vdux-local

Bind a vdux component to local state using redux-ephemeral

Installation

$ npm install vdux-local

Usage

Just compose it around your virtual-component definition. E.g.

import localize, {localAction} from 'vdux-local'

const updateText = localAction('UPDATE_TEXT')

function render (props) {
  return (
    <input type='text' ev-change={e => updateText(e.currentTarget.value)} />
  )
}

function reducer (state, action) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'UPDATE_TEXT':
      return {
        ...state,
        text: action.payload
      }
  }

  return state
}

export localize({
  render,
  reducer
})

In your parent component, you must specify a key and pass down the state:

import TextInput from './text-input'

function render ({key, state}) {
  return (
    <div>
      <TextInput key={key + '.input'} state={state.input} />
    </div>
  )
}

But this is kind of verbose, so there is a curried childState helper passed as the second argument to render that will generate a key/state tuple for you:

function render (props, childState) {
  return (
    <div>
      <TextInput {...childState('input')} />
    </div>
  )
}

You can also pass multiple arguments for a dotted path:

function render (props, childState) {
  return (
    <div>
      {todos.map((todo, i) => <Todo {...childState('todos', i)})}
    </div>
  )
}

Local actions

vdux-local also exports a localAction function that creates local action creators that you may export from your component. It has an API similar to createAction from redux-actions, but the resulting action creator takes one extra argument: key. For example:

import {localAction} from 'vdux-local'

const TOGGLE = 'TOGGLE_DROPDOWN'
const toggleDropdown = localAction(TOGGLE)

// ...

function render ({key}) {
  return (
    <button ev-click={e => toggleDropdown(key + '.dropdown')}>
      Open dropdown
    </button>
  )
}

Your key should be a sub-property of your parent's key, so that the container component will receive its child's state, so that it can pass it along.
