Flux REST API for redux infrastructure

Package Exports

  • redux-api
  • redux-api/lib/adapters/fetch

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (redux-api) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Flux REST API for redux infrastructure

Build Status NPM version Coverage Status

Introduction

redux-api solves the problem of writing clients to communicate with backends. It generates actions and reducers for making AJAX calls to API endpoints. You don't need to write a lot of boilerplate code if you use redux and wanted to exchange data with server.

Inspired by Redux-rest and is intended to be used with Redux.

=======

Documentation

See DOCS.md for API documentation.

Use cases

=======

Install

with npm

npm install redux-api --save

with bower

bower install redux-api --save

If you don't use tools like webpack, browserify, etc and loading redux-api manually - the best way add redux-api to you project is:

<script src="(...)/redux-api.min.js"></script>
<script>
  window.ReduxApi = window["redux-api"];
  // or
  var ReduxApi = window["redux-api"];
  // initialization code
</script>

=======

Remote calls

redux-api doesn't bind you to a technology to make AJAX calls. It uses configurable adapters - a pretty simple function which receives 2 arguments: URL of endpoint and options - and returns a Promise as result. The default adapter has an implementation like this:

function adapterFetch(url, options) {
  return fetch(url, options);
}

// if you like jquery
function adapterJquery(url, options) {
  return new Promise((success, error)=> {
    $.ajax({ ...options, url, success, error });
  });
}

This implementation allows one to make any request and process any response.

And of course you have to set up adapter to your redux-api instance before using.

  reduxApi(....).use("fetch", adapterFetch)

Example

rest.js

import "isomorphic-fetch";
import reduxApi, {transformers} from "redux-api";
import adapterFetch from "redux-api/lib/adapters/fetch";
export default reduxApi({
  // simple endpoint description
  entry: `/api/v1/entry/:id`,
  // complex endpoint description
  regions: {
    url: `/api/v1/regions`,
    // reimplement default `transformers.object`
    transformer: transformers.array,
    // base endpoint options `fetch(url, options)`
    options: {
      headers: {
        "Accept": "application/json"
      }
    }
  }
}).use("fetch", adapterFetch(fetch)); // it's necessary to point using REST backend

index.jsx

import React, {PropTypes} from "react";
import { createStore, applyMiddleware, combineReducers } from "redux";
import thunk from "redux-thunk";
import { Provider, connect } from "react-redux";
import rest from "./rest"; //our redux-rest object

const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(thunk)(createStore);
const reducer = combineReducers(rest.reducers);
const store = createStoreWithMiddleware(reducer);

function select(state) {
  return { entry: state.entry, regions: state.regions };
}

class Application {
  static propTypes = {
    entry: PropTypes.shape({
      loading: PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
      data: PropTypes.shape({
        text: PropTypes.string
      }).isRequired
    }).isRequired,
    regions: PropTypes.shape({
      loading: PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
      data: PropTypes.array.isRequired
    }).isRequired,
    dispatch: PropTypes.func.isRequired
  };
  componentDidMount() {
    const {dispatch} = this.props;
    // fetch `/api/v1/regions
    dispatch(rest.actions.regions.sync());
    //specify id for GET: /api/v1/entry/1
    dispatch(rest.actions.entry({id: 1}));
  }
  render() {
    const {entry, regions} = this.props;
    const Regions = regions.data.map((item)=> <p>{ item.name }</p>)
    return (
      <div>
        Loading regions: { regions.loading }
        <Regions/>
        Loading entry: {entry.loading}
        <div>{{ entry.data.text }}</div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const SmartComponent = connect(select)(Application);

React.render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <SmartComponent />
  </Provider>,
  document.getElementById("content")
);
