archetype-actions
Create Redux actions with run time type checks via Archetype
Goal
Add simple run time checks to the actions created in Redux by using Archetype
Action creators are usually simple functions, yet this is a good moment to do the runtime type checks to avoid polluting the store with inconsistent state.
// typical "add Todo" actionconst addTodo = { return type: 'ADD_TODO' text }
How
This is a very simple wrapper around Archetype code that just hides some details. See src/archetype-actions-spec.js for the current examples.
const archetypeAction = const addTodo = const add =
The created objects can be nicely serialized
console// ADD_TODO { text: 'do something', type: 'ADD_TODO' }console/*{ "text": "do something", "type": "ADD_TODO"}*/
A missing property causes a validation error
const add = // Error: text: Path "text" is required// at ADD_TODO (index.js:17:16)
Additional fields
You might want create helper wrapper if an action requires additional information. For example, if you want to include an id with each item
// typical Reduxlet nextTodoId = 0const addTodo = { return type: 'ADD_TODO' id: nextTodoId++ text }// archetype-actionsconst archetypeAction = const addTodo = let nextTodoId = 0// helper functionconst AddTodo = const add =
