aframe-redux-component

Hook in Redux reducers, data bindings, and action dispatches for A-Frame.

This component provides simple hooks into A-Frame for creating reducers, setting up component data-bindings to the state, and dispatching actions. All without React. What's cooler than Redux VR?

Usage

The Redux system will create the store by combining registered reducers:

<a-scene redux="reducers: counter"></a-scene>

To register reducers, use AFRAME.registerReducer:

AFRAME.registerReducer('counter', {
  actions: {
    DECREASE: 'COUNTER__DECREASE',
    INCREASE: 'COUNTER__INCREASE'
  },
 
  initialState: {
    number: 0
  },
 
  reducer: function (state, action) {
    state = state || this.initialState;
    switch (action.type) {
      case this.actions.DECREASE: {
        var newState = Object.assign({}, state);
        newState.number--;
        return newState;
      }
      case this.actions.INCREASE: {
        var newState = Object.assign({}, state);
        newState.number++;
        return newState;
      }
      default: {
        return state;
      }
    }
  }
});

The redux-bind component handles data binding. The component subscribes to the store to update an entity's components on every change. The keys of the component are state selectors, using dot-delimitation to reach deeper into the state. The values of the component define what components to data-bind the state property to.

This will bind reduxState.counter.number to the bmfont-text.text component property.

<a-entity redux="counter.number: bmfont-text"></a-entity>

To dispatch an action, we can use the Redux system's dispatch method.

AFRAME.registerComponent('increase-counter', {
  tick: function () {
    this.el.sceneEl.systems.redux.store.dispatch({
      type: 'COUNTER__INCREASE'
    });
  }
});
