[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/redux-reducer-async.svg)](https://npmjs.com/package/redux-reducer-async)
[![Travis CI](https://img.shields.io/travis/AndersDJohnson/redux-reducer-async.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/AndersDJohnson/redux-reducer-async)

Be DRY & reduce boilerplate.
Standardize state schema with managed properties for loading, success, and error cases.

Think of it as [`redux-actions`](https://redux-actions.js.org/) for asynchronous reducers.

Works with [Flux Standard Actions (FSA)][FSA].
By default, supports the action type conventions of [`redux-promise-middleware`][redux-promise-middleware],
but see [Custom Action Types](#custom-action-types) below for configuration to support [`redux-promise`][redux-promise].

## Install

[![npm install --save redux-reducer-async (copy)](https://copyhaste.com/i?t=npm%20install%20--save%20redux-reducer-async)](https://copyhaste.com/c?t=npm%20install%20--save%20redux-reducer-async "npm install --save redux-reducer-async (copy)")

## Use

```js
import createReducer from 'redux-reducer-async'

const myActionReducer = createReducer('MY_ACTION')
```

results in a reducer like this:

```js
(state = {}, action = {}) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'MY_ACTION_PENDING':
return { ...state, loading: true, error: null }
case 'MY_ACTION_FULFILLED':
return { ...state, loading: false, error: null, data: action.payload }
case 'MY_ACTION_REJECTED':
return { ...state, loading: false, error: action.payload }
default:
return state
}
}
```

You can then mount it with [`combineReducers`](http://redux.js.org/docs/api/combineReducers.html):

```js
import { combineReducers } from 'redux'
import createReducer from 'redux-reducer-async'

const rootReducer = combineReducers({
myAction: createReducer('MY_ACTION')
})
```

Or even call it manually within another reducer (useful with [custom properties](#custom-properties) or [reducers](#custom-reducers)):

```js
import createReducer from 'redux-reducer-async'

const myActionReducer = createReducer('MY_ACTION')

const reducer = (state = {}, action = {}) => {
state = myActionReducer(state, action)
// ...
return state
}
```

### Custom Properties

You can provide custom property names (all optional) for each case to be used on the state:

```js
createReducer('MY_ACTION', {
loading: 'isMyActionLoading',
success: 'myActionData',
error: 'myActionError'
})
```

### Custom Reducers

You can also provide custom reducer functions (again all optional, but be careful to define all cases if you use non-standard property names in one):

```js
createReducer('MY_ACTION', {
loading: state => ({
...state,
myActionError: null,
myActionIsLoading: true,
extra: 'whatever'
})
// success, error...
})
```

And you can even mix these with custom properties:

```js
createReducer('MY_ACTION', {
loading: 'isLoading',
error: (state, action) => ({
...state,
isLoading: false,
error: action.payload,
also: 'etc'
})
})
```

### Custom Action Types

You can provide custom action types.

For example, to support [`redux-promise`][redux-promise], which uses same the action type for success and error cases (though it does not provide a loading action),
you can use `finalActionType`:

```js
import createReducer, { finalActionType } from 'redux-reducer-async'

createReducer(finalActionType('MY_ACTION'))
```

which is effectively like providing custom action types:

```js
createReducer({
loading: 'MY_ACTION_PENDING',
success: 'MY_ACTION',
error: 'MY_ACTION'
})
```

Or similarly by passing suffixes to the `actionTypes` helper,
which is normally used to explicitly define all types:

```js
import createReducer, { actionTypes } from 'redux-reducer-async'

createReducer(actionTypes('MY_ACTION', '_LOADING', '_SUCCESS', '_ERROR'))
```

But can also be used to suppress suffixes (here undefined means use default):

```js
createReducer(actionTypes('MY_ACTION', undefined, '', ''))
```

### Transforms

As a shortcut to defining custom reducers, you can provide transform functions to manipulate only the payload, optionally in success and/or error cases:

```js
createReducer('MY_ACTION', {
transform: payload => ({
...payload,
title: payload.title.trim()
}),
transformError: payload => ({
...payload,
message: `There was an error: ${payload.message}`
})
})
```
