Embedding into redux applications

When we embed ourselves into redux applications

• Redux
  • Initialisation
  • We need a selector to extract our state
  • We need a dispatcher to send state changes to
  • We need a reducer that updates the state
• Page management
  • We need to be able to display our pages
  • We need other people to be able to select our page
  • We need to select other people's pages

Initialisation

We need our starting state to be initiated. Things like messages/etc. Debug state...

Selector

• We need to get our 'common ids' out of the redux state
  • These are information such as 'customer id', 'account id', 'application id'... etc
  • They could change at any time. We need a local copy in our state
  • So... we need some optioneering here
    • Do we point our common lens at redux. We just use names for them, so we can centralise this
    • Do we copy into our state every time? This is quite simple and the default
    • Whatever we do we should 'information hide' it... check the design of the common lens...
• Messages
  • Probably we are just using simple messages. Check if there is an existing message structure

Dispatcher

• We just send 'our new state' which gets embedded back into the main.
  • Note that at this point we will put things like common ids in the global state. This should be fine and allows performance optimisation in the selector

Reducer

• Pretty much just a lens... takes our new state, stuffs it in the global

Display pages

• Our 'SelectedPage' is almost what we need
  • Might need a ReduxPage

##Select our page

• We need a React component to select our pages (one per team probably)

Select other people's page

• We will need to find out how to do this, and then make a Depedency injection point for it.

Multiple teams

• We will have multiple teams making our components. We need to make sure we know how we can work with multiple teams stuff...
• We could merge code bases (easy but dangerous)
• We could have a separate for each ... this feels the best... Because javascript is quite good at name spaces..
• Experimentation will be needed

Observations

So the only awkward bit is
