redux-wpapi

redux-wpapi

A node-wpapi integration for a Redux based Application.

How it Works

This library exposes node-wpapi instance through the actionCreator callAPI. The resulting action is interpreted in the middleware, doing so by resolving the request and controlling the reducer through actions.

Installation

npm install --save redux-wpapi

Then, to enable ReduxWPAPI, use applyMiddleware() and combineReducers():

import reducers from './reducers';
import ReduxWPAPI from 'redux-wpapi';

const { reducer: wp, middleware } = new ReduxWPAPI({ /* … */ });
const store = createStore(
  // the reducer must be placed at the root of the state as `wp`
  // so the selector knows where state lives in
  { ...reducers, wp },
  applyMiddleware(middleware)
);

Usage

import React from 'react';
import { wp, selectRequest, ResponseStatus } from 'redux-wpapi';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';

export class HomePage extends React.Component {
  static loadData(props) {
    return props.callAPI(
      // The name where the request state will be placed
      'HomePagePosts',
      // A callback where wpapi instance is injected
      api =>
      api.posts()
      .page(props.page)
      .perPage(props.perPage)
    );
  }

  componentWillMount() {
    HomePage.loadData(this.props);
  }

  componentWillReceiveProps(props) {
    HomePage.loadData(props);
  }

  render() {
    const { status, data: posts } = this.props.request;

    if (!posts) {
      switch (status) {
          case ResponseStatus.pending: return <div>Loading…</div>;
          case ResponseStatus.rejected: return <div>An error has occurred</div>;
      }
    }

    return (
      <div>
        {!posts.length ? <NoPostFound /> : <PostList posts={posts} />}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default connect({
  request: selectRequest('HomePagePosts'),
}, { callAPI })(HomePage);

We are preparing some helper documents to facilitate the process (hopefully), but for now we're following the these guidelines:

• Be reasonable
• Give as much detailed information as you can
• Keep it as short as possible
• Let the code talk

Must have's

Every Pull Request must have the following:

• Unit tests for any functionality that's exposed to the end user.
• An entry in the CHANGELOG.md file.
