Examples

Merge object to array

Say we have an UsersStore, and we fetch one user from API:

var traction = require('traction');
var users = [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'a'
}];

var onFetchOneUserSuccess = function(newUser) {
    users = traction.merge(newUser).to(users).basedOn('id');
};

onFetchOneUserSuccess({
    id: 1,
    name: 'b'
});
onFetchOneUserSuccess({
    id: 2,
    name: 'c'
});
console.log(users);

The output should be:

[{
    id: 1,
    name: 'b'
}, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'c'
}]

Merge array to array

Say we have an UsersStore, and we fetch multiple users from API:

var traction = require('traction');
var users = [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'a'
}, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'b'
}];

var onFetchOneUserSuccess = function(newUsers) {
    users = traction.merge(newUsers).to(users).basedOn('id');
};

onFetchOneUserSuccess({
    id: 2,
    name: 'c'
}, {
    id: 3,
    name: 'd'
});
console.log(users);

The output should be:

[{
    id: 1,
    name: 'a'
}, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'c'
}, {
    id: 3,
    name: 'd'
}]

NOTICE: the merge is deeply merge.

Merge based on multiple keys

Say we have an UsersStore, and we fetch one user from API:

var traction = require('traction');
var users = [{
    name: 'a',
    gender: 'male',
    age: 11
}, {
   name: 'a',
   gender: 'female',
   age: 20
}];

var onFetchOneUserSuccess = function(newUser) {
    users = traction.merge(newUser).to(users).basedOn('name', 'gender');
};

onFetchOneUserSuccess({
    name: 'a',
    gender: 'female',
    age: 30
});

console.log(users);

The output should be:

[{
     name: 'a',
     gender: 'male',
     age: 11
}, {
    name: 'a',
    gender: 'female',
    age: 30
}]
