with-reducer

React High order Component that allow you to dispatch actions with no need of redux as dependency.

Redux architecture is really nice, but you might not need it, instead you can only use setState.

But what about going a little bit further and keep your reducers as the key part of your application. with-reducer allows you to perfom this setState call, with a known interface like redux.

Install

npm install with-reducer

yarn add with-reducer

Usage

1. Create a component and export it with withReducer. You will need to provide a valid reducer for that component to work.

By doing that, you will get just for free a dispatch function into your props.

// example.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import withReducer from 'with-reducer';
import reducer from './example.reducer';
import { INCREMENT, DECREMENT } from './example.actions';

class Example extends Component {
  state = {
    counter: 0
  };

  increment = () => {
    this.props.dispatch(INCREMENT);
  };

  decrement = () => {
    this.props.dispatch(DECREMENT);
  };

  render() {
    const { counter } = this.props;

    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.decrement} type="button">
          -
        </button>
        <span>{counter}</span>
        <button onClick={this.increment} type="button">
          +
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default withReducer(reducer)(Example);

2. Create your reducer

// example.reducer.js

import { INCREMENT, DECREMENT } from './example.actions';

export default (state, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case INCREMENT:
      return Object.assign({}, state, {
        counter: state.counter + 1
      });
    case DECREMENT:
      return Object.assign({}, state, {
        counter: state.counter - 1
      });
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

3. And then your actions

// example.actions.js

export const INCREMENT = 'INCREMENT';
export const DECREMENT = 'DECREMENT';

That's it. Now you can do all your state modifications using dispath like you were dispathing a function in your redux app.

dispatch(actionType, payload = {})

• actionType: string
• payload: object, data you might need for that action.

This function will receive the name of the action to be executed and the payload (in case you need it).

It will automatically set the state and pass the same values as props in your component.
