Redux-Thunk examples
// The classic AJAX call - dispatch before the request, and after it comes back
function myThunkActionCreator(someValue) {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch({type : "REQUEST_STARTED"});
myAjaxLib.post("/someEndpoint", {data : someValue})
.then(
response => dispatch({type : "REQUEST_SUCCEEDED", payload : response}),
error => dispatch({type : "REQUEST_FAILED", error : error})
);
};
}
// An example of conditional dispatching based on state
const MAX_TODOS = 5;
function addTodosIfAllowed(todoText) {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
const state = getState();
if(state.todos.length < MAX_TODOS) {
dispatch({type : "ADD_TODO", text : todoText});
}
}
}
// An example of checking state after a dispatch
function checkStateAfterDispatch() {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
const firstState = getState();
dispatch({type : "FIRST_ACTION"});
const secondState = getState();
if(secondState.someField != firstState.someField) {
dispatch({type : "SECOND_ACTION"});
}
}
}
// An example of a thunk dispatching other action creators,
// which may or may not be thunks themselves. No async code, just
// orchestration of higher-level synchronous logic.
function complexSynchronousThunk(someValue) {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch(someBasicActionCreator(someValue));
dispatch(someThunkActionCreator());
}
}
// One solution to the "cross-slice state in reducers" problem:
// read the current state in a thunk, and include all the necessary
// data in the action
function crossSliceActionThunk() {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
const state = getState();
// Read both slices out of state
const {a, b} = state;
// Include data from both slices in the action
dispatch(type : "ACTION_FOR_A_AND_B", payload : {a, b});
}
