MVC
MVP
MVVC
MVVM
MV*
Two key beneﬁts of MV* are:
• "attach multiple views to a model to provide
different presentations"
• "change the way a view responds to user input
without changing its visual presentation"

“MVC works pretty well
for small applications…
but it doesn’t make room
for new features.”
“Flux is a single direction data flow,
that avoids all the arrows
going on all directions
what makes really
hard to understand the system.”

Inspired in Flux
• Like Flux:
• Single direction data-ﬂow
• Has actions
• Actions are dispatched
• Has stores concept
• Views subscribes to stores
28

Inspired in Flux
• Unlike Flux:
• One single store
> Single source of truth
• No dispatcher (dispatch by Store)
• State is computed with reducers
> State is read-only
> Changes are pure functions
• State is injected to views

Actions
// actions are identified by type

// actions are always a JSON equivalent object

export function addTodo(text) {
return {type: ADD_TODO, text};

Bindings
$ npm install --save react-redux

Presentational vs Container
83
Presentational Container
Purpose
How to render things
(html + css)
How things work
(fetch data, updates, ...)
Aware of Redux No Yes
To read data Read data from props Subscribe to Redux state
To change data Invoke callbacks from props Dispatch Redux actions
Written by hand usually by react-redux

Application
• Stores, reducers and actions are pure Redux
• Presentational components are pure React
• You may design them ﬁrst
• Container components are the glue
• Design which data needs and which actions performs
• Decide which presentational components wrap
84

Presentational Component
function Toggle(props) {
return (
<span onClick={props.onToggle}>
{props.toggle ? 'on' : 'off'}
</span>
);
}
85

Container Component
const mapStateToProps = (state) => ({
toggle: state,
});
const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch, ownProps) => ({
onToggle: () => dispatch(toggle()),
});
const ToggleContainer = ReactRedux.connect(
mapStateToProps,
mapDispatchToProps
)(Toggle);
86

Providing the Store
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
<App />
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
87

Middleware
• What if we want log all actions?
• Log previous state
• Log dispatched action
• Log resulting state
89

Middleware
let action = addTodo('Use Redux')
console.log('dispatching', action)
store.dispatch(action)
console.log('next state', store.getState())
90

Middleware
function dispatchAndLog(store, action) {
console.log('dispatching', action)
store.dispatch(action)
console.log('next state', store.getState())
}
dispatchAndLog(store, addTodo('Use Redux'))
91

Middleware
• What if we also want save change states?
• What if we also want report crashes?
• What if we also want to time travel?
92

Middleware
const logger = (store) => (next) => (action) => {
console.log('dispatching', action);
let result = next(action);
console.log('next state', store.getState());
return result;
}
const stateSaver = (store) => (next) => (action) => ...;
const crashReporter = (store) => (next) => (action) => ...;
const timeTraveler = (store) => (next) => (action) => ...;
93

Middleware
const next4 = store.dispatch;
const next3 = logger(store)(next4);
const next2 = stateSaver(store)(next3);
const next1 = crashReporter(store)(next2);
const next0 = timeTraveler(store)(next1);
next0(addTodo('Use Redux'))
94

Middleware
const middlewares = [
logger, // 3
stateSaver, // 2
crashReporter, // 1
timeTraveler, // 0
];
const next = (action) => middlewares.reduce(
(next, middleware) => middleware(store)(next)
, store.dispatch);
next(addTodo('Use Redux'));
95

Middleware
const middlewares = [
timeTraveler, // 0
crashReporter, // 1
stateSaver, // 2
logger, // 3
];
const next = (action) => middlewares.reduceRight(
(next, middleware) => middleware(store)(next)
, store.dispatch);
next(addTodo('Use Redux'));
96

Compose
const greet = (x) => `Hello, ${x}.`;
const emote = (x) => `${x} :)`;
const compose = function(f, g) {
return function(x) {
return f(g(x));
}
}
let happyGreeting = compose(greet, emote);
// happyGreeting("Bob") -> Hello, Bob :).
97

Enhancer
import { applyMiddleware, createStore } from 'redux';
const store = createStore(
todoApp,
/* initialState, */
applyMiddleware(
timeTraveler, // 0
crashReporter, // 1
stateSaver, // 2
logger, // 3
)
);
98

Asynchronous
const PING = 'PING';
const PONG = 'PONG';
const ping = () => ({ type: PING });
const pong = () => ({ type: PONG });
export function pingPong() {
// first ping(), then 1 sec later, pong()
}
100

Asynchronous
export function pingPong() {
setTimeout(() => dispatch(pong()), 1000);
return ping();
}
101

Asynchronous
function pingPong() {
return (dispatch) => {
return ping();
};
}
103

Recap
const middleware = (store) => (next) => (action) => {
return next(action);
};

const middleware = (store) => (next) => (action) => {
if (typeof action === 'function') {

Computed Data
http://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/ComputingDerivedData.html

Selectors
• State should be single source of truth
• Normalized data
• No duplicated data
• Computed data can be obtained from state
• Compute under demand
• Memoize results
132

Using reselect
$ npm install --save reselect
133

Create Selector
import { createSelector } from 'reselect';
const getVisibilityFilter = (state) => state.visibilityFilter;
const getTodos = (state) => state.todos;
export const getVisibleTodos = createSelector(
[ getVisibilityFilter, getTodos ],
( visibilityFilter, todos ) => {
switch (visibilityFilter) {
case 'SHOW_ALL':

Selectors of Selectors
const getKeyword = (state) => state.keyword
const getVisibleTodosFilteredByKeyword = createSelector(

Selectors and Containers
const mapStateToProps = (state) => ({

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => ({
