Usage

Using in Redux

Classes as state really don't play too well with redux. SEE: Why Not to Store Objects In Redux

In ReactRedux/Vuex

  // inside a reducer
  switch(action.type) {
    case 'LOAD_USERS': {
      return new PersonCollection(action.users, User).toArray(); 
    }
    default: {
      return state
    }
  }
