# Redux Middleware for async actions

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/fetch-middleware.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fetch-middleware) [![npm downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/fetch-middleware.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fetch-middleware) [![Standard - JavaScript Style Guide](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-standard-brightgreen.svg)](http://standardjs.com/)

* FSA
* Promise based

#### Usage example

* **Actions creators**

```javascript
const githubFetching = createAction(GITHUB_FETCHING)
const githubError = createAction(GITHUB_ERROR)
const githubSuccess = createAction(GITHUB_SUCCESS)
```

* Create an action passing all action creators and the api call method

```javascript
export const getUserFromGithub = username => ({
type : [
githubFetching,
githubSuccess,
githubError
],
payload : {
data : () => axios.get(`https://api.github.com/users/${username}`)
}
})
```
* **type** is an Array with actions creators
* **payload** must have **data** property and it must to be a function that returns a **Promise**

**Note:** you can pass more properties inside **payload** and it will be passed to success action.

Basic flow: loginSending -> data -> loginSuccess / loginError

The middleware will call loginSending before apiCall and loginSuccess when promise got resolved, if got an error, loginError will be called.

### Reducer / Action creators example (with redux-actions)

* **Actions types**

```javascript
export const GITHUB_FETCHING = 'modules/Github/FETCHING'
export const GITHUB_SUCCESS = 'modules/Github/SUCCESS'
export const GITHUB_ERROR = 'modules/Github/ERROR'
```

* **Reducer**

```javascript
import {handleActions} from 'redux-actions'

import {GITHUB_FETCHING, GITHUB_SUCCESS, GITHUB_ERROR} from './actions'

const initialState = {
fetching : false,
user : null
}

const reducer = handleActions({
[GITHUB_FETCHING]: (state, action) => ({
...state,
sending : true
}),

[GITHUB_SUCCESS]: (state, action) => ({
sending : false,
user : action.payload.data
}),

[GITHUB_ERROR]: (state, action) => ({
...state,
sending : false,
})

}, initialState);

export default reducer
```

### Example without redux-actions

```javascript
const githubFetching = () => ({ type : 'GITHUB_FETCHING' })
const githubError = () => ({ type : 'GITHUB_ERROR' })
const githubSuccess = payload => ({
type : 'GITHUB_SUCCESS',
payload : payload
})

const initialState = {
fetching : false,
user : null
}

export const getUserFromGithub = username => ({
type : [
githubFetching,
githubSuccess,
githubError
],
payload : {
data : () => axios.get(`https://api.github.com/users/${username}`)
}
})

export default (state = initialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'GITHUB_FETCHING':
return {...state,
fetching : true
}
case 'GITHUB_SUCCESS':
return {...state,
fetching : false,
user : action.payload.data
}
case 'GITHUB_ERROR':
return {...state,
fetching : false
}
default:
return state
}
}
```

**Another Note:** You have to pass the default methods to dispatch in case of success or failure, but the middleware will always return a Promise.
So if you need to do something after dispatch these methods, you are able to use:

```javascript
dispatch(myAction())
// here we got the dispatch of success or failure and then...
.then()
.catch()
// and so on
```
