usage with react-router-redux

[jmarceli]

Thanks for the solution. I'll give it a try and report back.

Hello, I am really glad that you like it!

So here's the idea:

Your root view would look like this:

import { view } from 'redux-elm';

import buildRouting from './buildRouting';

export default view(({ history }) => buildRouting(history));

And the implementation of buildRouting is pretty straightforward:

import React from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { forwardTo } from 'redux-elm';
import { Router, Route, IndexRoute } from 'react-router';

import Template from '../../template/template';
import CounterView from '../counter/counterView';
import AsyncView from '../async/asyncView';

const connectView = (View, modelKey, ...nesting) =>
  connect(appState => ({ model: appState.root[modelKey] }))(
    props => <View {...props} dispatch={forwardTo(props.dispatch, ...nesting)} />);

const ConnectedCounterView = connectView(CounterView, 'counter', 'Counter');
const ConnectedAsyncView = connectView(AsyncView, 'async', 'Async');

export default history => (
  <Router history={history}>
    <Route path="/" component={Template}>
      <IndexRoute component={ConnectedCounterView} />
      <Route path="counter" component={ConnectedCounterView} />
      <Route path="async" component={ConnectedAsyncView} />
    </Route>
  </Router>
);

don't forget to modify boilerplate.js:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { createStore, compose } from 'redux';
import { Provider, connect } from 'react-redux';
import reduxElm from 'redux-elm';
import { browserHistory } from 'react-router';
import { syncHistoryWithStore } from 'react-router-redux';

export default (containerDomId, View, updater) => {
  const storeFactory = compose(
    reduxElm,
    window.devToolsExtension ? window.devToolsExtension() : f => f
  )(createStore);

  const store = storeFactory(updater);
  const history = syncHistoryWithStore(browserHistory, store);

  const ConnectedView = connect(appState => ({
    model: appState
  }))(View);

  render((
    <Provider store={store}>
      <ConnectedView history={history} />
    </Provider>
  ), document.getElementById(containerDomId));
}

Well, I didn't manage to make it work. Here is the result: https://github.com/jmarceli/redux-elm-router.

It doesn't change current route and every counter update ends with the warning:

browser.js:49Warning: [react-router] You cannot change <Router routes>; it will be ignored

Probably I misunderstood some of your ideas. If you'll be so kind and take a look I would be grateful.

@jmarceli fixed in jmarceli/redux-elm-router#1 ... I will keep this issue opened as we need to document react-router integration and some best practices.

[jmarceli]

Thanks for your help. Now everything works as expected. I've added a couple of commits to my repo to make the code more readable (I hope) and some comments which explains what's going on.

+1 for an example about react-router integration with redux-elm I'm wondering about the comment here: https://github.com/jmarceli/redux-elm-router/blob/master/src/template.js#L7-L8 and how elmish this is (I'm fairly new to this though so I might be wrong :) )

[jmarceli]

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated template.js according to the Elm Architecture (see: https://github.com/jmarceli/redux-elm-router/blob/master/src/template/view.js). Please take a look and tell me how you feel about it.

[jmatsushita]

You know how I feel thanks to this? Great! 😀 Very aesthetically pleasing!

[jmarceli]

I've updated my example code by adding custom routerMiddleware which allows for push('/someroute') usage from any elm component in the app. It is especially useful if you are using saga for handling form submissions and you want to redirect user after that.
