dispatchr

Dispatchr

A Flux dispatcher for applications that run on the server and the client.

Usage

For a more detailed example, see our example application.

Let's start with a store that can handle the actions:

var util = require('util'),
    EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;

function ExampleStore(context) {
    this.navigating = false;
}

util.inherits(ExampleStore, EventEmitter);

ExampleStore.handlers = {
    'NAVIGATE': 'handleNavigate'
};

ExampleStore.prototype.handleNavigate = function () {
    this.navigating = true;
    this.emit('update'); // Store may be listening for updates to state
    this.emit('final'); // Action has been fully handled
};

ExampleStore.prototype.getState = function () {
    return {
        navigating: this.navigating
    };
};

Now let's initialize our dispatcher and dispatch an action:

var Dispatchr = require('dispatchr'),
    ExampleStore = require('./example-store.js'),
    context = {};

Dispatchr.registerStore(ExampleStore);

var dispatcher = new Dispatchr(context);

dispatcher.dispatch('NAVIGATE', {}, function () {
    // Action has been handled fully
});
