Redux-Falcor

redux-falcor helps connect your Redux applications to your Falcor API.

Installation

To install:

npm install --save redux-falcor

Usage

First include redux-falcor in the initial setup of your application.

import { createStore, combineReducers, applyMiddleware, compose } from 'redux';
import { createFalcorMiddleware, falcorReducer } from 'redux-falcor';
import { Model } from 'falcor';

const reducer = combineReducers({
  entities: falcorReducer
  // Other reducers here
});

// The falcor model that redux-falcor will query
const falcor = new Model({
  cache: {
    // Optional data here
  }
});

const finalCreateStore = compose(
  applyMiddleware(createFalcorMiddleware(falcor)),
  createStore
);

const store = finalCreateStore(reducer);

We can now access the data returned from Falcor through state.entities.*. To query that data we just need to dispatch a special action.

import { retrievePath } from 'redux-falcor';

store.subscribe(() =>
  console.log(store.getState())
);

store.dispatch(retrievePath('usersById[35]["email"]');

// This will logged:
// {
//   entities: {
//     usersById: {
//       35: {
//         email: "[e-mail]"
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

While its not suggested, you can also hook into the Falcor promise directly if you need to. For example:

import { retrieveValue } from 'redux-falcor';

store.dispatch(retrieveValue('usersById[35]["email"]').then((email) => {
  console.log(email); // [e-mail]
});
