yourchoice-redux
Redux wrapper for yourchoice.
Installing
With npm
npm install yourchoice-redux --save
Since yourchoice-redux is a frontend module, you will need a module bundler like webpack or browserify.
Caution: Yourchoice Redux uses Symbol.iterator
which is not yet supported by all environments. You can polyfill it with core-js
if (!window.Symbol) {
require('core-js/es6/symbol')
}
Usage
Reducer
YourChoice Redux provides a reducer with a standard signature (state, action) => nextState
.
import {createStore, combineReducers} from 'redux'
import {reducer as yourchoiceReducer} from 'yourchoice-redux'
// connect to store
const store = createStore(combineReducers({
// ... other reducers
yourchoice: yourchoiceReducer
}))
Bind to selection
bindToSelection
returns an object that contains the yourchoice
actions and selectors bound to a specific selection.
import {bindToSelection} from 'yourchoice-redux'
// bind yourchoice to specific selection name
// if the selectionName is omitted it defaults to 'selection'
const mySelection = bindToSelection('my-selection');
/*
returns {
actions: {
setItems,
rangeTo,
remove,
...
},
selectors: {
getSelection,
getChangedSelection,
...
}
}
*/
Selectors
Selectors need to be given the substate the reducer acts on.
export {
getItems: (state) => mySelection.selectors.getItems(state.yourchoice)
}
Examples
Simple use case
import {createStore, combineReducers} from 'redux'
import {bindToSelection, reducer as yourchoiceReducer} from 'yourchoice-redux'
const selection = bindToSelection()
// connect to store
const store = createStore(combineReducers({
// ... other reducers
yourchoice: yourchoiceReducer
}))
// connect to ReactComponent
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
myList: selection.selectors.getItems(state.yourchoice),
mySelection: selection.selectors.getSelection(state.yourchoice)
}
}
// dipatch actions
store.dispatch(selection.actions.setItems([1, 2, 5, 8]))
store.dispatch(selection.actions.replace(2))
Bind more than one selection
// add global reducer to store at mountpoint yourchoice (see above)
// get action creators and selectors bound to selection name 'users'
const userSelection = bindToSelection('users');
...
store.dispatch(userSelection.actions.setItems(userList));
store.dispatch(userSelection.actions.replace('user-id-1'));
...
// get selector
const getSelectedUsers = (state) => userSelection.selectors.getSelection(state.yourchoice)
// get action creators and selectors bound to selection name 'teams'
const teamSelection = bindToSelection('teams');
...

type BoundAPI = { actions: ActionCreators; selectors: Selectors; };
type ActionCreators = { rangeTo: (item: Item) => Action; remove: (items: Item[]) => Action; removeAll: () => Action; replace: (item: Item) => Action; setItems: (items: Item[]) => Action; setSelection: (items: Item[]) => Action; toggle: (item: Item) => Action; };
type Selectors = { getChangedSelection: (state: State) => Item[]; getChangedDeselection: (state: State) => Item[]; getItems: (state: State) => Item[]; getSelection: (state: State) => Item[]; };
`bindToSelection` returns an object containing all the following action creators and selectors, bound to the given selection name.
<h3 id="_action_rangeTo">action creator: rangeTo</h3>
```javascript
rangeTo(item: Item): Action
Selects a range of items usally starting from the previously toggled or replaced item and ending at the given item
. This is equivalent to a shift+click by the user in a file manager.
The selectableItems
can be any javascript iterable.
This enables yourchoice to operate on any data structure. Native data types such as Array
or Map
implement the iterable protocol.
This action is usually dispatched initially before any selection is performed. This action should be called in order to update the state when selectable items have been added or removed. For example, if some of the currently selected items are not present in the given selectableItems
anymore, then these items will be automatically removed from the current selection.
Consider using a store middleware or saga to do this.
Returns an array containing the currently selected items.
<h3 id="_selector_getChangedSelection">selector: getChangedSelection</h3>
```javascript
getChangedSelection(state: State): Item[]
Returns an array containing those items that have been added to the selection by the directly preceding operation. E.g. calling this after a call to rangeTo()
will return all the items that have been added to the selection by this operation.
