reflux

Reflux

A simple library for uni-directional dataflow architecture inspired by ReactJS Flux.

Installation

You can currently install the package as a npm package:

npm install reflux

Usage

Create an action by calling createAction.

var Reflux = require('reflux');

var statusUpdate = Reflux.createAction();

Create a data store by passing a definition object to createStore.

// Creates a DataStore
var statusStore = Reflux.createStore({

    // Initial setup
    init: function() {

        // Register statusUpdate action
        this.listenTo(statusUpdate, this.output);
    },

    // Callback
    output: function(flag) {
        var status = flag ? 'ONLINE' : 'OFFLINE';
        this.trigger(status);
    }

});

In your component, register to listen to your data store like this:

// Fairly simple view component that outputs to console
function ConsoleComponent() {

    // Registers a console logging callback to the statusStore updates
    statusStore.listen(function(status) {
        console.log('status: ', status);
    });
};

var consoleComponent = new ConsoleComponent();

Invoke actions as if they were functions:

statusUpdate(true);
statusUpdate(false);

/**
 * Will output:
 * status:  ONLINE
 * status:  OFFLINE
 *
 */

See test/index.js for more example on how to use the package.
