Use with Reducers

Handling actions dispatched by Redux promise middleware is simple by default.
const FOO_TYPE = 'FOO';
​
// Dispatch the action
const fooActionCreator = () => ({
  type: FOO_TYPE
  payload: Promise.resolve('foo')
});
​
// Handle the action
const fooReducer = (state = {}, action) => {
  switch(action.type) {
    case `${FOO_TYPE}_PENDING`:
      return;
​
    case `${FOO_TYPE}_FULFILLED`:
      return {
        isFulfilled: true,
        data: action.payload
      };
​
    case `${FOO_TYPE}_REJECTED`:
      return {
        isRejected: true,
        error: action.payload
      };
​
    default: return state;
  }
}
Action Types
Optionally, the default promise suffixes can be imported from this module.
import { ActionType } from 'redux-promise-middleware';
This can be useful in your reducers to ensure types are more robust.
const FOO_PENDING = `FOO_${ActionType.Pending}`;
const FOO_FULFILLED = `FOO_${ActionType.Fulfilled}`;
const FOO_REJECTED = `FOO_${ActionType.Rejected}`;
Large Applications
In a large application with many async actions, having many reducers with this same structure can grow redundant.
To keep your reducers DRY, you might see value in using a solution like type-to-reducer.
import typeToReducer from 'type-to-reducer';
​
const BAR_TYPE = 'BAR';
​
// Dispatch the action
const barActionCreator = () => ({
  type: BAR_TYPE
  payload: Promise.resolve('bar')
});
​
// Handle the action
const barReducer = typeToReducer({
    PENDING: () => ({
      // ...
    }),
    REJECTED: (state, action) => ({
      isRejected: true,
      error: action.payload
    }),
    FULFILLED: (state, action) => ({
      isFulfilled: true,
      data: action.payload
    })
  }
}, {});
