pusher-redux

Integration of Pusher into Redux

Installation

You can download this by executing

npm -i S pusher-redux

Usage

Configure Pusher

import { configurePusher } from 'pusher-redux';
...
const options = { // options are... optional
  authEndpoint: '/authenticate/me'
}
const store = configureStore(initialState);
configurePusher(store, API_KEY, options);

Use it in your component

import { subscribe, unsubscribe } from 'pusher-redux';
import { NEW_ORDER } from '../pusher/constants';
...
export class MyPage extends React.Component {
  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);
    this.subscribe = this.subscribe.bind(this);
    this.unsubscribe = this.unsubscribe.bind(this);
  }

  componentWillMount() {
    this.subscribe();
  }
  
  componentWillUnmount() {
    this.unsubscribe();
  }
  
  // upon receiving event 'some_event' for channel 'some_channel' pusher-redux is going to dispatch action NEW_ORDER
  // you can bind multiple actions for the same event and it's gonna dispatch all of them
  subscribe() {
    subscribe('some_channel', 'some_event', NEW_ORDER);
  }
  
  unsubscribe() {
    unsubscribe('some_channel', 'some_event', NEW_ORDER);
  }
  ...
}

Change state in your reducer

import { NEW_ORDER } from '../pusher/constants';
...
function orderReducer(state = initialState.orders, action) {
  case NEW_ORDER:
    return [...state, action.data.order];
  ...
}

Format of actions

Pusher-redux dispatches actions of the following format:

    return {
        type: actionType,
        channel: channelName,
        event: eventName,
        data: data
    };

Delayed configuration

Sometimes you want to authenticate user for receiving pusher information, but you don't have user credentials yet. In this case you can do the following:

import { delayConfiguration } from 'pusher-redux';
...
const options = { // options are... optional
  authEndpoint: '/authenticate/me'
}
const store = configureStore(initialState);
delayConfiguration(store, API_KEY, options);

And once user information is available

import { startConfiguration } from 'pusher-redux';
...
startConfiguration({ // pass options
  auth: {
    params: {
      auth_token: user.authToken
    }
  }
});

React Native

If you want to use react-native then replace ALL imports of pusher-redux with pusher-redux/react-native e.g.

import { startConfiguration } from 'pusher-redux/react-native';

Options

Pusher-redux accepts all the same options that pusher-js does
