Fetchum Redux

Redux Actions for Fetchum

Install

npm i -S fetchum-redux

Api - generateRequest

generateRequest returns a fetchum generateRequest wrapped in a thunk action.

When then returned function is called it will trigger 2 actions. First 'NEW_FETCH_REQUEST' then 'FETCH_REQUEST_SUCCESS' if successful and 'FETCH_REQUEST_FAILURE' if not.

Examples

This example assumes redux-thunk is being used

import { generateRequest } from 'fetchum-redux';
 
const getRandomUserReq = generateRequest({
  method: 'GET',
  external: true,
  route: 'http://uifaces.com/api/v1/random',
});
 
const getRandomUser = () => {
  dispatch(getRandomUserReq())
    .then(res => console.log(res.data))
    .catch(res => console.error(res));
};

If you dont want to use redux-thunk then use like so:

import { generateRequest } from 'fetchum-redux';
 
const getRandomUserReq = generateRequest({
  method: 'GET',
  external: true,
  route: 'http://uifaces.com/api/v1/random',
});
 
const getRandomUser = () => {
  getRandomUserReq()(dispatch)
    .then(res => console.log(res.data))
    .catch(res => console.error(res));
};

Api - generateCRUDRequests

Return exactly like generateCRUDRequests from Fetchum but uses fetchum-redux generateRequest and passes a modify type param.

• fetchAll adds FETCH_ALL to the type eg: 'NEW_FETCH_ALL_FETCH_REQUEST' 'FETCH_ALL_FETCH_REQUEST_SUCCESS'
• fetchOne adds FETCH_ONE
• create adds CREATE
• update adds UPDATE
• delete adds DELETE

Api - basic Calls

All of fetchum's basic calls work as well like so:

import { apiRequests } from 'fetchum-redux';
 
const getUsersDirect = () => {
  apiRequests.get('/v1/users')(dispatch)
    .then((res) => { console.log('my users', res.data); })
    .catch((res, err) => { console.warn(res); });
};
 
const getUsersDirectWithThunk = () => {
  dispatch(apiRequests.get('/v1/users'))
    .then((res) => { console.log('my users', res.data); })
    .catch((res, err) => { console.warn(res); });
};

Modifying action types

Each method also takes an extra parameter at the end to use to modify the action type names. The name parameter replaces the word 'FETCH' in the action type like so:

generateRequest looks like generateRequest({}, 'TEST') and the action types will be: First 'NEW_TEST_REQUEST' then 'TEST_REQUEST_SUCCESS' if successful and 'TEST_REQUEST_FAILURE' if not.

generateCRUDRequests keeps its individual additions noted above but still overrides the word 'FETCH'. For example generateCRUDRequests('/users', 'id', true, 'USERS') for a fetchOne would trigger first 'NEW_FETCH_ONE_USERS_REQUEST' then 'FETCH_ONE_USERS_REQUEST_SUCCESS' if successful and 'FETCH_ONE_USERS_REQUEST_FAILURE' if not.
