Introduction

Mirror is a front-end framework based on React, Redux and react-router. It encapsulates state management, routing and other essential things to build web apps together in very few methods, and makes it much easier to use:

• Minimal API

Mirror has very minimal APIs, only 4 of them are newly introduced, the rest are all of existed ones from React or Redux, or react-router, like render and connect(although most of them are enhanced).

• Easy to start

You don't have to learn some new things to get started with Mirror, the only requirement is a basic understanding of React, Redux and react-router, you can learn more from the Redux Docs and react-router Docs. In fact, You can start writing your app from the first line of your code.

• Simple actions, sync or async

No manually created action types or action creators, no explicitly dispatchs, no thunk or saga stuff -- just call a function to dispatch your actions.

• Support loading models dynamically

In large apps, it's very likely that not all reducers and states(models) are defined the same time. In this case you may need to dynamically inject a model into your app's store. Mirror provides a very simple way to do that.

• Full-featured hook mechanism

Hooks give you the power to monitor every Redux action you dispatched, and do whatever you want.

Get Started

Creating an App

Use create-react-app to create an app:

$ npm i -g create-react-app
$ create-react-app my-app
$ cd my-app

After creating, install Mirror from npm:

$ npm i --save mirrorx
$ npm start

index.js

import React from 'react'
import mirror, {actions, connect, render} from 'mirrorx'

// declare Redux state, reducers and actions,
// all actions will be added to `actions` object from mirror
mirror.model({
  name: 'app',
  initialState: 0,
  reducers: {
    increment(state) {
      return state + 1
    },
    decrement(state) {
      return state - 1
    }
  }
})

// connect state with component
const App = connect(state => {
  return {count: state.app}
})(props => (
    <div>
      <h1>{props.count}</h1>
      {/* dispatch the action */}
      <button onClick={() => actions.app.decrement()}>-</button>
      <button onClick={() => actions.app.increment()}>+</button>
    </div>
  )
)

// start the app
render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'))
