# Usage with Redux
|
|
|
|
Although RNFirebase usage requires a React Native environment, it isn't tightly coupled which allows for full flexibility
|
|
when it comes to integrating with other modules such a [`react-redux`](https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux). If you wish to use
|
|
a Redux library designed for Firebase, we suggest taking a look at [`react-redux-firebase`](http://docs.react-redux-firebase.com/history/v2.0.0/docs/recipes/react-native.html)
|
|
for implementation with this module.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone integration
|
|
|
|
Although the following example works for a basic redux setup, it may differ when integrating with other redux middleware.
|
|
Imagine a simple TODO app, with redux we're able to abstract the Firebase logic out of components which allows for greater
|
|
testability and maintainability.
|
|
|
|
?> We use [`redux-thunk`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk) to provide async actions.
|
|
|
|
### Action Creators
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Actions
|
|
export const subscribe = () => {
|
|
return (dispatch) => {
|
|
firebase.database().ref('todos').on('value', (snapshot) => {
|
|
const todos = [];
|
|
|
|
snapshot.forEach((childSnapshot) => {
|
|
todos.push({
|
|
id: childSnapshot.key,
|
|
...(childSnapshot.val()),
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
dispatch({
|
|
type: 'TODO_UPDATE',
|
|
todos,
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Methods
|
|
export const addTodo = text => {
|
|
firebase.database().ref('todos').push({
|
|
text,
|
|
visible: true,
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export const completeTodo = id => {
|
|
firebase.database().ref(`todos/${id}`).update({
|
|
visible: false,
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of creating multiple actions which the reducers handle, we instead subscribe to the database ref and on any changes,
|
|
send a single action for the reducers to handle with the data which is constantly updating.
|
|
|
|
### Reducers
|
|
|
|
Our reducer now becomes really simple, as we're able to simply update the reducers state with whatever data has been returned
|
|
from our Firebase subscription.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const todos = (state = {}, action) => {
|
|
switch (action.type) {
|
|
case 'TODO_UPDATE':
|
|
return { ...action.todos };
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return state;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export default todos;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Component
|
|
|
|
We can now easily subscribe to the todos in redux state and get live updates when Firebase updates.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import React from 'react';
|
|
import { FlatList } from 'react-native';
|
|
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
|
|
import { subscribe, addTodo, completeTodo } from '../actions/TodoActions.js';
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
class Todos extends React.Component {
|
|
|
|
componentDidMount() {
|
|
this.props.dispatch(
|
|
subscribe()
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
onComplete = (id) => {
|
|
this.props.dispatch(
|
|
completeTodo(id)
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
onAdd = (text) => {
|
|
this.props.dispatch(
|
|
addTodo(text)
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
render() {
|
|
return (
|
|
<FlatList
|
|
data={this.props.todos}
|
|
...
|
|
/>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function mapStateToProps(state) {
|
|
return {
|
|
todos: state.todos,
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export default connect(mapStateToProps)(Todos);
|
|
```
|
