Redux 1.0.9

Redux mini for .NET

It's simple "application state" container implementation like Redux for JavaScript.

How does it work?

Application state container is just plain IDictionary<string, object> instance.

You can manage application state with just three methods of Store instance:

public interface Store
{
  void Dispatch(Message message);

  IDictionary<string, object> GetState();

  Action Subscribe(Action<Message> handler);
}

"Send" Message to Store with Dispatch method:

string type = "User";

User user = new User()
{ 
  Email = "joedoe@mail.local" 
};

Message message = new Message(type, user);

store.Dispatch(message);

Get application container state from Store with GetState method:

IDictionary<string, object> state = store.GetState();

User user = state["User"] as User;

Know about application state change with Subscribe method:

public class CustomHandler
{
  private Store store;
    
  public CustomHandler(Store store)
  {
    this.store = store;
  }

  public void Handle(Message message)
  {
    IDictionary<string, object> state = this.store.GetState();

    /// React state change here
  }
}

CustomHandler handler = new CustomHandler(store);

Action unsubscribe = store.Subscribe(handler.Handle);

How to configure own application container?

Make a collection of Reducer-s with built-in tools:

  
List<Reducer> reducers = new List<Reducer>();

reducers.Add(new ReducerImpl("Order"));
reducers.Add(new ReducerImpl("Payment"));
reducers.Add(new ReducerImpl("Withdrawal"));
reducers.Add(new ExceptionReducerImpl());

/// And pass it to constructor of 
/// built-in Store implementation
Store store = new StoreImpl(reducers);

And you are ready to play with your application container. As you can see it knows about four Message types:

• "Order"
• "Payment"
• "Withdrawal"
• "Exception"

It will ignore any other unknown type Message-s.

Tool to get value from state container

There is built-in StoreValueProvider utility:

Order order = new Order();
Message message = new Message("Order", order);
store.Dispatch(message);

StoreValueProvider provider = new StoreValueProviderImpl();

provider.setStore(store);
provider.setKey("Order");

Assert.Equal(order, provider.get<Order>());
Assert.Equal(order, provider.get(typeof(Order)));
