StateContainer

An idea for dispatching actions in an asynchronous manner. (Similar to Thunk)

Installation:

npm i @ts-kit/state-container

A state container is created by defining an initial state and a reducer

import { StateContainer, Action } from '@ts-kit/state-container';

const enum CounterTodoType { Increment, Decrement }

class Increment implements Action {
  readonly type = CounterTodoType.Increment
}

class Decrement implements Action {
  readonly type = CounterTodoType.Decrement
}

const container = new StateContainer((state: number, action: Increment | Decrement): number => {
  switch(action.type) {
    case CounterTodoType.Increment:
      return state + 1;

    case CounterTodoType.Decrement:
      return state - 1;
  }
}, 0);

Get state by subscribing to the value

// A raw action
container.value.subscribe(console.log);

Update State by passing it a StateChange which is either:

// A raw action

container.update(new Increment());
container.update(() => new Increment());

// A Promise that resolves to an action

container.update(fetch('/my-api').then(() => new Increment()));
container.update(() => fetch('/my-api').then(() => new Increment()));

// An Observable that resolves to an action

container.update(of('Hello').pipe(map(() => new Increment())));
container.update(() => of('Hello').pipe(map(() => new Increment())));

You can also use the individual pieces that make up a StateContainer for your own needs.
