code using npm run build This command will lint your code, run the tests and *compile to TypeScript.
