actions
This process defines the set of steps performed by
redux-rest-easy actions, from the moment the request is performed to the moment we receive the payload.Dispatching the REQUEST action will trigger the corresponding reducer, and create a key in the store corresponding to the normalized URL of the request, with metadata useful to cache control and selectors. See reducers documentation.
Specifying an optional function
action.beforeHook when defining an action will allow executing this function everytime the preflight checks are passed for this action. If it returns a non-falsy value, the return value will be used as the body for the principal request. Useful to perform series of calls.The request will be performed using
fetch, using the URL action.url specified when defining the action, and the query parameters/body specified when dispatching the action.The status code of the answer will be handled, then the payload will be processed to JSON.
The payload will be normalized using optional function
action.normalizer if there is one (and if the request succeeded). The payload will otherwise be stored as-is.The payload metadata will be extracted using optional function
action.metadataNormalizer if there is one (and if the request succeeded).Dispatching the RECEIVE action will trigger the corresponding reducer and store the normalized data in the state. See reducers documentation.
Dispatching the FAIL action will trigger the corresponding reducer and update the normalized URL metadata. See reducers documentation.
Specifying an optional function
action.afterHook when defining an action will allow executing this function every time a request has successfully performed.Last but not least, specifying a
onSuccess / onFailure parameter when dispatching an action (e.g. from a component) will provide a way to specify callbacks at the component level, and to adapt the UI accordingly. See actions documentation.Last modified 5yr ago
