Finnally a flux like framework don’t even need a tutorial.

Managing React Component state in Elegant & Functional way with transducers and channels from ClojureScript

Rational

flux and redux are great and solve state management and communication pretty well.

But they are too complicated, users have to know to many things about store, dispatcher, actions which they shouldn’t

In reality what we have to do is actually just need to talk to whatever component I like and get my state just from source of truth

• defining a action will create a tunnel for a component, so other component can talk to you via the tunnel.
• your new state is always come from tunnels
• your actions(what you can do) define what kind of tunnel you have.

For component who has actions, only thing it have to define is what can it do

For component who want to call other component’s action, it directly dispatch a message to that component.

SO, all user have to know is define actions and dispatch messages.

The Big Picture

Install

In your React project

npm install transdux --save

Usage

1. wrap you app with Transdux

<Transdux>
    <App/>
</Transdux>

2. define what your component can do

// MainSection.jsx
let actions = {
  complete(msg, state){
    return {
      todos:state.todos.map(todo=>{
        if(todo.id==msg.id)
          todo.completed = !todo.completed
        return todo
      })
    }
  },
  clear(msg,state){
    return {
      todos: state.todos.filter(todo=>todo.completed==false)
    }
  }
}

3. mixin Transdux Mixin and Bind Actions

// MainSection.jsx
  import {TxMixin} from 'transdux'
  let MainSection = React.createClass({
    mixins: [TxMixin],
    componentDidMount(){
      this.bindActions(actions)
    },
    ...
  })

4. dispatch a message

//TodoItem.jsx
import MainSection from './MainSection'
let TodoItem = React.createClass({
    mixins: [TxMixin],
    render(){
        <input className="toggle"
            type="checkbox"
            checked={todo.completed}
            onChange={() => this.dispatch(MainSection, 'complete',{id:todo.id})} />

    }
})
