redux-saga-event-iterator

An easy way of consuming an EventEmitter (e.g. socket.io) in redux-saga

Installation

Install using npm:

$ npm install --save redux-saga-event-iterator

Example

import {call} from 'redux-saga/effects';
import eventIterator from 'redux-saga-event-iterator';
import io from 'socket.io-client';

const socketClient = io('localhost:12345');

const listenerSaga = function * (eventName) {
  const {nextEvent, removeListener} = yield call(eventIterator, socketClient, eventName);

  while (true) {
    const payload = yield call(nextEvent);

    // Do something with payload
  }

  // Optionally remove listener, further calls to nextEvent will throw an error
  yield call(removeListener);
};
