Although this is quite an old question by now, it popped up several times when looking for an example. As @matthewatabet and @abguy mention, https://github.com/luskhq/redux-ws just mentions it has been deprecated and you can use Redux Thunk, without an example specific for web sockets.
For future reference, I found this article that outlines an example, that is implemented in a Github repo, starting on this file. This is for socket.io, but using web sockets directly should be similar.
Summarizing, in the Component call dispatch
with addNewItemSocket
:
<RaisedButton
label="Click to add!" primary={true}
onTouchTap={ () => {
const newItem = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.newTodo.input).value
newItem === "" ? alert("Item shouldn't be blank")
: dispatch(addNewItemSocket(socket,items.size,newItem))
{/*: dispatch(addNewItem(items.size,newItem))*/}
ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.newTodo.input).value = ""
}
}
/>
In the actions file, declare addNewItemSocket
as:
export const addNewItemSocket = (socket,id,item) => {
return (dispatch) => {
let postData = {
id:id+1,
item:item,
completed:false
}
socket.emit('addItem',postData)
}
}
To handle incoming messages from the socket, in the constructor of the component:
socket.on('itemAdded',(res)=>{
console.dir(res)
dispatch(AddItem(res))
})
And in the actoins file, declare AddItem
as:
export const AddItem = (data) => ({
type: "ADD_ITEM",
item: data.item,
itemId:data.id,
completed:data.completed
})
For me this is still new, so any feedback is appreciated. I will also file a PR with https://github.com/luskhq/redux-ws to have an example listed there.
