redux-rest-helper-for-loopback

library0.3.5jsnpmunverified

A Redux utility to automate creation of REST actions and reducers specifically for LoopBack APIs. Version 0.3.5, no recent updates since 2019. It integrates with redux-thunk, react-redux, axios, and randomstring. Differentiators: automatic resource name mapping for LoopBack endpoints, built-in error handling via push/notifError callbacks, and TypeScript support. However, it's not actively maintained and may lack modern Redux best practices.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

actionCreator

✓ import { actionCreator } from 'redux-rest-helper-for-loopback'

✗ const actionCreator = require('redux-rest-helper-for-loopback').actionCreator

ESM default export is not used; named import is correct. CommonJS require also works but named import preferred.

reducerCreator

✓ import { reducerCreator } from 'redux-rest-helper-for-loopback'

✗ import reducerCreator from 'redux-rest-helper-for-loopback'

This is a named export, not default export.

requestCreator

✓ import { requestCreator } from 'redux-rest-helper-for-loopback'

Used with actionCreator to define API paths.

Shows how to create actions and reducer for a resource named 'TEST' with an empty path, push/notifError stubs, and dispatch getAll action.

import { actionCreator, reducerCreator, requestCreator } from 'redux-rest-helper-for-loopback'; import axios from 'axios'; import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux'; import thunk from 'redux-thunk'; import { combineReducers } from 'redux'; const push = (path) => ({}); // dummy const notifError = (msg) => ({ type: 'NOTIF_ERROR', payload: msg }); const actions = actionCreator('TEST', requestCreator('/'), push, notifError); const red = reducerCreator('TEST', { name: '' }); const rootReducer = combineReducers({ test: red.getReducer() }); const store = createStore(rootReducer, applyMiddleware(thunk)); store.dispatch(actions.getAll());

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2019 and may not work with newer versions of Redux, react-redux, or axios.

fix

Consider migrating to Redux Toolkit and React Query for modern REST handling.

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchaactionCreator expects 'push' and 'notifError' functions but does not validate them; passing incorrect arguments leads to silent failures.

fix

Ensure push is a function that returns a Redux action for navigation, and notifError dispatches an error notification.

affects: all

gotchareducerCreator returns an object with getReducer method; forgetting to call getReducer() will break Redux store.

fix

Always use `red.getReducer()` when adding to combineReducers.

affects: all

breakingaxios is a peer dependency; missing it causes runtime errors.

fix

Run npx install-peerdeps redux-rest-helper-for-loopback or manually install peer deps.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: _this.props.dispatch is not a function

Redux store not properly connected to React components via react-redux Provider.

fix

Wrap your app with <Provider store={store}> and ensure connected components receive dispatch via connect or hooks.

Error: Actions must be plain objects. Use custom middleware for async actions.

Missing redux-thunk middleware or incorrect action creator usage.

fix

Apply thunk middleware: createStore(rootReducer, applyMiddleware(thunk))

Cannot read property 'getReducer' of undefined

reducerCreator called without arguments or with invalid resource name.

fix

Ensure first argument to reducerCreator is a non-empty string matching the resource name used in actionCreator.
