fluxtore

Create Flux stores in an easy way. You wont need the constants and actions dependencies, everything will be isolated in the store.

Install

Fluxtore is available as npm module so you can run npm install fluxtore.

Creating a store

var fluxtore = require('fluxtore');
var todos = [];
var store = fluxtore.createStore({
  getTodos: getTodos
});

function getTodos() {
  return todos;
}

module.exports = store;

once you have your store you can use it in your react Components

var todosStore = require('./todosStore');
var TodoList = require('./todoList');
var todos = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
    return getTodosState();
  },
  
  render: function() {
    return (
      <div><TodoList todos={this.state.todos}/></div>
    );
  }
});

function getTodosState() {
  return {
    todos: todosStore.getTodos()
  };
}

Events

What about the events? I want to be notified if there is some chage in the list. You can specify a list of events that your store will emit and of course support subscriptions to.

var fluxtore = require('fluxtore');
var todos = [];
var store = fluxtore.createStore({
  events: ['change'],
  
  getTodos: getTodos
});

function getTodos() {
  return todos;
}

module.exports = store;

As a magic act your store now will support store.addChangeListener, store.removeChangeListner and store.emitChange. this way you can update your component to properly refresh data.

var todosStore = require('./todosStore');
var TodoList = require('./todoList');
var todos = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
    return getTodosState();
  },
  componentWillMount: function() {
    todoStore.addChangeListener(this.onTodosChange);
  },
  
  componentWillUnmount: function() {
    todoStore.removeChangeListener(this.onTodosChange);
  },
  
  onTodosChange: function() {
    this.setState(getTodosState());
  },
  
  render: function() {
    return (
      <div><TodoList todos={this.state.todos}/></div>
    );
  }
});

function getTodosState() {
  return {
    todos: todosStore.getTodos()
  };
}

Actions

Don't worry creating actions is pretty simple, just expose them on your store.

var fluxtore = require('fluxtore');
var todos = [];
var idSeed = 0;
var store = fluxtore.createStore({
  events: ['change'],
  
  getTodos: getTodos,
  
  actions: {
    addTodo: addTodo
  }
});

function addTodo(text) {
  todos.push({id: ++idSeed, text: text});
  store.emitChange();
}

function getTodos() {
  return todos;
}

module.exports = store;

Yes it's that easy

Calling actions from components

var todosStore = require('./todosStore');
var addTodo = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function() {
      return { 
        text: ''
      };
    },

    render: function() {
      return (
        <div>
          <input name="add" value={this.state.text} onKeyPress={this.keyPressedHandler} onChange={this.textChangeHandler}/>
          <button onClick={this.addButtonClickHandler}>Add</button>
        </div>
      );
    },

    addTodo: function() {
      todoStore.addTodo({text: this.state.text})
      this.setState({text: ''});
    },

    keyPressedHandler: function(e) {
      if (e.which === 13) {
        e.preventDefault();
        this.addTodo();
      }
    },

    textChangeHandler: function(e) {
      this.setState({
        text: e.currentTarget.value
      });
    },

    addButtonClickHandler: function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      this.addTodo();
    }
});

function getTodosState() {
  return { 
    todos: todoStore.getTodos()
  };
}

Important note that the actions are added on the root of the store, you should not call them from the store.actions.addTodo
