Usually I use redux-saga, but currently I need redux-thunk. I'm using ducks for modular structure and now for example I have two ducks: auth
and user
with async actions below:
auth-duck.js
register(credentials) {
return dispatch => {
dispatch(actions.registerRequest());
return service.requestRegister(credentials)
.then((response) => {
dispatch(actions.registerSuccess(...));
// Here I need to dispatch some action from user-duck.js
})
.catch(() => dispatch(actions.registerError(...)))
}
}
user-duck.js
fetchUser() {
return dispatch => {...}
}
I really don't know how to not mess these two modules and dispatch fetchUser
after successful register
.
I could return register
result (e.g. token or something else) to container from here it was dispatched and then using chaining dispatch fetchUser
.
AuthContainer.js
_onSubmit() {
this.props.register().then(() => this.props.fetchUser);
}
But I don't know is it the best way to manage such operations with redux-thunk?
After a long search I found two options how to share the logic from separate domains.
The first one is to use mapDispatchToProps
(Thanks @DonovanM), just like this:
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return {
login: (credentials) => {
return dispatch(authActions.login(credentials)).then(
() => dispatch(userActions.fetchUser())
);
}
}
}
login
function returns Promise
thats why we can chain it to another one.
And the second possible option: Use something like a "bridge" file in our case it is app-sagas.js
app-duck.js
import {actions as authActions} from './auth-duck.js';
import {actions as userActions} from './user-duck.js';
export function doLogin(credentials) {
return dispatch => {
return dispatch(authAction.login(credentials)).then(
() => dispatch(userActions.fetchUser())
);
}
}
In the second case we can place all logic into ducks and avoid spreading the logic within containers. But I guess it is possible to combine both methods.
