Dead simple and ready-to-use store module for handling HTTP REST resources.

🚧 Deprecation notice

This project is no longer maintained as better alternatives came out.

Please use RTK-Query from the Redux Toolkit project instead.

Description

Generates types, actions and reducers for you to easily interact with any REST API.

Saves you from writing a lot of boilerplate code and ensures that your code stays DRY.

  • Requires redux-thunk to handle async actions.

  • Relies on fetch to perform HTTP requests.

  • Built with TypeScript for static type checking with exported types along the library.

Check the full documentation (built with gitbook).

Basically using a REST endpoint with Redux can be done with only a few lines:

import {createResource} from 'redux-rest-resource';

const hostUrl = 'https://api.mlab.com:443/api/1/databases/sandbox/collections';
const apiKey = 'xvDjirE9MCIi800xMxi4EKeTm8e9FUBR';

type User = {
  id: string;
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
};

export const {types, actions, rootReducer} = createResource<User>({
  name: 'user',
  url: `${hostUrl}/users/:id?apiKey=${apiKey}`
});

NOTE: If you want to use this in environments without a builtin fetch implementation, you need to bring your own custom fetch polyfill.
