vue-reducers-hooks, inspired by Redux, is a package designed specifically for Vue applications. It provides two powerful composables that facilitate handling state in a Redux-like manner:
-
useReducer: a composable that allows you to manage state using a reducer function, providing a simple and predictable way to update state based on actions.
-
useCombineReducers: a composable that enables you to combine multiple reducers into a single state management function, making it easier to manage complex state across different parts of your application.
Install with npm:
npm i vue-reducers-hooks
Define your initial state and reducer function:
const todosState = {
todos: [
{ id: 1, text: "Learn Vue.js", completed: false },
{ id: 2, text: "Build a to-do app", completed: false },
],
};
const todosReducer = (
state = todosState,
action:
| { type: "ADD_TODO"; payload: { id: number; text: string } }
| { type: "REMOVE_TODO"; payload: { id: number } }
): typeof todosState => {
switch (action.type) {
case "ADD_TODO": {
const { id, text } = action.payload;
return {
...state,
todos: [...state.todos, { id, text, completed: false }],
};
}
case "REMOVE_TODO": {
const { id } = action.payload;
return {
...state,
todos: state.todos.filter((todo) => todo.id !== id),
};
}
default:
return state;
}
};Use the 'useReducer' composable in your component to manage state:
import { useReducer } from "vue-reducers-hooks";
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(todosReducer, initialState);where "state" represents the current state of your application, while "dispatch" is a function used to dispatch actions to update the state.
Use 'useCombineReducers' when your Vue application's state management becomes complex, requiring multiple reducers to manage different parts of your application's state. This composable offers a modular approach to state management, allowing you to combine and manage multiple reducers efficiently.
Define your reducers function:
const todosState = {
todos: [
{ id: 1, text: "Learn Vue.js", completed: false },
{ id: 2, text: "Build a to-do app", completed: false },
],
};
const counterState = {
count: 0,
};
const todosReducer = (
state = todosState,
action:
| { type: "ADD_TODO"; payload: { id: number; text: string } }
| { type: "REMOVE_TODO"; payload: { id: number } }
): typeof todosState => {
switch (action.type) {
case "ADD_TODO": {
const { id, text } = action.payload;
return {
...state,
todos: [...state.todos, { id, text, completed: false }],
};
}
case "REMOVE_TODO": {
const { id } = action.payload;
return {
...state,
todos: state.todos.filter((todo) => todo.id !== id),
};
}
default:
return state;
}
};
const counterReducer = (
state = counterState,
action: { type: "INCREMENT" } | { type: "DECREMENT" }
): typeof counterState => {
switch (action.type) {
case "INCREMENT":
return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 };
case "DECREMENT":
return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
};Then combine them:
import { useCombineReducers } from "vue-reducers-hooks";
const { dispatch, stateSelector } = useCombineReducers({
todos: todosReducer,
counter: counterReducer,
});Update your reducers state by dispatching actions with the "dispatchCombineReducer" method. Simply specify the key of the reducer you wish to target for updating.
const todosDispatch = dispatch("todos");
const counterDispatch = dispatch("counter");
todosDispatch({ type: "ADD_TODO", payload: { id: 3, text: "new todo" } });
todosDispatch({ type: "REMOVE_TODO", payload: { id: 1 } });
counterDispatch({ type: "INCREMENT" });Utilize the "stateSelector" method to access and extract specific portions of the global state. This method keeps the selected state reactive, ensuring your UI updates automatically when the state changes.
const updatedCounter = stateSelector((state) => state.counter?.count);Whether you want to report a bug, request a feature or submit a pull request, your contribution is greatly appreciated.
