Readme
A library to obtain a state of normalized data. Special fetch and reducer helpers are also provided in the export.
An implementation with a redux-thunk context is here, there for redux-saga. You can see also a poc with only a React Context (redux free) at this. Also, see this post for a presentation based on the pass culture project.
Basic Usage
Merge
If you want to merge patched data into an already existing state:
import { getNormalizedMergedState } from 'fetch-normalize-data'
const state = {
authors: [{ id: 0, name: "John Marxou" }],
books: [{ authorId: 0, id: 0, text: "my foo" }]
}
const patch = {
books: [
{
author: { id: 1, name: "Edmond Frostan" },
id: 1,
text: "you foo"
}
]
}
const config = {
normalizer: {
books: {
normalizer: {
// short syntax here: <datumKey>: <stateKey>
author: "authors"
},
stateKey: "books"
}
}
}
const nextState = getNormalizedMergedState(state, patch, config)
console.log(nextState)
We have:
{
authors: [
{ id: 0, name: "John Marxou" },
{ id: 1, name: "Edmond Frostan" }
],
books: [
{ authorId: 0, id: 0, text: "my foo" },
{
authorId: 1,
id: 1,
text: "you foo"
}
]
}
Delete
import { getNormalizedDeletedState } from 'fetch-normalize-data'
const state = {
authors: [{ id: 0, name: "John Marxou" }],
books: [{ authorId: 0, id: 0, text: "my foo" }]
}
const patch = {
books: [{ id: 1 }]
}
const nextState = getNormalizedDeletedState(state, patch, config)
console.log(nextState)
We have:
{
authors: [
{ id: 0, name: "John Marxou" }
],
books: []
}
Usage with config
config of getNormalizedMergedState can have:
| name | type | example | isRequired | default | description |
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| isMergingArray | bool | See test | non | true
| decide if nextState. will be a merge of previous and next data or just a replace with the new array |
| isMergingDatum | bool | See test | non | false
| decide if nextState.<arrayName>[...<datum>]
will be a merge from previous and next datum or just a replace with next datum |
| isMutatingArray | bool | See test | non | true
| decide if nextState. will be a concat or a merge from previous array |
| isMutatingDatum | bool | See test | non | false
| decide if nextState.<arrayName>[...<datum>]
will be a clone or a merge into the previous datum |
| normalizer | objet | See test | non | null
| a nested object giving relationships between datumKeys and entities to be store at stateKeys |
Fetch usage
fetchData
| name | type | example | isRequired | default | description |
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| apiPath | string
| /foos
| no | undefined
| apiPath will be join with rootUrl to build the request url |
| handleFail | function(state, action)
| TBP | no | undefined
| callback called if request has failed |
| handleSuccess | function(state, action)
| TBP | no | undefined
| callback called if request is a success |
| method | STRING
| POST
| no | 'GET' | http method for the request |
| stateKey | string
| foos
| no | <computed from apiPath or url>
| key into the store.getState().data.<stateKey>
where normalized merged or deleted data will be applied |
| url | string
| https://momarx.com/foos
| no | undefined
| total url of the request that will be used if apiPath is not used |
Reducer usage
fetch-normalize-data can play mainly with 3 types of actions:
REQUEST_DATA_(DELETE|GET|POST|PUT|PATCH)_(.*)
SUCCESS_DATA_(DELETE|GET|POST|PUT|PATCH)_(.*)
FAIL_DATA_(DELETE|GET|POST|PUT|PATCH)_(.*)
The action creator requestData is almost the only one you will need to use for fetching data at mount time or at event mutation time.
requestData
You can play with actions, but you need a special installation given the async action handler you take in your app:
See for example an example with https://github.com/betagouv/redux-thunk-data, but global use is like:
import { requestData } from 'fetch-normalize-data'
const config = {
apiPath: '/foos',
normalizer: {
'bar': {
stateKey: 'bars'
}
}
}
store.dispatch(requestData(config))
where config is all the possible config parameters you can find in
config of getNormalizedMergedState
or in the config of fetchData
