Adding support for dispatching Sagas from Action Creators (like in redux-thunk)

Is there a functionality we lose if we would simply do dispatch(mySaga) instead of registering all the sagas in middleware on the store creation step

@yelouafi Thank you for the example. Below I have pasted a working middleware.

function isGenerator(fn) {
  return typeof fn === 'function' && 'next' in fn.prototype && 'throw' in fn.prototype;
}

const createSagaDispatcher = sagaMiddleware => () => next => action => {
  if (isGenerator(action)) {
    return sagaMiddleware.run(action).done;
  }

  return next(action);
};

export default createSagaDispatcher;

Here is an example of dispatching a generator…

This is not meant as a good example of when to dispatch a generator, just a way for me to prove the functionality.

I’ll close this. As I don’t plan to add dispatching to the core. Let me know If someone would like to contribute a separate middleware for this.
