Rematch Default Reducers

rematch makes working with redux a breeze, but there's still a bit of boilerlate that needs to be automated: reducers (or "actions" as I call them).

If you're tired of writing reducers like setThing, addThing, removeThing, or resetThing for every single piece of state, then this library is for you.

Installation

npm install --save rematch-default-reducers

Usage:

import {init} from '@rematch/core'
import {withDefaultReducers} from 'rematch-default-reducers'
import {tonsOfModelsWithTonsOfState} from '../models'
 
export default init({
  models: withDefaultReducers(tonsOfModelsWithTonsOfState),
})

Documentation

Below is the API for withDefaultReducers and the reducers it generates.

withDefaultReducers(models, [opts])
dispatch.${modelName}.set(payload, [meta])
dispatch.${modelName}.reset()
dispatch.rootState.reset()
When ${modelName}.state is a {}-Object
When ${modelName}.state is [] (Array)

`withDefaultReducers(models, [opts])`

the named and only export of rematch-default-reducer

models: {[modelName]: {state: any, reducers?: {[reducerName]: function}}}
- the models config expected by init() from @rematch/core
- state may not contain null or undefined values, or else TypeError will be thrown. null/undefined may be allowed by passing {allowNil: true} as opts
opts?: {allowNil, typeCheck}
- allowNil?: boolean (default: true) - if false, models' state may contain null/undefined, but reducers will not be generated for those slices of the redux store
- typeCheck?: boolean (default: true) - if false, default reducer actions will not perform type checking to ensure payloads preserve the type/interface the model was initialized with.

Common Default Reducers

these default reducers are provided for all models

`dispatch.${modelName}.set(payload, [meta])`

payload: any (required) - the value to set ${modelName}.state to
meta?: {typeCheck?: boolean} (optional) - options for the currently dispatched action
- typeCheck?: boolean (optional) - enables/disables type-checking that prevents set from altering the type/interface of the model. Default: true.

When ${modelName}.state is a {}-Object

set performs a deep merge between state and payload.

When ${modelName}.state is NOT a {}-Object

set overwrites model.state with the value of payload

Note: If the payload of set would alter the type/interface with which ${modelName}.state was initialized, then a TypeError will be thrown, unless {typeCheck: false} has been passed as an option to withDefaultReducers or as a meta option to dispatch.${modelName}.set.

`dispatch.${modelName}.reset()`

Sets ${modelName}.state to the value it was initialized with.

The `rootState` Model and Reducers

withDefaultReducers adds a pseudo-model called rootState. It has no state of its own, and only exists to provide a couple default reducers for performing updates across multiple models in a single action.

`dispatch.rootState.set(payload, [meta])`

payload: {[modelName: string]: any} - an updater object which will effectively be deep-merged with the redux store in order to produce the next state in a single action.
meta?: {typeCheck?: boolean} (optional) - options for the currently dispatched action
- typeCheck?: boolean (optional) - enables/disables type-checking that prevents set from altering the type/interface of the model. Default: true.

`dispatch.rootState.reset()`

Resets all models back to their initial state.

When `${modelName}.state` is a `{}`-Object

When a model's state is a {}-Object, default reducers are generated for each property of a model's state, in addition to dispatch.${modelName}.set and dispatch.${modelName}.reset. The reducer names are auto-generated based on the property's name and follow a camel-case naming convention.

`dispatch.${modelName}.set${PropName}(payload, [meta])`

payload (type depends on property's intial state) - the value with which to update the the property
meta?: {typeCheck?: boolean} (optional) - options for the currently dispatched action
- typeCheck?: boolean (optional) - enables/disables type-checking that prevents set${PropName} from altering the type/interface of the model. Default: true.

If the property being set is a {}-Object, then it set the property to the result of performing a deep merge between the property's current state and the payload.

Otherwise, it simply overwrites the value of the property with payload.

Note: If the payload of set${PropName} would alter the type/interface with which ${modelName}.state was initialized, then a TypeError will be thrown, unless {typeCheck: false} has been passed as an option to withDefaultReducers or as a meta option to dispatch.${modelName}.set${PropName}.

Example:

const {dispatch, getState} = init({
  models: withDefaultReducers({
    user: {
      state: {
        name: '',
        things: [],
        address: {
          street: {
            primary: '',
            secondary: '',
          },
          city: ''
          state: '',
        },
      },
    },
  }),
})
 
dispatch.user.setAddress({
  street: { primary: '123 ABC Lane'}
})
 
dispatch.user.setName('Anderson')
 
dispatch.user.setThings(['thing1', 'thing2'])
 
getState().user
/* {
      name: 'Anderson',
      things: ['thing1', 'thing2'],
      address: {
        street: {
          primary: '123 ABC Lane',
          secondary: '',
        },
        city: ''
        state: '',
    }
} */

`dispatch.${modelName}.reset${PropName}`

Resets the property to its initial state

Extra Reducers for `Array` Type Properties

When a property of ${modelName}.state is an Array, that property gets several other reducers in addition to set${PropName} and reset${PropName}.

For the sake of example and readability, let's assume that we have store initialized like so:

const {dispatch, getState} = init({
  models: withDefaultReducers({
    myModel: {
      state: {things: []},
    },
  }),
})

The following reducers would be generated:

dispatch.myModel.concatThings(payload: any[])
dispatch.myModel.concatThingsTo(payload: any[])
dispatch.myModel.filterThings(payload: { where })
dispatch.myModel.insertThing(payload: { where, payload })
dispatch.myModel.insertThings(payload: { where, payload })
dispatch.myModel.mapThings(mapFn)
dispatch.myModel.popThings(n?: number)
dispatch.myModel.pushThing(payload: any)
dispatch.myModel.removeThing(payload: any)
dispatch.myModel.removeThing(payload: { where })
dispatch.myModel.removeThings(payload: { where })
dispatch.myModel.replaceThing(payload: { where, payload })
dispatch.myModel.shiftThings(n?: number)
dispatch.myModel.unshiftThing(payload: any)

Take note that some reducers refer to the property name in the singular and some in the plural.

`dispatch.myModel.concatThings(payload: any[])`

payload: any[]

Sets myModel.state.things to the result of concatentating payload to the end of myModel.state.things

Example:

store.getState().myModel.things // => ['world']
dispatch.myModel.concatThings(['hello'])
store.getState().myModel.things // => ['world', 'hello']

`dispatch.myModel.concatThingsTo(payload: any[])`

payload: any[]

Sets myModel.state.things to the result of concatenating myModel.state.things to the end of payload

Example:

store.getState().myModel.things // => ['world']
dispatch.myModel.concatThingsTo(['henlo'])
store.getState().myModel.things // => ['henlo', 'world']

`dispatch.myModel.filterThings(payload: { where })`

payload.where: function(elmt: any, index: number): boolean

Filters myModel.state.things down to the elements that return true when passed to the predicate function on payload.where along with the element's index.

Example:

store.getState().myModel.things // ['blah', 4, 'blah]
dispatch.myModel.filterThings({where: (el, i) => typeof el === 'string'})
store.getState().myModel.things // ['blah', 'blah]

`dispatch.myModel.insertThing(payload: { where, payload })`

payload.where: function(elmt: any, index: number): boolean
payload.payload: any

Note singular | Inserts payload.payload at the first index where payload.where returns true. Pre-existing elements from that index onwards have their indexes incremented by one.

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => [{name: 'George'}, {name: 'Abe'}]
dispatch.myModel.insertThing({where: (el, i) => i === 1, {name: 'Ben'}})
getState().myModel.things // => [{name: 'George'}, {name: 'Ben'}}, {name: 'Abe'}]

`dispatch.myModel.insertThings(payload: { where, payload })`

payload.where: function(elmt: any, index: number): boolean

payload.payload: any[]

Inserts the contents of payload.payload starting at the first index where payload.where returns true. Pre-existing elements from that index onwards have their indexes incremented by the length of payload.payload.

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2, 3]
dispatch.myModel.insertThings({where: (el, i) => i === 1, [4, 5, 6]})
getState().myModel.things // => [1, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3]

`dispatch.myModel.mapThings(mapFn)`

mapFn: function(elmt: any, index: number): any

Sets myModel.things to the array returned from mapFn. Behaves mostly like Array.prototype.map, except it only has arity 1 and mapFn has only arity 2.

Example:

store.getState().myModel.things // => ['henlo', 'world']
dispatch.myModel.mapThings((el, idx) => el.toUpperCase())
store.getState().myModel.things // => ['HENLO', 'WORLD']

`dispatch.myModel.popThings(n?: number)`

n?: number (optional) - number of elements to "pop" from list. Default: 1

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself with the last n elements removed.

Example:

store.getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
dispatch.myModel.popThings()
store.getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2, 3, 4]
dispatch.myModel.popThings(2)
store.getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2]

`dispatch.myModel.pushThing(payload: any)`

payload: any - the value to append to the end of the list

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself with payload appended as the last element.

To append multiple elements see dispatch.myModel.concatThings.

store.getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2, 3]
dispatch.myModel.pushThing(4)
store.getState().myModel.things // => [1, 2, 3, 4]

`dispatch.myModel.removeThing(payload: any)`

payload: any - the value to remove

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself omitting the first element found to be strictly equal (===) to payload.

Example:

const [george] = getState().myModel.things // => [{name: 'George'}, {name: 'Abe'}]
dispatch.myModel.removeThing(george)
getState().myModel.things // => [{name: 'Abe'}]

`dispatch.myModel.removeThing(payload: { where })`

payload.where: function(elmt: any, index: number): boolean

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself omitting the first element for which payload.where returns true.

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
dispatch.myModel.removeThing({where: (el, idx) => el.length < 3})

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'neighbor?']

`dispatch.myModel.replaceThing(payload: { where, payload })`

payload.where: function(elmt: any, index: number): boolean
payload.payload: any

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself with the first element for which payload.where returns true replaced with the value of payload.payload.

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
dispatch.myModel.replaceThing({where: (el, idx) => el.length < 3, 'find'})
getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'find', 'my', 'neighbor?']

`dispatch.myModel.shiftThings(n?: number)`

n?: number (optional) - the number of elements to remove from the front of the list. Default: 1

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself with the first n elements removed.

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
dispatch.myModel.shiftThings()
getState().myModel.things // => ['you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
dispatch.myModel.shiftThings(2)
getState().myModel.things // => ['my', 'neighbor?']

`dispatch.myModel.unshiftThing(payload: any)`

payload: any - the value to prepend to the list

Sets myModel.things to a copy of itself with payload prepended to the list.

To prepend multiple elements, see dispatch.myModel.concatThingsTo

Example:

getState().myModel.things // => ["won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
dispatch.myModel.unshiftThing('Howdy!')
getState().myModel.things // => ['Howdy!', "won't", 'you', 'be', 'my', 'neighbor?']
