0.17.2

Added

• Add onMount handler for AltContainer. commit

  If you're using reducers then this allows you to not ever use waitFor since you can just call store.reduce(store.getState(), payload) in order to derive data.

  These reducer utils can be used for easily working with reducer only stores

Breaking Changes

• Removed Symbol

  Upgrade Guide

  • Remove all references to Symbol, Symbol.keyFor, etc.
  • Get access to the action's unique id via myAction.id

• Removed getEventEmitter()

  Upgrade Guide

  • You can no longer access the internal event emitter to dispatch your own custom events. This is usually an anti-pattern.
  • If you still need this behavior you can create your own event emitter in your store.

class TodoStore {
  constructor() {
    this.eventEmitter = new EventEmitter()

    this.exportPublicMethods({
      getEventEmitter: () => this.eventEmitter
    });
  }
}

• Removed _storeName.

  Upgrade Guide

  • _storeName was an internal property to the store where the store's name was kept.
  • You can now use displayName instead which is a public API.

• Removed stateKey. commit

  Upgrade Guide

  • A stateKey property was configurable on stores as well as app level.
  • This has now been removed.
  • This key was mostly used so you can use the react-like API of this.state, now this is being supported first-class.

// old behavior
class MyStore {
  static config = { stateKey = 'state' }

  constructor() {
    this.state = {}
  }
}

Now you can just use this.state directly. If it exists it'll be picked up.

// old behavior
class MyStore {
  constructor() {
    this.state = {}
  }
}

The old behavior of assigning state directly as instance properties will continue to be supported. However, this new behavior will be favored in the docs.

• Render.toString/toStaticMarkup now return an object rather than a string of html.

  Note: Render API is still in flux

  Upgrade Guide

// old
Render.toString(App, props).then(markup => console.log(markup))

// new
Render.toString(App, props).then(obj => console.log(obj.html))

• Render.toDOM no longer locks by default.

  Upgrade Guide

  • Render.toDOM used to "lock" meaning it wouldn't perform the fetches on the client when it rendered.
  • Now this is configurable and off by default in case you want to use Render to render client side only.

// old
Render.toDOM(App, props, document.getElementById('react-root'))

// new
// the `true` is to not fetch client side.
Render.toDOM(App, props, document.getElementById('react-root'), true)

Added

• A sweet new DispatcherDebugger react component which lets you debug your flux application on the browser. commit
• You may now return from actions directly in order to dispatch, no need to call this.dispatch.
• connectToStores can now be used where you specify the methods at the callsite. commit
• statics addon lets you add your static methods to components that have been connected. commit
• TypeScript definitions!. commit

Changed

• Made the promise resolution to then(success, failure) so errors will be properly rejected. commit

0.16.10

Added

• componentDidConnect for connectToStores. Allows you to specify data fetching in there. commit

• Hot reload of stores using webpack. commit

Changed

• Reversed the then/catch in the promise resolution for data sources so the catch only handles data source failures. commit

• Throw when passing undefined to store.unlisten. commit

0.16.9

Added

• preventDefault to stop a store from emitting a change. commit

• observe() a way for POJOs to observe for changes. commit

• otherwise() listen to all dispatches that have not been bound in your stores. commit

• reduce() listen to all dispatches in a store and return the new state. commit

• output() transform the output that is emitted from the stores. commit

• Proper server rendering resolving all data at the component level before rendering. commit

• Batched dispatches to avoid having componentWillMount cause a cannot dispatch while dispatching error when it loses context. commit

• Alt.debug for registering your alt instance with chrome dev tools. commit

• Function utils for transforming store state. commit
