Use

Dispatch a promise as the value of the payload property of the action.

const foo = () => ({
  type: 'FOO',
  payload: new Promise()
});

A pending action is immediately dispatched.

{
  type: 'FOO_PENDING'
}

Once the promise is settled, a second action will be dispatched. If the promise is resolved a fulfilled action is dispatched.

{
  type: 'FOO_FULFILLED'
  payload: {
    ...
  }
}

On the other hand, if the promise is rejected, a rejected action is dispatched.

{
  type: 'FOO_REJECTED'
  error: true,
  payload: {
    ...
  }
}

That's it!
