Dead simple integration between the riot js router and redux

riot-redux-router

Dead simple integration between the riot js router and redux.

Combine Riot's router and redux so you can easily dispatch route actions to simultaneously update your store and the browser url. Does very little else - this readme is longer than all the code combined.

Features:

• route action to dispatch in order to change the route
• middleware to handle riot's router
• optional reducer to update the store with the current url

Install:

npm install riot-redux-router

Usage:

To start using the riot router with redux, you must add the riotRouterMiddleware to your store (and the router reducer or your own to track the current url).

The middleware listens for ROUTER_GO_ACTIONs and uses their payload to trigger the riot router's route function instead of continuing on to the reducers. When the route changes, the middleware dispatches a ROUTER_ROUTE_CHANGED action, which is handled by the reducer to update the current url in the store.

Example

Example initialization - add the router.middleware to redux

var riot = require('riot')
var redux = require('redux')
var router = require('riot-redux-router')

var reducer = require('./redux/reducer')

var createStoreWithMiddleware = redux.compose(
  redux.applyMiddleware(router.middleware),
  // window.devToolsExtension && window.devToolsExtension()
)(redux.createStore)

var reduxStore = createStoreWithMiddleware(reducer)

Example top level reducer -- router.current_url will be set on route change

var redux = require('redux')
var nav = require('riot-redux-router')


module.exports = redux.combineReducers({
  router: router.reducer,
  tasks: tasks.reducer
})

Example usage -- 'custom-tag.tag'

<custom-tag>

  <a onclick={selectPage} url='page1'>Page 1</a>
  <a onclick={selectPage} url='page2'>Page 2</a>

  <div class={hidden: state.router.current_url !== 'page1'}>Page 1 FTW</div>
  <div class={hidden: state.router.current_url !== 'page2'}>Page 2 is Great</div>

  <div>Current Page: {state.router.current_url}</div>

  <style scoped>
    .hidden { display: none; }
  </style scoped>

  <script>
    var actions = require('riot-redux-router').actions
    var store = this.opts.store

    store.subscribe(function() {
      this.state = store.getState()
      this.update()
    }.bind(this))

    selectPage(element) {
      store.dispatch(
        actions.route(
          element.target.getAttribute('url')
        )
      )
    }
  </script>
</custom-tag>
