Functions

composeReducers(reducers, defaultState)

Accepts an array of reducers and a default state and returns a single reducer. Any incoming action to the final reducer passes through all the reducers(from left to right). The state passed to a reducer will be the state generated by the reducer on its left

Example

import { composeReducers } from "@kubric/reduxutils";

const actions = {
  ADD: 'ADD'
};

const reducer1 = (state = {}, action, extraData) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case actions.ADD:
      return {
        ...state,
        one: 1
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

const reducer2 = (state = {}, action, extraData) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case actions.ADD:
      return {
        ...state,
        two: 2
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

let composedReducer = composeReducers([
    reducer1,
    reducer2,
], {
    four: 4
});

let results = composedReducer({
    four: 4
}, {
    type: actions.ADD,
}, { three: 3 });
//results will be
// {
//   four: 4,
//   one: 1,
//   two: 2
// }

combineReducers(reducerMap, options)

The same implementation of the redux combineReducers with 2 changes

1. If more arguments are passed to the combined reducer after state and action, these parameters will be passed on to all the individual reducers
2. options.ignoreNonReducerKeys: The redux combineReducers will ignore keys in the input state that do not have a corresponding reducer in the reducerMap. The behavior can be controlled with this option. If true, it will behave exactly like the redux combineReducers. If false(default), it will evaluate keys that have reducers and copy over keys(from the input state) that do not have a reducer associated with it

Example

import combineReducers from "../src/combinereducers";

const actions = {
  ADD: 'ADD'
};

const reducer1 = (state = {}, action, extraData = { one: "one" }) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case actions.ADD:
      return {
        ...state,
        one: extraData.one
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

const reducer2 = (state = {}, action, extraData = { two: "two" }, moreData = "three") => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case actions.ADD:
      return {
        ...state,
        two: extraData.two,
        three: moreData
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

let combinedReducer = combineReducers({
  reducer1,
  reducer2,
});

let results = combinedReducer({
    four: 4
}, {
    type: actions.ADD,
}, {
  one: 1,
  two: 2
}, 3);
//results will be
// {
//     one: 1,
//     two: 2,
//     three: 3,
//     four: 4
// }

batchedActionReducer(reducer, options)

Generates a new reducer that can handle a batch of actions in a single state update. A batch of actions is just another action, that has

1. A type that is provided while generating the batch processing reducer
2. An array of action objects that can be found at a path that is specified at the time of generating the reducer

options

• type: Type of the action that will be dispatched to the state if it is a batched action. Default - BATCHED_ACTION
• path: The path within the batched action object where the batched reducer looks for the array of actions that need to be evaluated by the reducer. Default - payload

Example

import { batchedActionReducer } from "@kubric/reduxutils";

const actions = {
  ONE: 'ONE',
  TWO: 'TWO',
  THREE: 'THREE'
};

const reducer = (state = {}, action = {}) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case actions.ONE:
      return {
        ...state,
        one: 1
      };
    case actions.TWO:
      return {
        ...state,
        two: 2
      };
    case actions.THREE:
      return {
        ...state,
        three: 3
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

const batchedReducer = batchedActionReducer(reducer);

const results = batchedReducer({ four: 4 }, {
    type: "BATCHED_ACTION",
    payload: [{
      type: actions.ONE
    }, {
      type: actions.TWO
    }]
});
// results
// {
//     four: 4,
//     one: 1,
//     two: 2
// }

patchState(state, patch, options)

Patches the redux state(string/array/object) with a value doing a shallow clone along the path where the patch is being applied

options

• path: path in the state at which the patch has to be applied. If the path is non existent, then it will be created and then the patch will be applied.
• at: If the current value in the path is an array or string, then the at parameter defines at which position in the array/string the patch needs to be applied

Example

An exhaustive list of examples can be found in the test cases for this function.
