Redux

1.Actions & Action Creators

//action type
const ADD_TODO = 'ADD_TODO';

//action creator, semantic methods that create actions
//collected together in a module to become an API
function addTodoAction(title, hour) {
  //action, an object with a type property and new data, like events
  return {type: ADD_TODO, title, hour}
}

2.Reducers

//a function that accepts an accumulation and a value and returns a new accumulation.
function todoReducers(state = [], action) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case ADD_TODO:
      //always return a new state, never mutate old state
      return [
        {
          id: Utils.GUID(),
          title: action.title,
          endTime: getEndTime(action.hour),
          completed: false
        },
        ...state
      ]
    default:
      //return default state
      return state
  }
}

3.Store

import { createStore } from 'redux';
//1. define store
let store = createStore(todoReducers);

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    this.state = {todos: []};
  }
  componentDidMount(){
    //2. subscribe store
    this.unsubscribeStore = store.subscribe(() =>{
      //3. getState
      this.setState({todos: store.getState()});
    });
  }
  componentWillUnmount(){
    //5. unsubscribe store
    this.unsubscribeStore();
  }
  renderTodoList = ()=>{
    //reder todo list
    return this.state.todos.map( (todo)=> {
      return <Text key={todo.id}>Todo: {todo.title}</Text>
    });
  }
  handleAddTodo = ()=>{
    //4. dispatching actions
    store.dispatch( addTodoAction('Create a new todo', 8) );
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <TouchableHighlight onPress={this.handleAddTodo}>
          <Text>Add Todo</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
        <ScrollView>{this.renderTodoList()}</ScrollView>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
