Simple pattern for loading async data with react, redux and redux-thunk middleware
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import * as Actions from './action';
const mapStateToProps = ({ loaded, loading, error, data }) = ({ loaded, loading, error, data });
const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => ({ action: bindActionCreators(Actions, dispatch) });
export class MyComponent extends Component {
load = _ => this.props.action.load(this.props.id);
