Redux actions, action creators and reducers to make life with JSON APIs a breeze.

Redux ❤️ JSON API

Redux actions, action creators and reducers to make life with JSON APIs a breeze.

Features

• Automatically maintains a state of all loaded entities
• Provides actions for
  • Creating entity
  • Reading endpoint
  • Updating entity
  • Deleting entity
• Automatically keeps reverse relationships up to date upon creation, update and delete
  • This applies only to relationships where the name of the foreign key is directly adhered from entity type—but can be both plural or singular

Usage

1. npm install redux-json-api
2. Enable JSON API reducer (examples assume that you've connected it to state.api)
3. Set up API hostname and path using the actions setEndpointHost and setEndpointPath
4. Configure access token with setAccessToken

You're now good to go. So have a look the the available actions below.

State structure

{
  "api": {
    "users": {
      "data": [
        {
          "type": "users",
          "id": 1,
          "attributes": { }
        }
      ],
      "isInvalidating": "IS_DELETING"
    },
    "isCreating": 0,
    "isReading": 0,
    "isUpdating": 0,
    "isDeleting": 0,
    "endpoint": {
      "host": null,
      "path": null,
      "accessToken": null
    }
  }
}

Entity objects are 1-to-1 with the API response.

API

Options

Each function accepts an options object with two callbacks: onSuccess, onError.

Create entity

createEntity(entity, options)

Pass a full resource object to createEntity. It will trigger a request to POST /${entity.type}.

Expects the API to return 200 OK with the newly created resource object in response body.

Read endpoint

readEndpoint(endpoint, options)

Provide the endpoint from where to read. E.g. users/1/roles. The module will read each entity and map them from their type specified.

Update entity

updateEntity(entity, options)

Pass your resource object to updateEntity. It will trigger a request to PATCH /${entity.type}/${entity.id}.

Expects the API to return 200 OK with the updated resource object in response body.

Delete entity

deleteEntity(entity.options)

Accept a resource object and triggers a request to DELETE /${entity.type}/${entity.id}.

Expects the API to return 204 No content.
