question: idiomatic way to reference dispatcher and/or state?

hi andrew,

redux-thunk facilitates referencing dispatcher and state by automatically providing the dispatcher and getState methods.

how would you recommend gaining similar references using redux-promise?

@kevana, i just tried the strategy outlined above, and the behavior i witnessed was the thunk not being executed.

the following doesn’t take i think because createAction puts the ‘thunk’ in a payload field…?

export const setSkill = createAction(
  actions.SET_SKILL,
  (skill) => {
    return (dispatch, getState) => {
      dispatch(setSkillBegin(skill))
      return getArticlesPromise(skill)
    }
  }
)

i have however had some luck with something like:

export const setSkill = (skill) => {
  return (dispatch, getState) => {
    dispatch(setSkillBegin(skill))
    dispatch(createAction(actions.SET_SKILL, getArticlesPromise)(skill))
  }
}

I am not sure what you mean. I have a “client action creator” that can dispatch success/error depending on the outcome of the api call. I use it in many other actions so I am no really repeating that code.
