django-redux 0.0.8

Quickstart

$ pip install django_redux
$ npm install django_redux

Create a file called engine.py for your project:

from django_redux import action, ReduxConsumer


class MyConsumer(ReduxConsumer):

    def connect(self, message, **kwargs):
        if message.user.is_authenticated():
            self.send({
                'type': 'SET_USER',
                'user': {
                    'username': self.message.user.username,
                }
            })

    # This method will be called when the `INCREMENT_COUNTER` action gets
    # fired from the JS via the reduxBridge (see below).
    @action('INCREMENT_COUNTER')
    def incr_counter(self, message):
        self.group_send('broadcast', {'type': 'INCREMENTED_COUNTER', 'incrementBy': message['incrementBy']})

Create a file called routing.py for your project:

from channels.routing import route_class
from .consumers import MyConsumer

channel_routing = [
    route_class(MyConsumer),
]

in your settings:

CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'asgi_redis.RedisChannelLayer',
        'CONFIG': {
            'hosts': [('localhost', 6379)],
        },
        'ROUTING': 'myproject.routing.channel_routing',
    },
}

In your js entry point:

import React from 'react';

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { createStore, } from 'redux';

import reducer from '../reducers';
import Root from '../containers/Root.react';

import { reduxBridge } from 'django_redux';

const store = createStore(
  reducer,
);


reduxBridge.connect();
reduxBridge.listen(store);

render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Root />
  </Provider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

To send an action from redux:

import { createAction } from 'redux-actions';

import ActionTypes from './constants';
import { reduxBridge } from 'django_redux';


export const incrementCounter = createAction(ActionTypes.INCREMENT_COUNTER, (incrementBy) => {
  reduxBridge.send({
    type: ActionTypes.INCREMENT_COUNTER,
    incrementBy
  });
});

To send an action from channels:

from django_redux import send_action

send_action('mygroup', {
    'type': 'ACTION_NAME',
    'payload': {'any': 'thing'},
})
