GitHub - densebrain/typedux: @Annotation driven redux with TypeScript

TypeDux / Redux / ReTyped

A leaf based TypeScript 2 Immutable wrapper around REDUX - all decoration driven

To start, like everyone else, I love the benefits of an immutable functional paradigm, but the overhead of implementing it in the real world consistently proves difficult for a number of reasons

Learning curve
Type Safety
Re-usability
Scope access
Integration into a current application

The issues arise from a completely decoupled solution, which in practice provides an optimal usage pattern, but provides hurdle after hurdle in terms of learning and on-boarding as well as reusing existing code.

Enter TypeDux, simply put it's redux with an immutable & observable root state that is statically typed at every node and end, reuse and manage

Install

Same as every other package, note that reflect-metadata, ImmutableJS and Redux are peer dependencies

NOTE: Runtime requires ES6 level polyfills - so babel-polyfill or transform-runtime, etc work just fine

npm i --save typdux

Getting Started

Create a leaf state and message (message is optional, only for typescript and can be any)

//Typescript

import * as Immutable from 'immutable'

/**
 * Leaf record defines allowed props
 */
const ExampleLeafRecord = Immutable.Record({
	str1: 'str1',
	str2: null
})

/**
 * Mock leaf state, dumb test state with test props
 */
class ExampleLeafState extends ExampleLeafRecord {
	str1:string
	str2:string

	constructor(props:any = {}) {
		super(props)
		
		Object.assign(this,props)
	}
}

/**
 * Typed action message (optional)
 */
interface ExampleMessage extends ActionMessage<ExampleLeafState> {

}

Create an ActionFactory

//Typescript
import {ActionFactory,ActionReducer,ActionThunk} from 'typedux'

class ExampleActionFactory extends ActionFactory<ExampleLeafState,ExampleLeafMessage> {
	
	constructor() {
  		super(ExampleLeafState)
  	}
  
  	leaf():string {
  		return 'exampleLeafKey';
  	}
  
  	/**
    * State Accessors are SUPER easy
		  */
    getStr1() {
			return this.state.str1
    }
  
    /**
    * Reducers (if you don't know what a reducer is checkout the redux docs)
    * are super easy, annotate ActionReducer and return a function that takes state  
		 */
  	@ActionReducer()
  	exampleStr1Update(val:string) {
  		return (state:ExampleLeafState) => state.set('str1',val)
  	}	
  	
  	/**
  	* Thunks are now track-able and wrapped in promises,  
  	* getState is superfluous as it dispatch because this.state and 
  	* calling any action directly provides required context 
		 */
  	@ActionThunk()
    exampleThunk() {
      return Promised((dispatch,getState) => {
        return Promise.delay(1000).then(() => "example")
      })
    }
}

Create the store

NOTE: ALL ACTION FACTORIES AND DECORATIONS MUST BE LOADED BEFORE CREATING THE STORE

// Typescript
const store = ObservableStore.createObservableStore(
	
	// Array of reducers (can be an empty array if only using @ActionFactory)
	reducers, 
	
	// Additional enhancers for dev, etc
	compose.call(null, ...enhancers) as StoreEnhancer<any>, 
	
	// Initial state
	null 
)

Observe store keys and leafs

// Create an observer
const unsub = store.observe(['exampleLeafKey','str1'],(newStr1,oldStr1) => {
	console.log(`str1 change from`,oldStr1,`to`,newStr1)
})
	
// Unsubscribe when done
unsub()
