Patterns

1.all redux-related functionality should live in a bundle.
2.Just keep a single, flat folder called bundles with one bundle per file.
3.Make an index.js file in bundles to export the result of composeBundles(), the resulting function takes a single argument which is any locally cached or bootstrapped data you may have, and returns a redux store. This is also useful for passing settings or config values to bundles that are dynamic as you see with the cachingBundle and googleAnalytics below:
1
import { composeBundles, createCacheBundle } from 'redux-bundler'
2
import config from '../config'
3
import user from '/user'
4
import other from './other'
5
import googleAnalytics from './analytics'
6
import { getConfiguredCache } from 'money-clip'
7
​
8
const cache = getConfiguredCache({
9
  version: config.browserCacheVersion
10
})
11
​
12
export default composeBundles(
13
  user,
14
  createCacheBundle(cache.set),
15
  other,
16
  googleAnalytics(config.gaId, '/admin')
17
)

4.Data is always read from the store via selectors
5.Selectors must be written to take the entire state as an argument
6.Selectors must be named starting with the word select such as selectAppTime.
7.Actions creators must be named starting with the word do such as doLogin.
Caching
Persisting data locally can have a huge impact on performance. But comes with many caveats with regard to loading stale data, loading data from another user, and handling changes in "shape" of data that's been cached.
Using money-clip with createCacheBundle can help address all of these issues. See money-clip readme for more.
This approach is implemented in the example app.
Routing
Use createRouteBundle() to generate routes as seen in the example app. When determining what to actually store as the "value" for a given route, I tend to use a component but you could certainly also return a string to be used for <title></title> or any other relevant items.
React-Native (RN)
If you are using redux-bundler with RN make sure you run global.self = global as the very first piece of code. The most common approach would be to put the code snippet in a seperate file and import it as the first one in your RN entry point/s.
Some bundles like the debugBundle arent compatible with RN. So we cant use composeBundles() and only the composeBundlesRaw() method can help us out. If you want to use the reactions feature dont forget to compose createReactionBundle() in the compose function otherwise your actions returned never got dispatched!
1
import { composeBundlesRaw, createReactorBundle } from 'redux-bundler'
2
​
3
export default composeBundlesRaw(
4
    createReactorBundle(),
5
    // ... add more bundles here
6
)

Using Redux DevTools
Both the debug bundle and redux dev tools are enabled if localStorage.debug is set to something "truthy". In this way you can keep your production apps debuggable, you just have to flip that localStorage.debug flag to enable it. Also beware that running localStorage.debug = false in your browser console won't actually turn it off. This is because LocalStorage serializes everything to strings so the value that's stored is actually the string "false" which... is truthy! So to turn it back off again, you can just do: delete localStorage.debug instead.
