Mirror
A simple and powerful React framework with minimal API and zero boilerplate. (Inspired by dva and jumpstate)
Painless React and Redux.
Why?
We love React and Redux.
A typical React/Redux app looks like the following:
- An
actions/
directory to manually create allaction type
s (oraction creator
s) - A
reducers/
directory and tons ofswitch
clause to capture allaction type
s - Apply middlewares to handle
async action
s - Explicitly invoke
dispatch
method to dispatch all actions - Manually create
history
to router and/or sync with store - Invoke methods in
history
or dispatch actions to programmatically changing routes
The problem? Too much boilerplates and a little bit tedious.
In fact, most part of the above steps could be simplified. Like, create action
s and reducer
s in a single method, or dispatch both sync and async actions by simply invoking a function without extra middleware, or define routes without caring about history
, etc.
That's exactly what Mirror does, encapsulates the tedious or repetitive work in very few APIs to offer a high level abstraction with efficiency and simplicity, and without breaking the pattern.
Features
- Minimal API(only 4 newly introduced)
- Easy to start
- Actions done easy, sync or async
- Support code splitting
- Full-featured hook mechanism
Getting Started
Creating an App
Use create-react-app to create an app:
$ npm i -g create-react-app
$ create-react-app my-app
After creating, install Mirror from npm:
$ cd my-app
$ npm i --save mirrorx
$ npm start
index.js
import React from 'react'
import mirror, {actions, connect, render} from 'mirrorx'
// declare Redux state, reducers and actions,
// all actions will be added to `actions`.
mirror.model({
name: 'app',
initialState: 0,
reducers: {
increment(state) { return state + 1 },
decrement(state) { return state - 1 }
},
effects: {
async incrementAsync() {
await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve()
}, 1000)
})
actions.app.increment()
}
}
})
// connect state with component
const App = connect(state => {
return {count: state.app}
})(props => (
<div>
<h1>{props.count}</h1>
{/* dispatch the actions */}
<button onClick={() => actions.app.decrement()}>-</button>
<button onClick={() => actions.app.increment()}>+</button>
{/* dispatch the async action */}
<button onClick={() => actions.app.incrementAsync()}>+ Async</button>
</div>
)
)
// start the app,`render` is an enhanced `ReactDOM.render`
render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'))
