State management with models, immutable data and promise-based middlewares

Current Progress

• [x] Support express-like(use-like) and promise-based middlewares
• [x] Support Map, like {count: Number, login: {name: String}}
• [x] Support List, like List(Number)
• [x] Support Model, like Model('User', {name: String})
• [x] Support used with react component
• [ ] Support normalization and validation for key's value
• [ ] Support auto/manual garbage collection for non-referenced model records
• [ ] Support serialization for the state
• [ ] Consider practice on server render phase
• [ ] Consider partial data mount and unmount, to keep store low-memory cost

Features

• Use model to define your structured and relational data
• Support express-like(use-like) and promise-based middlewares
• Allow async call(promise/async-await) in the middleware
• Use immutable data and operates like immutable.js

Vision

//store.js
//define a model
const User = Model('User', {
  name: String,//literal key
  houses: List(House),//refer another model
})
const House = Model('House', {
  addr: String,
  user: User,
})

const structure = {
  loginUser: User,
  houseCount: Number, houses: List(House),
  prices: {dollar: Number, rmb: Number}
}
const store = new Store({structure});
store.use(router);

//router.js
const router = require('use-router');
router.all('/houses/query', (req)=>{
  const store = req.store;
  let state = store.state;
  return fetch('/houses/query', {userId: state.get(['loginUser', 'id'])})
  .then((result)=>{
    const {rows, count} = result;

    store.mutate((newState)=>{
      const houses = House.merge(rows)
      newState.set('houses', newState.get('houses').push(houses));
      newState.set('houseCount', count);
      newState.set(['houseCount', 'dollar'], count*1000);
    })
  })
  .catch(err=>{

  })
})

//AllHousesListView.js
class AllHousesListView extends Component{
  componentDidMount(){
    this.props.dispatch('/houses/query');
  }
  render(){
    const elHouseList = this.props.houses.map(house=><span>{house.get('id')} {house.get('addr')}</span>)
    return (<ul>
      {elHouseList}
    </ul>)
  }
}

connect((state, dispatch)=>{
  return {houses: state.get('houses')}
})(AllHousesListView)

Development

1. Run npm run watch in other terminal
2. Run npm run test:only -s to do test only work
3. Run npm test to do lint, build and test, before publish
4. Run npm run cover to do coverage test
5. Run npm run perf to do performance check
