redux-sequence-action

library0.2.1jsnpmunverified

A Redux middleware that enables sequential dispatch of actions using arrays and nested arrays, providing a declarative syntax for ordered action execution. Version 0.2.1, stable but unmaintained since 2016. It simplifies dispatching sequences like A → [B, C] → D → E without needing thunk or promise middleware. Differentiates from redux-saga or redux-observable by being a lightweight, pure middleware approach with no additional dependencies.

Verified usage

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

sequenceAction

✓ import sequenceAction from 'redux-sequence-action'

✗ import { sequenceAction } from 'redux-sequence-action'

Default export; named import will fail.

applyMiddleware

✓ import { applyMiddleware, createStore } from 'redux'

✗ import { applyMiddleware, createStore } from 'redux-sequence-action'

applyMiddleware is from redux, not this package.

dispatch

✓ dispatch([A, [B, C], D, E])

✗ dispatch(A, B, C, D, E)

dispatch takes an array of actions to sequence, not multiple arguments.

Demonstrates sequential dispatch: first a sync action, then a function with dispatch and getState, resulting in state changes in order.

import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux'; import sequenceAction from 'redux-sequence-action'; const reducer = (state = { count: 0 }, action) => { switch (action.type) { case 'INC': return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 }; case 'DEC': return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 }; default: return state; } }; const store = createStore(reducer, applyMiddleware(sequenceAction)); store.dispatch([ { type: 'INC' }, (dispatch, getState) => { console.log('After INC:', getState().count); // 1 dispatch({ type: 'DEC' }); } ]); console.log(store.getState().count); // 0

Debug

Known issues

gotchaAction creators must return an array of actions or thunks; returning a plain object will cause middleware to pass it through unhandled, potentially breaking the sequence.

fix

Ensure action creators return arrays or define a fallback for single actions.

affects: *

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2016; no compatibility with modern Redux (v4+) or TypeScript types.

fix

Consider using redux-thunk with promise chains or redux-saga for sequence control.

affects: *

gotchaWhen using nested arrays for parallel actions, the middleware does not actually run them in parallel; it dispatches sequentially in order, ignoring the array nesting semantics as parallel.

fix

Use Promise.all or a different middleware like redux-promise for true parallel dispatch.

affects: *

breakingThe function action (thunk) inside the array receives (dispatch, getState) but the dispatch provided by the middleware is the store's raw dispatch, which does not pass through other middlewares unless applied after in chain.

fix

Ensure sequenceAction is the last middleware in applyMiddleware chain to avoid middleware skipping.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

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

Dispatching an array action without the sequenceAction middleware.

fix

Add sequenceAction to applyMiddleware: applyMiddleware(sequenceAction).

TypeError: dispatch is not a function

Trying to dispatch an array inside a thunk that was not created by this middleware.

fix

Ensure the outer dispatch is from a store that has sequenceAction middleware, and use the pattern dispatch([...]).

Cannot read property 'type' of undefined

An element in the action array is undefined or null.

fix

Check all elements in the array returned by action creator to ensure they are valid actions or thunks.
